You'll find this handsome villa standing proudly in the well-heeled residential district of Bathwick. Commanding incredible views of the city of Bath, just a twenty-minute walk away, it's easy to see why this neighbourhood is so sought-after. But don't be deceived by the typically Georgian façade of this home. Inside, unexpected bursts of colour and curiosities add layers of warmth and a joyful atmosphere. Upstairs, it's a more muted affair with cosy, cream-hued serene bedrooms that allow those city vistas to speak for themselves. By day, come together around the long dining table for memorable breakfast times beneath the high vaulted ceilings – there's room for you all. Then pad out into the garden and find a sunny spot to savour that second coffee (you are on holiday, after all) while kids let off steam (there's a trampoline and netball hoop to keep them busy). At dusk, climb the winding staircase to the impressive roof terrace to fire up the barbecue and watch Bath's lights begin to twinkle in the distance. In winter months, spill out into the large sitting room for movie nights and a cheeky cocktail – there's a bar stocked with spirits from all around the world. When it's time to spread your wings, mosey down to the centre of Bath, or jump in the car, and you'll be there in six minutes flat.
