A compact three-bedroom period cottage in central Frome, arranged over three floors and sold chain free. The ground floor offers an open-plan living room and kitchen with exposed beams, oak worktops and a wood-burning stove — a cosy, characterful space for daily living. The property’s small footprint and traditional layout create a warm, intimate home rather than a family-sized house.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, with a third bedroom on the second floor that benefits from twin-aspect windows and built-in storage tucked behind the stairwell. The cottage retains many period features and will appeal to buyers who value historic character and quirky layout solutions. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; double glazing is already installed.
Outside is a very small courtyard garden with paving, raised beds and a wooden shed. The garden is currently overgrown and will require maintenance or reworking to become low-maintenance outdoor space. The location is a key asset — around a ten-minute walk to Frome town centre, buses and local amenities.
Important practical points: the house is small (678 sq ft), sits on a very small plot, and is constructed of uninsulated stone walls (period construction). The neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation and recorded higher crime levels, which may concern some buyers. The property is chain free but will suit buyers prepared for modest-scale renovation and typical maintenance for a pre-1900 stone cottage.
