For Sale7 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in Weston Road, Bath, Somerset, BA1£1,750,000

A large, Grade II listed family home dating back to 1835, with garage, walled gardens, and swimming pool, in need of modernisation. On the market for the first time in 50 years, Grafton Lodge is an exceptional, early Victorian family home, dating back to 1835, in a prime location. Thought to be the work of eminent architect James Wilson, this large, semi-detached property is packed with historic features and charm. Flagstone flooring from the front door leads through the entrance hall to the ground floor accommodation. Here, the kitchen (with Aga) and sitting room are to the right. A conservatory extends the living spaces, with aspects towards the west-facing gardens. Two larger rooms on this floor are impressive: the drawing room has a triple bay window with ‘French style’ glazed doors to the east-facing gardens, elegant ceiling height with original cornicing and coving and an open fireplace. The withdrawing room/study, features the same details as well as a ‘dumb waiter’ that was used to connect to the old ‘servant’s quarters’ for easy delivery of refreshments, etc. On the three upper floors, there’s a total of five bedrooms; a bedsit and four further bedrooms. On the lower ground floor, there are two apartments. Both have independent external doors and can remain as separate dwellings. Equally, the original doors connecting the accommodation on these levels to the rest of the house remain, and so reconnecting the apartments to the family home is also possible. Grafton Lodge has been a happy family home for three generations of the same family and is an exceptional property with huge potential.
