Set on the rural edge of Frome, this thoughtfully extended five-bedroom detached house combines recent high-quality renovation with flexible family living across three floors. Underfloor heating throughout and double glazing improve energy efficiency and comfort, while bespoke kitchen fittings and bright, dual-aspect reception rooms create generous everyday living and entertaining spaces. South-facing bifold doors bring the landscaped garden and far-reaching views into the heart of the home.
The plot of roughly one-third of an acre is a standout feature: extensive lawns, a sun terrace, raised vegetable beds, greenhouse and chicken coop offer productive gardening and outdoor freedom for children and pets. Ample parking and a substantial tandem garage with power and lighting provide practical storage and vehicle space for a busy household.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward. There are only two bathrooms to serve five bedrooms, which may prompt daytime congestion for larger families. Council tax is expensive; prospective buyers should budget accordingly. Local school inspection outcomes are mixed, so buyers with school-age children should check individual catchments and current Ofsted reports.
Location balances country tranquillity with convenience: the house is a short walk from Frome’s independent shops, cafés and markets, and benefits from good rail and road links to larger centres. For families seeking a renovated, energy-efficient home with a large garden and flexible living, this property offers immediate comfort and long-term potential.
