Chain-free Victorian cottage with garden and character, ideal for first-time buyers willing to modernise..
Three bedrooms, two doubles
A compact three-bedroom period cottage in Frome’s conservation area, offered chain free and ready for a new owner to personalise. The house retains handsome period features, sash windows and a sitting room with a working wood-burning stove that creates a cosy focal point through the colder months.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors and totals about 672 sq ft: sitting room, kitchen/diner, ground-floor bathroom and three bedrooms upstairs (two doubles). Outside is a surprisingly good-size rear cottage garden with lawn and patio — rare for a small plot and useful for outdoor living and storage.
Practical points: the property is freehold with no flood risk, inexpensive council tax and good local transport links into Bath and surrounding towns. It does require some modernization and updating throughout, and there is only one small bathroom. Being in a conservation area may restrict some external alterations. Local schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes, and the wider area records higher levels of deprivation.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or small family who value character, a private garden and proximity to the town centre, and who are happy to invest time and budget into cosmetic and practical improvements.
