Victorian Annexe | Bath

The accommodation is a self-contained Annexe that was added to the main Georgian House in Victorian Times.

The first and second floors cover a very generous 82m2. The open plan living area is on the ground floor, the 2 double bedrooms are on the first floor, and these are connected by a spiral staircase. There is a large hallway and second staircase to the bathroom and toilet.

The open plan ground floor living area provides an extremely comfortable and functional space for 4 people. Entertainment is provided by a 40” HDTV and a fantastic inbuilt wood burner. A leather sofa and single armchair provide relaxing seating. For meal times there is a circular wooden table and 4 sturdy wooden chairs. There is a fully equipped kitchen with modern oven, induction hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, extractor fan, toaster and kettle.

The downstairs lighting can be adjusted to match your mood and needs. For lots of light there are the downlighters, for the early evening there is the discrete yet functional kitchen lighting and for late evening there is the warm glow from the uplighters in the middle of the room.

The space is also practical with plenty of coat hooks, boot rack, waste bin and under-sink recycling container.

Upstairs there are 2 very comfortable Vi-Spring beds with crisp white cotton bedding. The first bed is superking size and the second is a double. Both rooms have a minimalist feel and are finished with floor-length silk curtains.

The bathroom is comfortably large with the usual toilet, washbasin and large enamelled bath that houses a separate shower. For convenience the bathroom also contains a washer-dryer that can be set to wash and dry clothes overnight. Iron, ironing board and other standard equipment are contained in the ceiling high cupboard outside of the bathroom.

The Annexe has walls that are 2 feet thick and is well insulated. As part of its refurbishment, underfloor heating was fitted downstairs and efficient radiators everywhere else. There are 2 separate and fully automatic heating circuits that ensure the 2 floors of the Annexe are warm and toasty when required but not oppressively so overnight. A third circuit ensures that the floor-ceiling towel warmer does its job and keeps the bathroom especially warm at peak times.

Whilst this is a great space, the 2 staircases (without stairgates and with wide gaps between stanchions), relatively narrow access to the main entrance door would present particular challenges to those with mobility problems and potentially for families with small children. But please feel free to contact us to clarify any potential issues.
