A characterful one-bedroom flat tucked on a cobbled street in central Frome, this compact home combines period charm with a useful private courtyard. The open-plan lounge and kitchen creates a sociable living space, while a versatile second room offers a home office, studio or occasional guest space with direct courtyard access.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (979 years), low ground rent and a below-average service charge, making this an affordable leasehold purchase or rental investment. The property is a short walk from shops, cafes and public transport, putting everyday amenities on the doorstep.
Buyers should note some material negatives: heating is by electric room heaters and the building appears to have solid brick walls with no cavity insulation (assumed), so running costs and comfort levels may be higher than modern homes. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The immediate area has higher crime and deprivation indicators, which may affect desirability for some purchasers.
Overall this flat suits a first-time buyer or investor who values central location, character and outdoor space, and who is comfortable with modest energy performance and potential retrofit or updating to improve comfort and connectivity.
