Jane Austen's Bath Home — Bath, United Kingdom
About Jane Austen's Bath Home
This is the kitchen and butler's pantry of the Austen family home 1801-1804, the home where Austen chipped away at her early unfinished piece, The Watsons . Today, you'll find original flagstone, but also an anachronistic a writing desk and an ecclectic, beautiful homage to arts and letters. It's not period authenticity, but it still feels cozy to nestle into a chair to read, recessed in a nook that surely once contained the fires of a pre-industrial home, dreaming of the gothic literature craze or the fortunes of girls on the edges of high society. Here, you can stoke your regency imaginings while cooking on a 5-burner silver range of the 21rst century. Or, in another example, drift to sleep in an antique bed with 60s mod prints on the walls and tatami mats on the floors.
