Deceptively spacious, this attractive four storey period home enjoys well proportioned and flexible living accommodation and enclosed gardens, just a 7 minute walk from the Town Centre.

Dating back to the 18th century, this handsome four-storey period residence occupies an enviable position within one of Frome’s most historic and sought-after settings, just a short stroll from the vibrant town centre. Formerly part of the prestigious Longleat Estate, the property is steeped in heritage and showcases an abundance of original character alongside thoughtfully arranged accommodation.

Offering exceptional versatility, the generous and well-proportioned living space is ideally suited to a growing family, multi-generational living, or those seeking a home with income-generating potential.

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, providing access to the principal ground-floor rooms while a staircase rises to the upper levels. To the front of the house, the elegant sitting room is rich in period charm, featuring high ceilings and a striking wood-burning stove as its focal point. Overlooking the gardens, the substantial dining room offers wonderful flexibility and could equally serve as a ground-floor bedroom for dependent relatives or guest accommodation. Completing this level is a well-appointed galley kitchen and a contemporary shower room.

Beneath the house, a spacious cellar provides excellent storage and is currently utilised as a practical utility area.

The first floor hosts three generously sized bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, alongside a well-appointed family bathroom.

A beautiful spiral staircase leads to what is undoubtedly one of the property's most impressive features: a stunning upper-floor living space currently arranged as an open-plan kitchen and dining area, complemented by a separate reception room. The bespoke kitchen is fitted to a high standard with a comprehensive range of cabinetry, integrated appliances, and a breakfast bar, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The adjoining sitting room is flooded with natural light thanks to its dual-aspect outlook, offering far-reaching views and a wonderfully airy atmosphere. Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, a gated garden and pathway provide an attractive approach, while the rear gardens offer a private and peaceful retreat. Designed for ease of maintenance, the gardens are also remarkably productive, with established fruit trees including cherry, apple, and blackberry. Tucked away in the far corner is a delightful former wash house, constructed of natural stone beneath a slate roof, presenting exciting potential as a studio, home office, or creative workspace (subject to any necessary consents).

Perfectly positioned within easy walking distance of Frome's thriving town centre, the property enjoys immediate access to an eclectic mix of independent cafés, artisan bakeries, boutique retailers, and renowned local businesses. Highlights include Rye Bakery, Projects Frome, Moo and Two, Frome Hardware, Little Walcot, and the celebrated Frome Reclamation Yard. Consistently recognised as one of the UK's most desirable places to live, Frome is admired for its rich architectural heritage, vibrant cultural scene, and beautiful surrounding countryside. The renowned Frome Independent Market attracts thousands of visitors throughout the year, further enhancing the town's reputation as a creative and dynamic destination. Excellent transport connections add to the appeal, with Frome railway station providing direct services to London Paddington in approximately 86 minutes. The A303 offers convenient access to the national motorway network, while Bristol Airport is less than 30 miles away, making the property ideally placed for both commuting and travel.
