For SaleSemi-Detached House in Lansdown Road, Bath, Somerset, BA1£1,000,000

A semi-detached, five bedroom house with drive, annexe and garden on Lansdown. Built in 2002, Hermitage Lodge features historical details of an older property, but with all the benefits of a modern home. At the front, the house has curved bays and a front door with a half-crescent transom window, above which is a stone arch. Inside, the quality of its build is obvious with solid Maple wood joinery throughout, including doors and window frames. In the hall, there’s a WC and under stairs cupboard. The stone tiled flooring continues into the kitchen which has glazed doors to the garden and two windows over the ceramic sink. The Corian worktops curve around, forming a breakfast bar on one side and separating the kitchen and dining spaces. There’s plenty of storage on both sides, as well as wall units, an induction hob with extractor fan and two electric ovens. There’s room for a large dining table, and doors to the sitting room can be open to create one large, family space. The sitting room has attractive five-window, bay to the front, wooden flooring and a stone fireplace with gas fire. The principal bedroom suite on the first floor has a large shower room and a wall of built-in wardrobes. There are two bedrooms at the rear of the house, one currently used as a study, with bookcases and drawers along one wall. The family bathroom includes a bath, shower and practical storage. The large room sizes and storage continues on the second floor, where the eaves spaces are maximised with cupboards on both sides of the house, plus there’s a boarded loft with further storage. Ceiling heights on this floor are generous and rooms benefit from plenty of natural light through Velux windows, with one bedroom featuring a dormer window. Attractive stone pillars frame the paved driveway, plus there’s a practical new ironwork gate at the front. The drive has space for three cars and a turning point. The rear garden can be accessed here via a handmade ironwork gate between the house and the annexe (and from inside via the kitchen/dining room). The garden has a large lawn with flowerbeds along the boundary fences and wall. There are mature flowerbeds and several fruit trees - cherry, apple, pear and plum espaliered along the trellising. A small paved dining terrace and greenhouse are at the far side of the garden, while a larger paved terrace runs the width of the house, connecting it to the two-roomed annexe. One room is a well-equipped utility and kitchen garden; the other a workshop - both have electric and water connected and natural light.
