Queen Anne period home near Bath

A more than 300-year-old riverfront stately home, Batheaston House has period charm by the bucketload, with links to two Queens of England.

The home can be found in the English city of Bath, some 100 miles west of London - which has found renewed fame as the backdrop to much of the Netflix series “Bridgerton.” And this house would be right at home in the show’s glamorous period setting.

The Queen Anne property was built in 1712 and has a Grade II* listing - the second rarest of England’s three historic building categories, which marks it as a “particularly important” building of “more than special interest,” according to Historic England.

It is a delightful residence that combines cozy grandeur with a discerning eye for modern living and feels like a country estate. However the riverfront property is just 3 miles from the city centre

Batheaston House boasts plenty of historic features throughout the home. From the fireplaces, paneling and ceiling moldings to the tall sash windows, working shutters and grand staircase.

The ground floor has four reception rooms; a south-facing drawing room with direct access to the garden terrace, a morning room, a dining room, and a courtyard room complete with a secret bar hidden behind sliding book cabinets.

The basement level is home to a kitchen and pantry with a huge stone fireplace and a 12-seater cinema.

Upstairs, on the first floor there are three paneled bedrooms, with en suit and shared bathroom facilities. There are three more bedrooms on the top floor, also with en suit and shared bathroom facilities.

Outside, there are courtyards, a terrace, a hot tub, a greenhouse, a potting shed and a lawn that leads right down to the River Avon.

Plus a coach house with space for parking and a one-bedroom annex - The Colonel - that can be booked separately or in addition to the main house.
