Deceptively spacious Grade II listed cottage with large private garden in Frome conservation area.
Grade II listed Victorian cottage with strong period features
This Grade II listed Victorian terraced cottage offers genuine period character and a surprisingly generous footprint in the heart of Frome’s conservation area. Two reception rooms and a large, light kitchen/diner open to a deep, private garden — a rare outdoor space for properties on this road. Mature features such as an inglenook fireplace, original cupboards and exposed beams give the house strong character and charm.
The layout suits a young family or couple seeking a central town location with outdoor space. The two double bedrooms include one with a vaulted ceiling and exposed beams, adding drama and usable loft volume. Practical highlights include mains gas central heating, modern double glazing and fast broadband speeds.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate upgrades or extensions. The solid sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated, and there are reported damp and high-maintenance issues typical of older properties — expect ongoing repair and conservation-sensitive work. The house sits in a higher-crime, very deprived local area profile, though it benefits from nearby schools, shops and good transport links.
Overall this is a characterful, deceptively spacious cottage with a large garden and strong renovation potential for buyers comfortable working within listed-building constraints. It will suit purchasers who value location and period detail and who can budget for sensitive maintenance and upgrading.
