Summary - BLAKES CHANTRY FROME BA11 3LN
Detached period cottage with four bedrooms and an office
Blakes Cottage is a spacious period family home set in the village of Chantry, offering four bedrooms, an office and generous wrap-around gardens. The extended kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the house, with contemporary cabinetry, a Smeg range-style oven, quartz worktops, an island and aluminium doors opening to a terrace and lawn — ideal for family life and entertaining. The living room retains character with exposed beams, a woodburner and three front-aspect windows.
Upstairs provides a principal bedroom with ensuite and field views, three further bedrooms, an office and a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. Practical ground-floor utility and boot rooms, ample fitted storage, a gated gravel driveway with multi-vehicle parking, single garage and large shed add everyday convenience for a family living in the countryside.
Notable considerations are factual: the property predates 1900 and has sandstone/limestone walls assumed uninsulated, double glazing installed before 2002 and an EPC rating of E. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and the property uses a shared sewage treatment plant. The exterior shows rustic character but some outdoor maintenance is needed. Council tax sits at the higher band for the area.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking village life with easy access to countryside walks and Frome's amenities. There is clear scope to improve energy efficiency and modernise parts of the house to reduce running costs and tailor spaces to current tastes. Offered freehold and chain-free, it suits families who value period character, generous outdoor space and proximity to local schools and rural routes.
