This compact Victorian terraced cottage in Keyford offers a convenient, chain-free entry into Frome’s popular town centre. The house is arranged over two floors: an open-plan living room with kitchen and wood-burning stove on the ground floor, and a first-floor double bedroom with large storage cupboard and shower room. Practical benefits include freehold tenure, fast broadband, mains gas heating and very low council tax.
The property is small and suited to a single buyer or couple seeking a central location rather than expansive living space. The layout and finishes are dated: the ground floor has concrete flooring and exposed brick with an industrial stove, and ceilings are described as low. The mid-terrace’s cavity walls are noted as built without insulation (assumed) and the double glazing install date is unknown — sensible buyers should budget for improvement works.
Outside there’s a very small private courtyard with a wooden shed — low-maintenance but limited for gardening or entertaining. Transport links are good for a town location, with a station and regular buses to Bath; local amenities, pubs and markets are within easy walking distance. Neighbourhood indicators show average crime and higher area deprivation, and nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes, so check local schooling if that’s a priority.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a period pied-à-terre or a renovation project in a sought-after town centre spot. The chain-free sale and character features give immediate appeal, but buyers should account for modernization and potential insulation or glazing upgrades.
