Built in 1792 by Thomas Baldwin as part of the Pulteney estate, Pitt House was once home to British Prime Min-ister William Pitt in 1802, a fact commemorated by a bronze plaque. Today, this extensively refurbished Georgian property offers a luxurious five-bedroom family residence spread over five floors. Many original features have been retained, including a superb cantilevered staircase, window shutters, decorative cornicing, tall sash win-dows, and period fireplaces. Decorated in soft, neutral shades, the house boasts high-quality fixtures and fittings such as double pile carpets, restored wooden floors, oak wardrobes, bespoke window seats, brass handles, silk curtains, electric blinds, and crystal chandeliers.
The ground floor welcomes you with a light-filled hallway, leading to a study or cloakroom with elegant fireplace and built-in cupboards. The bespoke kitchen by Clayton Davidson features stone worktops, a walnut island, ban-quet seating, and top-of-the-line appliances, while the spacious dining room accommodates a 12-seater table. The first floor houses two grand living rooms, one with a fireplace and the other with stunning views of Bath’s weir, Empire Hotel, and Parade Gardens, along with an additional study or bedroom. The master suite occupies the second floor, complete with a luxe bathroom and further bedroom, formerly a dressing room and could easily be returned to one. The third and fourth floors provide three more bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a utility room with Miele appliances.
