Description

Substantial semi-detached house with superb potential in this highly sought-after location.

Requires complete renovation | 4 Beds | 2 Receps | Generous corner-plot gardens | Garage & Driveway


What we like
Let’s start with Dowding Road. It’s an attractive mix of detached and semi-detached mid-20th-century houses, evenly spaced along the road within sight of the local church and just a short walk down the hill to the village centre. Number 12 occupies a larger than average corner-plot, about 36 metres deep, about 16 metres wide at the rear, narrowing to about 13 metres at the front. Despite its current condition, the house has a lot of appeal with its private and quiet setting. It’s certainly a good enough location to create a much more expensive home and the current layout will be adequate for most households. For buyers with a larger budget, the property offers the chance to reimagine the layout, extend the accommodation and create a home of significant long-term appeal.


History & Additions
The gravelled drive sits lower to the side of the house and it leads to a detached garage (probably built 40 to 50 years ago). The house has been in the same family ownership for nearly 50 years and there is a two storey extension to the rear that looks to be the same sort of age as the garage.


Larkhall Lifestyle
Larkhall offers good schools and amenities with a range of independent shops, trendy eateries, butcher, post office, pub, co-op supermarket, The Rondo Theatre and the beautiful St Saviour's Church. It’s Bath with a village vibe.

Classic estate agency in Bath, now in our 36th year.

• High quality paper and digital brochures

• Enhanced photography and video tours

• No long-term contracts

• Accompanied viewings

For Sellers

We keep it simple by offering a 1% + VAT (1.2% inclusive of VAT) sole agency commission rate with no additional costs. Only payable on completion of the sale. Online and local advertising together with a well-positioned central Bath office provides us with a steady flow of sellers and buyers looking for homes and investments in our beautiful city. Our job is a lot more than just finding a buyer for a property and our many years of experience help to keep everyone focused and informed during the sale process.

For Buyers

We aim to provide a good selection of properties for sale to suit most budgets and if we haven't already got what you want to buy then we will do our best to find it for you. We are old Bathonians and we have many contacts. You will want to view properties at times to suit you – early mornings, lunch hours, evenings and weekends. That's not a problem. We’re not the usual ‘9 to 5’ type of estate agency and so we aim to be flexible and as helpful as possible.

Video tours

A timely walk-through video – without annoying editing gimmicks – is a great way to boost exposure when you’re selling and reduce unsuitable viewings when you’re buying. On average, we would expect between 100 and 200 views per property tour but they sometimes go much higher (20,295 is the record set in 2025 for a quirky old home with outbuildings!). How many views could your property achieve?

Furniture removal

Our removals and storage division operate from a large depot in Keynsham where we have a fleet of lorries and vans for every size of move. Removals from the largest of houses or city centre apartments all get the same great service and you don't have to sell your property with Wild & Lye to be moved by us.

Let’s go!

When you have made the decision to sell your property you won't want to wait a week or two for your estate agent to get going. Our high quality marketing brochures - with enhanced photography and floor plans - are ready to go in 48hrs. Our impressive double-fronted office on the highly visible three-way junction at the end of Bathwick Street in central Bath has a state-of-the-art illuminated window display and all marketing material is prepared in our office so that we have full control over the quality of work.
