This Grade II listed former weaver’s cottage on Sheppards Barton combines period character with a central Frome location. Original features such as exposed beams, sash windows and a fireplace give immediate charm, alongside a private rear courtyard and recently fitted contemporary bathroom. The property is small (approx. 603 sq ft) and arranged over three floors, with a double bedroom on the top floor and a single bedroom/study above the sitting room.
Listed building consent (Application No: 2024/0784/LBC) has been granted to reconfigure the kitchen; architectural drawings are available, easing some alteration work. However, the house does need renovation and finishing in places — the staircase and some interior work require completion. Buyers should expect works compatible with listed-status constraints.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, all mains connected, a council tax Band B (relatively cheap) and an allocated parking permit valid until February 2026. The location is highly walkable to Frome town centre, independent shops, markets and the train station, making it suitable as a weekend retreat, central home or lettable investment.
Note the setting: the area has higher-than-average crime and broader local deprivation indicators. The listed status will limit some changes and may add cost and process to works. This property will suit buyers who value character and location and are prepared for sensitive, listed-property renovation.
