4 DESCRIPTION 18 Russell Street stands on the corner of one of Bath s most notable streets, set off The Circus and opposite the Assembly Rooms. Whilst various works have been carried out to provide comfortable modern day living, this fine, elegant house has retained its original charm and character with features including working shutters, ornate fireplaces, fine cornices, plaster ceiling roses, as well as a rare whistle pipe system from upper levels to lower level, a Georgian rainwater collecting tank for an upper floor WC and a Georgian basin. There is a very rare sauce stove in the original kitchen, similar to that at Hampton Court. The three principle rooms are really magnificent. The drawing room, sitting room and family room are very impressive with dual aspect, high ceilings and wonderful levels of light. There are 5 bedrooms in total, with the option of an additional bedroom on the lower ground floor. Bathrooms can be found on 3 of the levels.

A further set of wedding doors lead into the kitchen/dining room with its variety of fitted units and stylish central island.
