Property description
SUMMARY/AGENTS NOTES 651sqft of space, a private section of garden and its own front door - this very substantial Victorian apartment will already tick a lot of boxes for residential and investor buyers alike even before you consider the extraordinarily handy location for city and Moorland Rd amenities. Occupying the entirety of the garden level of this semi-detached merchants villa the apartment enjoys bay windows to both front and rear, a large sitting room with a handy study adjacent, long kitchen, a large double bedroom, bathroom, hall and even a walk in pantry/store. Outside, the rear gardens are divided into private sections for each of the three apartments (as is the side lean to for extra storage). Double glazed sash windows throughout, gas central heating via Worcester combi boiler, white bathroom fittings and no onward chain. Sole Agents.
In the late 19th century, there was a building boom in Bath to rival the activity in the Regency period. Desirable detached and semi detached residences on the outskirts of the city centre were widely advertised in the 1880's and 1890's (taken from The History of Bath by Graham Davis & Penny Bonsall).
The houses on what is now Lower Oldfield Park are listed in Bath directories from 1882 - the address at the time was just "Oldfield Park" and covered what is now both Upper and Lower Oldfield Park. The majority of the houses were named rather than numbered - this property was called Chalcroft and neighbours included Blair Athole, Ellerslie, Rosedale, Effingham, Charnwood, Drachenfels, Cromer and Brynhyfryd.
