Avoncliff, Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, BA15

Ancliff Down is a remarkable hillside home set within a private 2-acre plot in a local conservation area, offering stunning open views. Originally an underground water reservoir, this unique property was skillfully transformed into a distinctive family residence in the late 1990s, showcasing a pioneering design that remains ahead of its time. This is the first opportunity for new owners to acquire this exceptional home, which, while in need of some modernisation and care, presents an exciting chance to create a truly bespoke living space. The property features a thoughtfully landscaped garden that provides large, level areas, enhancing its appeal. Its discreet position amidst the natural landscape ensures privacy and tranquility. The layout predominantly comprises single-level accommodation, with an additional first-floor living area accessible from the gardens. Inside, the home includes a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious sitting room, dining area, kitchen, utility room, cloakroom, and three bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en suite bathroom. An additional family room and study area can be found on the upper level. Notable features include an atrium roof light in the entrance hall, bamboo engineered wood flooring in parts, and tall windows that invite natural light. Outside, the property is approached via a country lane leading to a private road, close to the River Avon and Kennet & Avon Canal. The grounds are predominantly laid to lawn with established hedgerows and a wooded copse for added privacy. A driveway provides ample parking and turning space. Several outbuildings offer significant potential for various uses, subject to necessary consents, collectively providing over 2,100 sq ft of accommodation. The views from the gardens towards the Avon Valley are particularly striking, creating a sense of peace and space that is rare to find. This property not only offers a unique living experience but also the freedom for new owners to imprint their personal touch on this exceptional home.
