Tory, Bradford-on-avon, BA15 1NN

Tory is the terrace that climbs the hillside above Bradford on Avon, so high that the name is said to come from the old word for a hill. The people who built it clearly valued the view more than their knees, and so will you.

Number 9 is arranged over the ground, first and second floors, plus a mezzanine, above its neighbour 10 Tory. It was refurbished in 2023 under listed building consent: the roof was rebuilt with roof lights, the kitchen opened up, new windows and insulation went in, and the old roof void became a mezzanine study under the original timbers, the sort of desk that makes video calls look like a period drama. The living room has the sofas, the stairs and the window seat; the kitchen and dining area looks out over the rooftops; there are two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite, and the views from almost every window run across the town to the hills beyond.

The practicalities: freehold, title WT458110. 9 Tory owns the freehold of the whole building; 10 Tory, the one bedroom flat on the ground floor, is leasehold and pays a third of the building insurance and external maintenance. No ground rent and no service charge. Electric heating and hot water installed in March 2023, no gas; full rewire with an NICEIC certificate, January 2024; mains water and drainage (Wessex Water, metered); BT broadband. EPC E. Council tax Band C, £2,400.81 for 2026/27. Grade II listed, in the conservation area. Floor area, from the measured floor plan: about 1,119 sq ft (104 sq m) in the house, plus about 86 sq ft in three garden stores, so 1,205 sq ft in all (the EPC shows 118 sq m, which is the assessor’s own estimate; your solicitor to confirm the stores on the title). Both bathrooms are showers only. Tory has foot access only; parking is on the street or in the Budbury Place car park nearby, no permit needed.

For investors: it is run as a holiday let today, with gross takings of £26,005 in 2024, £26,164 in 2025 and £21,032 from January to September 2026, as supplied by the owners, and Wiltshire Council is aware of the use. Those are past takings, not a promise. Our lettings team can give a long-let estimate on request. 10 Tory is also for sale through us at £230,000, so the whole building can be bought together.

Living here: you are a short walk down the steps to the shops, cafés, the Saxon church and the station in the middle of Bradford on Avon, with trains to Bath and Bristol. Coming back up is the cardio you would otherwise pay a gym for.

Sold with vacant possession and no onward purchase. These particulars are a guide only and do not form part of any contract. Measurements and floor areas are approximate. Services and appliances have not been tested by us. Buyers should rely on their own solicitor and surveyor.
