Jane Austen at Number 13

Writing to her sister Cassandra in May 1799, a 23-year-old Jane Austen called the prospect from the drawing-room window here "rather picturesque", around the time she was at work on the novel that became Northanger Abbey. Today the drawing room has three tall sash windows looking into the trees of Queen Square, a marble fireplace, and folding shutters either side of the glass.

The hall runs back to the staircase through an arched fanlight, with dark boards and a long runner underfoot. The shower room pairs large stone-coloured tiles with a walk-in shower, brass fittings and a floating timber vanity, and a bedroom with a blue velvet headboard and its own fireplace looks out across the rooftops of Bath.
