This two-bedroom second-floor apartment offers contemporary, low-maintenance living with thoughtfully specified finishes and outdoor space. The bright open-plan reception and fitted kitchen open onto a private roof terrace with far-reaching views over communal gardens and fields — ideal for relaxed evenings or entertaining. Integrated appliances, Caesarstone worktops and under-unit LED lighting give the interior a modern, high-quality feel.
Built in 2023, the home benefits from a very long lease (995 years remaining) and remaining years on the new-build warranty, plus an allocated off-street parking space and communal EV charging. Practical extras include a secure intercom entry, built-in storage, heated towel rails and mains gas central heating, making this an easy, energy-efficient place to live.
The apartment suits first-time buyers or professionals seeking a move-in-ready property close to Frome’s cultural centre and good road and rail links. It also has straightforward investment appeal thanks to low running costs and modern specification, though purchasers should check current rental demand and returns if buying as a let.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the development sits in an area flagged for deprivation and some local primary schools have poor Ofsted ratings, which may concern families with young children. Annual costs include a service charge (£901.13) and ground rent (£186), both payable in addition to council tax. The property is leasehold, so buyers should review the lease and management arrangements before committing.
