Spacious & Homely Georgian Town House Central Bath

Summary:

CURATED PROPERTY PRESENTS: Built in c.1744 our beautiful 8 bed Georgian Town House, 'Founders House', teams lovely period features with all the modern comforts you need across all 5 floors. Located in the old orchards of Bath Abbey our townhouse is in the middle of town but enjoys a bit of peace and quiet being tucked away on a central cul-de-sac.



The Space:

Elegant yet comfortable Georgian house built in c.1744 by the founders of Bath (John Wood the Elder & James Leake). We have restored many of the original period features and furnishings whilst blending modern touches.



The double-fronted house retains original panelled walls, high ceilings, walnut winding staircase, exposed brick chimney hearth, beams and fireplaces. Founders House gives you a sense of the splendour enjoyed in the Jane Austen era, without sacrificing modern luxuries.



Bedrooms



Our house easily sleeps 10 people, in 5 bedrooms over 3 of the 5 floors:

- Bedroom 1 (1st floor) 2x single beds

- Bedroom 2 (1st floor) 2x single beds

- Bedroom 3 (2nd floor) 2x single beds

- Bedroom 4 (3rd floor) 1x small double bed

- Bedroom 5 (3rd floor) 1x small double bed



However, there is room for more guests up to 11 as extra beds can be made up in the parlour or other bedrooms (as suits you best for a small extra charge).



All the beds are very comfortable with new mattresses, pillows, fresh white bedding & 2x towels provided for each guest.



Bathrooms



There are 4 bathrooms in the house:

- 1x en-suite with shower (1st floor)

- 1x bathroom with bathtub & shower (2nd floor)

- 1x bathroom with bathtub & shower (2nd floor)

- 1x toilet (lower ground floor)



Relaxing / Entertaining



The newly decorated living room space with its corner sofa and open gas fire is very welcoming and is great for relaxing or playing games with friends and family.



Across the hall is our parlour room, which is a really versatile space which you can use for reading, listening to music with our vinyl record player, as a kids playroom, extra bedroom or store additional luggage etc.



Kitchen / Dining Room



Downstairs is a large oak kitchen / dining area where we spend most of our time. There is a 4 ring ceramic hob & oven, fridge, microwave, etc. There is also a full range of cooking equipment to make dinners for the whole group if you are not dining out nearby. The Kitchen also has the added benefit of a breakfast bar and large oak dining table for 8. Please note the AGA is for decorative purposes only.



The all important tea, coffee and sugar are also in the house for you, along with salt, pepper and oil.



We hope you will be relaxing during your stay but we also have a washing machine, iron & ironing board which you are welcome to use. There are several hairdryers, soaps, shower gels etc in the house too.



Entertainment & WiFi



The house has wifi, TV, BBC iPlayer etc. There is also a DVD player, boardgames, books and a radio.



Guest Access:

You have exclusive access to all 5 floors of the house and there are a couple of sets of keys to let you come and go as you please. You will be greeted on the day by our lovely housekeeper Mary, who lives two doors down and knows the house inside out.



The Neighborhood:

Location, location, location...our house is very central. All of Bath's beauty can be enjoyed as soon as you step outside. Turn right and in 2 minutes you reach the river and Royal Parade Gardens. Turn left and within 1 minute you are at the start of the shopping district. Turn either way and you will be at Bath Abbey and Roman Spa in minutes! You can even see the Bath Abbey Spires just a few streets along from the top floor of our house.



Getting Around:

Very easy and close access to train and bus links. Bath railway station with connections to most of the UK is a 2 minute walk away and the coach station is a 5 minute walk away. Parking for several hours or days is available in Southgate Car Park (electric charging points available) or Manvers Street Car Park. Both of which are a 2 minute walk. You can easily unload your car outside our house too being on a quiet cul-de-sac. Park & Ride options are also available to get into the City of Bath.



Other Things to Note:

The dining table is only capable of seating 8.



Given the size and age of the home the hot water system does struggle to cope if all 3 showers are used to once.
