Description
South Lawn is a magnificent Victorian family home, full of charm and original
features, that has been a much - loved family home for the current owners for
almost 35 years. This delightfully elegant property is unlisted, sitting
within a significant plot, set back from the roadside with large front and
rear gardens, off street parking, garage and a swimming pool.
Arranged over four floors, the property is semi - detached with ashlar limestone
façade and attractive fenestration on three sides. The property has been
extended significantly in the past and has the benefit of a large two storey,
limestone - built extension to the rear which houses the generous eat - in kitchen
on the ground floor and a guest suite on the half landing to the first floor.
The ground floor has an abundance of charm, with a delightful and bright
entrance hall with tall ceilings and original cornicework that leads from the
front door to the ornate and imposing staircase in the centre of the house.
Two reception rooms are situated on this floor, including a large dining room
with French doors out to the garden, and a delightful 21ft drawing room,
filled with natural light, facing south with three large sash windows
overlooking the front garden. The kitchen is a particularly charming and
spacious room, with a gas - fired aga, built in units and views of the rear
garden.
The bedroom accommodation is well arranged over the first and second floors
with all rooms enjoying generous proportions and attractive views of the
surroundings. A self - contained guest suite is located on the half landing to
the first floor, with a newly installed bathroom. The first floor provides
three bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with en suite shower room and
a separate WC. A further two bedrooms and bathroom are located on the top
floor as well as plenty of under eaves storage.
The lower floor of the house provides a large and light - filled sitting/family
room, with views over the front garden, and a collection of useful rooms,
including a utility room, stores and cellar. There is also stepped access to
the rear garden from this floor.
Outside
South Lawn is a highly impressive property, set back from the roadside in
private and mature grounds. A gravel driveway leads from the road, past the
front garden to off street parking at the front and side of the property. The
driveway continues through a vehicular gate up the side of the rear garden to
a single garage located at the rear of the plot.
The rear garden is largely laid to lawn, with mature trees and borders
providing excellent privacy and areas of interest, and a large patio located
close to the house. Hidden from sight towards the rear of the garden is a
heated swimming pool, surrounded by mature hedging.
Location
College Road is ideally positioned between town and country, with easy access
to the Georgian city of Bath as well as rural walks and neighbouring
countryside. Bath is a World Heritage Site famed for its Roman heritage and
Georgian architecture that offers a wide variety of cultural, leisure, sports
and shopping facilities. There are excellent schools in both the state and
private sector with Kingswood, The Royal High and St Stephen’s Primary School
all within close proximity. Bath benefits from a mainline rail link to London
Paddington (journey time approx. 75 mins) and Bristol Temple Meads (journey
time approx. 15 mins). Junction 18 of the M4 is approximately 11 miles north.
