In 1987 it was inscribed for its hot springs, Roman archaeology, Georgian architecture and natural setting, then in 2021 as one of the Great Spa Towns of Europe.

    Sir Isaac Pitman, famed for inventing the world’s most widely used shorthand system, had a revolutionary influence on the communication and education of the English language. The 5.3 acre Bath Press site was once home to Pitman's Fifth Phonetic Institute and then the Pitman Press, later becoming The Bath Press, the city's largest employer.

The finishes are incredible. The thing with most new builds is when you look around the property, there were always add-ons that aren’t included in the price but with City & Country, we could purchase knowing we would have the very best specification included.
