For Sale6 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in Oakley, Bath, Somerset, BA2£1,250,000

A six bedroom, semi-detached, Edwardian family home with garden and garage Built 1901-1905, Sussex Lodge is a semi-detached, family home with the elegant proportions and solid build of the Edwardian era. A glazed porch forms a welcoming entrance into the entrance hall with an ornate banister and staircase to the right. The living room has a sashed window triple bay to the front, deep skirting boards, coving and a picture rail. The sitting room has the same wall features, plus a stone fireplace, large window and glazed door that opens into the conservatory. Here, glazed doors open onto the south-west facing garden, with views across the long stretch of lawn. The dining room has windows to the side of the house, and is open to the kitchen, utility and WC - this area is an extension to the original house. Aesthetically, there’s room for modernisation, though the essential building and services have been well maintained - and there’s a new boiler. On the first floor, the principal bedroom occupies the same footprint as the living room, with an additional walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. There are two more bedrooms on this floor - both at the rear of the house and with fireplaces - plus a shower room and large linen cupboard. Rooms on the second floor are shaped by the roof eaves: two are double bed sized; one is single and there’s a bathroom. At the front, a stone wall encloses the drive, with parking for several cars, and a garage with workbench units and a window on the garden side. There’s access to the garage and garden at the side of the house. At the rear of the house, a paved dining terrace is in front of the conservatory, with a long, level lawn stretching the full length of the garden. Flowerbeds frame the fencing and walls along the boundaries, with some mature shrubs and a few trees softening the straight lines. It’s a private and south-west facing - the ideal orientation!
