Description

DESCRIPTION

The property has been thoughtfully extended and comprehensively updated by the current owners to create light-filled, versatile accommodation arranged over three floors. Finished to a high standard, the home features excellent energy efficiency with underfloor heating throughout all levels and offers a seamless blend of modern design with traditional features.

A timber-framed porch with tiled roofing leads into a welcoming entrance hall where a striking oak staircase rises to a galleried landing, setting the tone for the space and light that defines the property. The main reception room is a bright and elegant space with dual aspects, featuring a fireplace as a focal point and bifold doors opening onto the south-facing garden. A second expansive open plan living, dining and kitchen space forms the heart of the home, designed with contemporary family life in mind. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with high-quality cabinetry, attractive worktops, two integrated ovens and an induction hob, while the adjacent dining and living areas enjoy a direct connection to the garden through bifold doors, making it an exceptional space for entertaining and everyday living. A practical boot room, utility space and ground floor shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom and two further generous double bedrooms benefit from far-reaching views and are served by a beautifully appointed family shower room. The top floor has been cleverly converted to provide two additional double bedrooms, ideal for guest accommodation, a home office, or further flexible living space.

OUTSIDE

Externally, the gardens are a particular feature. Designed for both enjoyment and productivity, they include extensive lawns, a large sun terrace, and a sheltered kitchen garden area with raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, and a chicken coop. The driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial garage, complete with power, lighting and additional storage.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Mains gas and electric heating. All mains services are connected.

LOCATION

The house is a short walk from the town centre and its many independent cafés and boutique shops, including Rye Bakery, Projects Frome, Moo and Two, Frome Hardware, Little Walcot and Frome Reclamation Yard. Frome’s popularity has surged in recent years; the town is routinely named one of the best places to live in the UK, thanks to its thriving cultural scene, historic architecture, and beautiful surrounding countryside. The Frome Independent, a monthly market showcasing local artisans and food producers, has helped put Frome on the map, attracting over 80,000 visitors annually.

Transport links are also very good. A mainline railway service runs direct services from Frome to London Paddington, with a journey time of around 86 minutes. Access to the national motorway network is via the A303 (M3) and Bristol Airport is less than 30 miles away.
