About Property

Discover the splendor of the Jane Austen era at 'Founders House', a beautiful Georgian townhouse in Bath, Somerset. Built circa 1744 by the founders of the city, John Wood the Elder and James Leake, this elegant yet comfortable residence blends restored period features with all the modern comforts you need across five expansive floors.

The property is designed for group gatherings, featuring 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms that can accommodate up to 10 guests. The sleeping arrangements are spread across three levels: two bedrooms on the first floor each with two single beds, one bedroom on the second floor with two single beds, and two bedrooms on the third floor each equipped with a small double bed. Every bed is paired with new mattresses, pillows, and fresh white bedding to ensure a restful stay.

Inside, the double-fronted home retains a wealth of historic character, including original panelled walls, high ceilings, a walnut winding staircase, beams, and fireplaces with an exposed brick chimney hearth. For relaxation, the newly decorated living room offers a welcoming corner sofa and an open gas fire. A versatile parlour room provides additional space for reading, using the vinyl record player, or as a playroom for children.

Downstairs, the large oak kitchen and dining area serves as the heart of the home, featuring a breakfast bar and a large oak dining table that seats 8. The space is equipped with a 4-ring ceramic hob, oven, fridge, and microwave, alongside a full range of cooking equipment.
