Milton House is in a suburb of Bath called Bear Flat, about twelve minutes walk from the centre.

The Edwardian terraces leading down to the Wellsway are all named after poets Milton, Kipling, Shakespeare, Shelley, Chaucer, Byron and Longfellow - and are known locally as Poets' Corner. The area was originally the site of Holloway Farm but was developed in the late 19th/early 20th centuries, when many of the skilled workers and artisans in the industries which flourished at the time lived here.

Milton House was built for the two Misses Butler - residents of Holloway Farm - in 1899, and the adjoining shop was a dairy. The cows were driven from their pasture down Milton Avenue for milking in the cowsheds which stood where our neighbour's garages are now.

The walk into the city centre is a pleasant stroll down Holloway past the chapel of St Mary Magdalen.

Our local pub, The Bear, has a long history. The local shops include two small supermarkets, a delicatessen, a chemist, a barber, a hairdresser, two estate agents, a flower shop and the headquarters and gallery of the Royal Photographic Society, as well as the Bear pub, a bistro and an Indian restaurant.

Easy walking distance from Bath city centre.

Excellent base for excursions to Wells, Glastonbury, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Bristol, etc.
