About this house rental
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 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.
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.
When booking with us your stay will be protected by a Deposit Guarantee, Guest Guarantee and public liability provided by our risk management partner, SUPERHOG. To benefit from this protection you will be contacted by SUPERH0G directly to verify yourself.
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.

While we enjoyed our stay...Check-in needs work - information on how to use appliances, heating, showers etc was non existent as was trying to reach anyone for assistance. Shower was either ice cold or scalding hot. Positive note great location.
5.0
Property is right in the heart of Bath, steps from the Abby, Roman baths, restaurants, shopping. 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.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great house and comfortable beds.
5.0
The house is located right in the heart of Bath. It is very spacious and full of little touches that make the stay seem personal. There are games in the living room, lots of lovely dishes in the kitchen and comfortable bedrooms and baths. We were a group of two adults and two children (11 and 12) but the house could have hosted perhaps 10 people. If we return to Bath, we love to stay here again.

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.
5.0
We had a lovely stay in this property. It is spacious and yet has a very warm, family feel about it. It has been updated to keep the charm of the early property well.
