8b Willow Vale is a charming three-bedroom home, quietly tucked away within a private courtyard setting, just a short distance from the centre of Frome. Forming part of a characterful conversion of former workers’ cottages and outbuildings, the property sits within a unique and well-established enclave, offering both privacy and a strong sense of community.
The approach is via a small shared courtyard, predominantly laid to gravel, creating an attractive and informal setting. The property itself enjoys a discreet position, with the front door set within a sheltered recess, providing a practical and welcoming entrance space with room for seating and storage.
Internally, the house is well presented throughout and combines period character with modern convenience. Features include traditional-style radiators and oak internal doors, contributing to a cohesive and considered finish.
The front door opens into the heart of the cottage, with thick set stone cottage deep recessed windows to your left , stairs to the right and kitchen/dining room straight ahead. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, together with integrated appliances. Flooring transitions from solid wood in the kitchen area to painted concrete within the dining space, where a floor-to-ceiling window and glazed door provide plentiful natural light and direct access to the courtyard garden.
A door leads through to the living room, a comfortable space with French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard, allowing light to flow through the room.
On the first floor there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage and window shutters. These are served by the bathroom, along with a separate WC with washer/dryer and built-in storage.
The top floor offers a particularly impressive space housing the master bedroom, set within the eaves, and enjoying Velux windows with views towards the vale, creating a light and private retreat.
Externally, the property benefits from a highly attractive and secluded courtyard garden. Stone steps lead down to this enclosed space, which has been thoughtfully arranged with decorative tiled flooring, planted borders, mature shrubs and climbing plants and a small stone outbuilding. The garden offers a peaceful and low-maintenance outdoor area.
A notable additional feature is the substantial stone-built garage, accessed via double doors, which has been converted to provide a useful studio space complete with plentiful storage above and a composting WC.
The property is move in ready. It offers a balance of character and practicality, making it well suited as a primary residence, second home or investment opportunity.
