This mid-terrace Victorian cottage offers a compact, characterful home close to Frome town centre, ready for a first-time buyer to personalise. The sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a kitchen/diner provide practical living space across two floors, while the surprisingly large rear garden adds outdoor space seldom found with similar-sized terraces.
Practical positives include three bedrooms (two doubles), fast broadband, low local crime and a cheap council tax band. The property is chain-free, so a swift move is possible for buyers who want to avoid a prolonged sale process.
Buyers should note this is a small property (approximately 743 sq ft) that requires some updating. Heating is via electric storage heaters, the stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the double glazing was installed before 2002. Being in a conservation area may limit exterior alterations. Plumbing, heating and electrical systems have not been tested and should be surveyed as part of any purchase.
Location is a strong draw: an established conservation road within easy walking distance of shops, pubs and transport links, including a train station and buses to Bath. Local primary schools are mixed in Ofsted results; parents should check school places if that is a priority. Overall, this cottage suits a buyer seeking period charm, outside space and scope to add value through sensitive refurbishment.
