Description

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.

Details

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

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.
We are available for the guest to contact us, meet and greet is arranged through Mary, whose telephone number will be provided upon booking.
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.

When booking with us your stay will be protected by a Deposit Guarantee, Guest Guarantee and public liability provided by our risk management partner, TRUVI. To benefit from this protection you will be contacted by TRUVI directly to verify yourself.
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.
