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. 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. 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. Interaction with Guests: We are available for the guest to contact us, meet and greet is arranged through Mary, whose telephone number will be provided upon booking. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Unit size: 2,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/105000000/104120000/104116400/104116350/7b518b6e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunning, Bath Townhouse, City Centre (AS) Bathwick - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Microwave 10 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $1,081 CA $1,277 total includes taxes & fees Nov 1 - Nov 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=104116350&PinnedHotelID=104116350&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117800000/117796300/117796285/94092a21.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Queen Anne period home near Bath Batheaston - Hot tub - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=117796285&PinnedHotelID=117796285&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![4 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, travel crib, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33610000/33603000/33602905/w1192h944x0y8-5fac7973.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous, Georgian Townhouse- Central Bath (PP) Bath City Centre - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Microwave 9.0 Wonderful 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=33602905&PinnedHotelID=33602905&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113530000/113525100/113525029/2f8b7d98.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lady Margaret's Georgian Townhouse in the Heart of Historic Bath Upper Town - Washer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=113525029&PinnedHotelID=113525029&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33420000/33415800/33415787/ec954517.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Luxury Georgian Townhouse in the heart of Bath Bath City Centre - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-09&endDate=2025-11-10&selected=33415787&PinnedHotelID=33415787&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95710000/95709400/95709322/0b2097a3_edited_8661.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Admirals House - Central Bath & Free Parking!

Unfortunately, the property management didn’t realize that there was a heatwave in the forecast and when we got to our apartment they hadn’t closed the drapes and the unit was an oven when we entered. They eventually purchased fans for the bedrooms. Many of the windows did not open.. Beds were comfy , but sofa needs to be replaced, very old.. ##### Ginny D.

We did quite a bit of cooking and there is a market not more than 5 min walk away. The house is spacious on multiple levels. Interior is older but consider that to be “character/charm”. Property owner was good to work with/responsive. End of the day, key standout was where the property is situated. Location could not be beat. ##### Kendall S.

This property is a very old house built in 1744 and retains all of that character. Spread over five floors there room for everyone in our party of seven. We wanted somewhere in central Bath so my kids could walk everywhere and spend their time learning about where their dad comes from. We were conveniently located to where we could visit with my remaining family and friends in some surrounding villages. For anyone spending a few days in Bath and want to experience its history and charm without driving anywhere, this is the place for you. A fantastic time was had by all. ##### John K.
