**Situation**
Weston Road is located on the west side of the city, linking Weston village to
Royal Victoria Park and the centre of Bath. Dunedin Lodge, situated at the
west end of the road, close to The Bath Priory and Weston Park, offers a flat
walk into the city centre, or a short bus ride (approximately 1 mile).
Amenities close by in Weston include the ruh complex, a supermarket, bakery,
post office, pharmacy, cafe, and hair salons. The village is a popular
location, noted for its friendly community, and has a church, two primary
schools and a local park. There are well - regarded nurseries and schools in
both the state and independent sectors and a mainline rail link to London
Paddington (journey time approximately 90 mins) and Bristol Temple Meads
(journey time approximately 15 mins). The M4 motorway, junction 18, lies
approximately 10 miles to the north.
**Description**
Dunedin Lodge is an outstanding and impressive detached property providing a
splendid family home of generous proportions. Tucked away behind walled
gardens in this prime location, it is ideally placed to enjoy all the
convenience of city living with the added benefits of Royal Victoria Park and
The Cotswold Way close by.
Entering the house via the front door, you are immediately struck by the fine
double fronted layout and grand central hallway with reception rooms set to
either side.
On your right - hand side is a double reception room which forms a light filled
drawing room to the front of the house and a dining room facing the rear
garden. A stone fireplace makes an attractive focal point, with hand - crafted
pitch pine joinery in both rooms providing ample bookshelves and cupboards.
One of the cupboards in the dining room is a bureau which provides an
excellent drinks cabinet. Large sash windows allow light to flood in. Both
rooms, plus the study, have original herringbone parquet. There is also
original parquet in the currently carpeted hallway.
To the left side of the hall is a superb study, filled with light from the
large sash windows, which has an attractive central fireplace with cast iron
grate. Also off the hall, on the left side and to the rear of the study is
another comfortable sitting room, currently used as a snug, ideal for watching
TV.
Stairs lead down to a half - landing where you find a stylish rear porch with
large glass doors that open to the garden terrace.
The stairs continue to the lower ground floor where you find a light and airy
space with good height ceilings.
The kitchen extends from the front to the rear with a spacious dining area; it
has triple - aspect windows and French - style glass doors onto the garden
terrace. Flooring throughout this level is tiled, with underfloor heating. The
kitchen has a comprehensive range of storage with white units, granite
worktops and an island with built - in sink. There is a gas aga, as well as an
induction hob and integrated appliances. A pantry provides further storage
with fitted cupboards, integrated deep freeze and wine fridge.
The large utility room has a butler’s sink and access to the boiler and water
system, all of which was renewed in 2009. The adjoining cloakroom has a useful
storage cupboard which includes plumbing for potential use as a shower room.
There is an additional room that is currently used as a gym. The vault has
been tanked and provides a large storage space, running the width of the
house.
On the upper two floors there are five double bedrooms and three bathrooms. On
the first floor, the master bedroom suite has two large sash windows and floor
to ceiling wardrobes along one wall. The ensuite bathroom has tiled floors and
walls, a corner shower, and a bath. Two further double bedrooms both have
built - in storage and basins. Additionally, there is a second family bathroom
and separate WC.
On the second floor, there is a further bathroom and two further bedrooms,
each with built - in bookcases lining one wall. One of the bedrooms, currently
used as a study, has a box room providing spacious, walk - in storage with
plumbing.
Outside
At the front, two stone pillars frame a wrought iron gate into the walled
gardens.
A path leads through several trees towards the house where the space opens up
with a large lawn and steps up to the front door. One of the great aspects of
Dunedin Lodge is that it has large gardens to both the front and rear making
it feel very countrified, despite being in the city. The tall trees at the
front add to the feeling of seclusion.
There is access to the rear garden via wrought iron gates on both sides of the
house. At the rear, the terrace extends the width of the house, enabling easy
access from the glass doors on both lower ground and ground levels. From the
centre of the terrace, steps lead up onto the lawn, framed to either side with
deep flower borders, a mix of shrubbery and apple and silver birch trees.
The boundary is walled on all sides; the double garage and pool house forming
part of the rear boundary. A good - sized greenhouse, built in 2020, adjoins the
garage. The pool is heated by an air source heat pump. The pool area is paved
and has its own sun terrace providing a private and sunny space. The garage is
accessed here and opens onto a private road where there is also parking space
adjacent to the garage. Both the garage and pool house have electricity.
