Location of Grosvenor Place in Somerset

Grosvenor Place in Bath, Somerset, England was built around 1790 by John Eveleigh. It lies on the south side of the A4 London Road and many of the houses are listed buildings.

Grosvenor House is at the end of a terrace of 42 houses (the other houses are numbered 1 to 41), with double curves to the large central house, number 23, which was formerly the Grosvenor Hotel until the 1970s and has large Ionic half columns on the 1st and 2nd floors. [1] Number 23 then became affordable The Guinness Partnership flats. [3] In 2020 ownership returned to Bath and North East Somerset Council, who will convert it to supported accommodation for former rough sleepers. [4]

Grosvenor Lodge and Grosvenor Villa are two houses attached to the eastern end of the terrace which were built slightly later. [2]

The buildings and architecture of Bath, a city in Somerset in the south west of England, reveal significant examples of the architecture of England, from the Roman Baths, to the present day. The city became a World Heritage Site in 1987, largely because of its architectural history and the way in which the city landscape draws together public and private buildings and spaces. The many examples of Palladian architecture are purposefully integrated with the urban spaces to provide "picturesque aestheticism". In 2021, the city was added to a second World Heritage Site, a group of historic spa towns across Europe known as the "Great Spas of Europe". Bath is the only entire city in Britain to achieve World Heritage status, and is a popular tourist destination.
