A charming period stone cottage on the edge of Frome, this two-double-bedroom home sits on a generous, level plot with mature shrubs and lawns. The house retains rustic character and offers two reception rooms, traditional features and outbuildings including two stone sheds and a large timber store with light and power.
The property is offered chain free and has enormous potential for someone wanting to remodel and personalise. It requires comprehensive updating throughout — expect modernisation of kitchen, bathroom, decoration and likely electrical and insulation works. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators; glazing is double but fitted before 2002.
Practical positives include a driveway with parking for several vehicles, freehold tenure, no flood risk, and excellent mobile signal. Drawbacks to budget for include very slow broadband, uninsulated stone walls (assumed), and the general renovation works needed to bring the cottage up to modern standards.
Set in a quiet country lane with easy access to Frome’s shops, cafés and transport (train station and buses to Bath), the cottage will suit a buyer seeking character, garden space and scope to create a comfortable, reconfigured home in a prosperous rural setting.
