Description

4 Lower Kingsdown Road is a detached home standing in a large sloping site which has fallen into disrepair and requires massive improvements.

Our clients have engaged the expertise of the award winning firm of architects Aaron Evans of Gay Street, Bath (PL/2021/04209).

Planning permission has been obtained to demolish the existing dwelling and erect a contemporary designed house which cleverly takes full advantage of the sloping site.

Planning permission has been granted to replace the existing dwelling with a new light, bright detached 4/5 bedroom house.

The ground floor (subject to variation) will consist of a galleried reception hall, cloakroom, spacious living/dining/kitchen space, sitting room/snug and bedroom 5 with en suite. The first floor will include a galleried landing area, master bedroom with en suite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
