New Place
William Shakespeare's houseWilliam Shakespeare did not live in Stratford (a district of London, England), he actually lived in Stratford-Upon-Avon, which is in Warwickshire.In 1597, Shakespeare purchasedNew Place, the second largest house in Stratford-Upon-Avon. The building no longer exists. However, John Shakespeare's house still exists and is said to be the birthplace of William.
It is likely that Shakespeare returned to Stratford periodically throughout the year, possibly over lent when the playhouses were closed. He bought the second largest house in Stratford and began spending more time there in 1614, when he was fifty.

By "town house" I presume you want to know the name of his house in London, as opposed to that in Stratford. His Stratford house was called New Place. But in London he mostly lived in rented accommodations and only bought a house in London toward the end of his life when he was ready to retire. It was called the Blackfriars Gatehouse.

In Stratford, Shakespeare lived in a Tudor house made of wood and plaster. There is no record of what king of houses he lived in in London, except at the end when he lived in a suite of room adjacent to Blackfriars. It was a medieval abbey, therefore stone. Toward the end he bought the second largest house in Stratford, made of brick.

Anne Hathaway died in Stratford in August 1623 - around ten years after her husband, even though he was eight years her junior. She was buried in the church there, near her husband's tomb. The Hathaways were a well-established family in the area, and Anne would have been expected to keep up the family home - New Place - the second largest house in Stratford at the time.
When Shakespeare was alive, he lived his first years in Stratford-Upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England. Before 1592 he moved to London and lived in several rented residences there.

Today, he lives on in his plays and poems, and in the hearts of actors and English teachers.
He lives in a house in Stratford-upon-avon.
Towards the end of his career, William Shakespeare bought New Place, described as the second largest house in his home town of Stratford-upon-Avon, in England.
