Entire townhouse in Bath, United Kingdom

10 guests · 5 bedrooms · 7 beds · 3.5 bathrooms
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 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. 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.
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.

We partner with TRUVI to carry out secure guest ID verification, helping to ensure a safe and trusted stay for all parties. Once you have completed verification with TRUVI, your stay will be protected by Guest Guarantee and you'll benefit from an accidental damage cover.

We loved our stay here for a hen weekend. The house was comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed for a wonderful long weekend in Bath. The location couldn’t have been better; a quick walk into town and we were even able to walk back from a trip to Prior Park. The hosts were so friendly and really proactive in asking whether we had any questions ahead of our stay. Couldn’t recommend enough!
