Jane Austen's Family Home from 1801 to 1805 | Apartment in Bath
2 Bedroom Apartment in Bath
Sit at a wooden desk and summon the writer's muse at Jane Austen's family home from 1801 to 1805.
In this immaculately maintained and lovingly restored apartment, walls teem with artwork and shelves overflow with curious objects. Original flagstone floors in spacious rooms lead to a light and airy kitchen overlooking the rose-filled courtyard.
From heated mirrors to surround sound, this award-winning space, furnished with an eclectic mix of new and old, does not compromise on comfort.
The space
Situated directly across the road from the world-famous Holburne Museum and Georgian Vauxhall (Pleasure Garden) at Sydney Gardens, Jane Austen's home in Bath is located in a Grade I listed 1794 Georgian townhouse. In this house, Jane started work on her early and unfinished novella, "The Watsons".
The apartment was once the kitchen and butler's pantry of the Austen home, and provides spacious accommodation in rooms packed with original Georgian features, from panelled walls to vast kitchen fireplaces, with a private entrance and front and rear courtyards.
The kitchen is stocked with good quality pots, pans, cutlery (silverware), glasses and crockery, and has a five burner Mercury range for the chefs in all of us. There is, of course, a dishwasher, a coffee machine, a fridge and a freezer - and a sink overlooking a rose-filled and sunny courtyard. Also within the apartment are a high capacity washing machine and tumble-drier.
The living room, which was the kitchen of the house, has a large chaise-style sofa, several ridiculously comfortable victorian armchairs, a William IV Indian Rosewood dining table and sideboard, a printer and monitor for those who just *have* to work, and a 55" television with surround sound system. It features original Georgian panelling, window shutters, flagstone floor and kitchen range.
The master bedroom was once the Butler's Pantry, and has a 1920's mens' wardrobe for your stylish attire, a 19th century Louis XIV double bed, and overlooks the quiet rear courtyard.
The rear bedroom, or "map room", offers a single authentic Japanese futon on tatami mats and wardrobe for clothing, and also overlooks the rear courtyard.
The bathroom has been newly refitted and includes a luxurious rainfall shower, underfloor heating, a heated mirror, and toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
The front and rear courtyards both offer seating and sunshine.
Guest access
You will have full access to the entire apartment and both front and rear courtyards, which are exclusively for the use of the apartment.
