Neighborhood highlights

Bradford on Avon has an old town of period stone buildings, surprisingly unspoilt by modern development - there are no chain stores in the town centre. The property is close to the Kennet and Avon canal on one side and the old Town Gasworks - now unused! - on the other side.

It is a popular tourist destination in its own right and Bath, its more famous neighbour, is only a short train ride away. It is an interesting place to explore and gives very easy access to walk or cycle along the canal and river bank. Explore the canal as far as you fancy - stroll to Avoncliff with its pub, viaduct and train halt or go on to Bath or beyond. Bath is under an hour by bike and Bristol can then be reached by an excellent cycleway. Bicycle and canoe rentals are available nearby!

The property is between the Kennet & Avon canal and the River Avon. The canal and Bradford on Avon lock are only a 2 minute stroll south and the river running through the town centre is a 5 minute walk north. Across the road is the town park and here you will find the tithe barn, craft and coffee shops and a children's play area.

The Canal Tavern pub with food is 1 minute walk and Dick & Jane's canal side cafe / restaurant is next to it. The Barge Inn with food is 5 minutes walk and the Bengal Indian restaurant is 1 minute's walk. Further into town are lots more food and pub options.
