Summary - 9A STONY STREET FROME BA11 1BU
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Grade II listed — restrictions and possible maintenance complications
Set on a corner of Stony Street beneath St Catherine Hill, this recently refurbished two-bedroom flat combines Georgian proportions with contemporary touches. High ceilings, original floorboards, an ornate ceiling rose and a new wood-burning stove give the living room strong period character and guest appeal. The kitchen is neatly fitted with solid wood worktops and integrated appliances; the bathroom has been upgraded with marble-effect tiles and quality fittings.
Currently run successfully as a self-catering holiday let, the flat is offered chain-free and comes with a share of freehold. Recent upgrades include a new eco hot water system and electric night storage heaters, reducing immediate maintenance needs and supporting short-let operation. Its central position places shops, cafes and transport on the doorstep, a clear convenience for guests or renters.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status, which will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance or extension plans. Broadband speeds are very slow and the property relies on electric heating, which may affect running costs and appeal for longer-term tenants. The area records higher crime levels and the building shows signs of potential damp on upper floors typical of corner-period properties. EPC rating E and traditional limestone walls (likely uninsulated) reflect the building’s age and fabric.
This home suits an investor or buyer seeking a characterful, low-maintenance income property in the centre of Frome, or someone wanting a compact town base with strong short-let potential. It offers immediate occupancy and little initial work, but buyers should budget for listed-building care, potential insulation improvements, and internet upgrades if long-term letting or homeworking is required.
