Grade II opført rækkehus i Bath, Somerset

I am a retired university lecturer living in Bath. I lived very happily in this house with my two children for over 10 years. They left home and I have moved in with my partner, 15 minutes walk from the house.

This is an old house and has a particular character which I fell in love with. It's full of furniture passed down through my family - a French friend said it was like walking into a doll's house (I think because of the grandfather clock and the kitchen dresser). A local historian tells me that the beams in the kitchen/sitting area show that it dates back to before the Georgian era and the house and its neighbouring houses were a work-house. It certainly seems to have undergone a number of changes with both Georgian and Victorian architectural features. The accommodation is spread over 4 floors - you don't want to forget to bring your sweater down from the attic bedroom in the morning unless you need aerobic exercise!The house backs on to a small old cemetery which is looked after by Bath Heritage Trust and has a handkerchief tree and loads of primroses and daffodils in the spring. It has a small easy-to-manage back yard with picnic table and 2 chairs, an acer in a pot and some roses - a very nice spot to sit out on a warm day. I hope you like it, too.
