Emmeline House is a prestigious Grade I Listed townhouse in the heart of Bath, once home to Britain's youngest Prime Minister, William Pitt the Younger. This six-bedroom residence boasts sumptuous interiors, blending old-world charm with contemporary elegance, offering an elegant and spacious stay for guests.

Located on the corner of a grand Georgian terrace and the renowned Great Pulteney Street, Emmeline House enjoys captivating views of the River Avon and Grade II listed Empire Hotel. The elegant bronze plaque commemorates the historical significance of the property, adding to its allure.

Entering through the inviting front door, guests are greeted by a sunlit open hallway featuring a splendid, cantilevered stone staircase. The ground floor boasts a multi-functional reception room, with leather tub chairs and a sophisticated round table, offering charming street views. The generous dining room on the same floor is adorned with period details, crystal chandeliers, and tall Georgian windows, creating an exquisite space for hosting gatherings. The grand bespoke kitchen, hand-built by Clayton Davidson, is a chef's dream, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and a unique walnut island with curved banquet seating.

Moving to the first floor, guests will find a spectacular living area with stunning city and countryside views. This area includes both a formal space with library chairs and a relaxed sitting area with plush sofas, creating an inviting ambience for relaxation.

The second floor houses the luxurious principal bedroom with romantic hummingbird-themed soft furnishings and an open metal-framed four-poster bed. The principal bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a freestanding bath and a well-stocked drinks trolley.

On the third floor, two more well-furnished and comfortable bedrooms await, including a twin-bedded room and a serene super king bedroom with rooftop views. Finally on the top floor, the sixth bedroom offers a contemporary layout and rooftop views, with a modern ensuite bathroom.

Emmeline House's prime location provides easy access to Bath's top attractions, including Pulteney Bridge, Holburne Museum, The Roman Baths, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath Abbey, and many more. With an excellent selection of shops, cafes, restaurants, and entertainment options nearby, families and groups can enjoy a truly memorable stay in this historic gem.
