Spread across five floors, this handsome Georgian townhouse is a suitably opulent place to call home during your time in Bath. There are period features galore to be spotted in the high-ceilinged rooms, from fireplaces to sash windows, but what's perhaps most impressive is the way that contemporary additions have been made while fitting in with the home's rich heritage. As such, you'll find a four-poster bed, richly patterned wallpaper and a wide-ranging collection of artwork on the walls. The kitchen is a true feat of beauty too, all glossy white surfaces and eye-catching light fixtures. All this and we haven't even mentioned the lovely garden at the back of the home. Bordered by sprawling greenery, there's plenty of seating and pretty outdoor lighting, as well as a barbecue ready and waiting for when the weather allows for alfresco dinners. If the sun does make an appearance, you'll probably want to head for a wander in Royal Victoria Park, which sits less than five minutes' walk from the home. The Roman Baths in the centre of the city lie eight minutes on foot in the opposite direction, as well.
