Summary - 17, PAUL STREET, FROME BA11 1DT
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large period townhouse with garden and mixed-use potential close to Frome’s high street.
South-west facing garden and top sun terrace
A rare period mid-terrace on Paul Street offering clear mixed-use and refurbishment potential. The property includes a ground-floor workshop/shopfront and a one-bedroom maisonette above, making it attractive to investors or buyers seeking an income stream once planning consent is obtained. Its central position parallel to Catherine Hill places it within easy walking distance of Frome’s independent shops, cafes and transport links.
Internally the house retains strong character: geometric wooden floor inlay, a handcrafted spiral staircase, original stone façade and an evocative mural-covered former workshop. Accommodation currently provides two bedrooms, a living room with wood-burning stove, kitchen, bathroom and a south-west facing garden arranged over terraced beds and a sun terrace — useful for rental appeal or a more ambitious residential conversion.
Important practical points are straightforward. The property needs renovation throughout and any change to mixed commercial/residential use requires a council application. Broadband speeds are very slow locally and the wider area records higher crime and deprivation levels — factors that may affect some tenant or buyer profiles. On the positive side it is freehold, has mains gas heating, excellent mobile signal and very low council tax.
This is a project property with character and flexibility: suitable for an investor or buyer who can manage refurbishment and planning work to unlock workshop/shop income and improved living space. Viewings are recommended to assess scope and potential.
