Situated in Bath, Wiltshire, this charming Georgian terraced house offers a unique blend of historical significance and modern amenities, accommodating up to seven guests. Once the residence of Reverend William Jay, a prominent nonconformist minister in the early 19th century, the property is a Grade II listed building that retains original features, such as period furniture, fireplaces, and sash windows. The two double bedrooms provide spacious, light-filled retreats, with views over the Avon valley, while a versatile room serves as both a living area and an additional sleeping space with a day bed that converts into two singles.
The house is designed with family needs in mind, welcoming young families and offering a travel cot upon request. Guests will find two bathrooms equipped with both a bath and shower, alongside a well-equipped kitchen for meal preparation. For those who prefer a hassle-free start to their day, breakfast can be provided for a nominal fee, served in a designated area of the house. While the owners reside in the same building, the guest accommodations on the first and second floors are largely self-contained, ensuring privacy despite shared living quarters.
Conveniently located, the property provides easy access to the M4 motorway and offers free on-street parking. A short 20-minute stroll leads guests to Bath city center, where they can explore renowned attractions like the Roman Baths, Thermae Bath Spa, and the Royal Crescent. The Bath Spa train and bus station is approximately 30 minutes away on foot, enhancing the accessibility of the region. For those preferring not to walk, a bus stop conveniently located outside the house offers direct routes into town.
The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty nearby, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, recreational sites such as the Recreation Ground and Thermae Bath Spa are within reach. For sports fans, events at Bath Rugby Stadium or Twerton Park provide exciting entertainment options. Guests can also enjoy picturesque walking routes, including the scenic canal tow-path, which leads to notable landmarks like Sydney Gardens and Pulteney Bridge, making it an ideal setting for leisurely activities or morning jogs.
