Homes & Antiques

REGENCY Romance

At first glance, The Grange looks like any other Regency villa, of which there are many in and around Bath; this is until you notice pale antique lace hung at every window and a rather cool-looking 1986 jet-black BMW parked out front. The prettiness of the delicate window treatment and the retro chic of the car signpost what lies within – together they encapsulate the style of owners Laura and Dan Taylor, who live here with their two young daughters and a pair of languid Burmese. ‘We are both very creative people; Dan’s outlet being his music, and the house being mine. Entering our home, you are stepping into my creativity – it’s a curated scrapbook of everything I love, from vintage fashion and ballet dresses to the faded grandeur of Château de Gudanes and the costume and interiors of Sofia Coppola’s ,’ explains Laura.
