Set on Trinity Street within Frome’s Conservation Area, this newly renovated Victorian terraced home marries period character with contemporary comfort. The generous three-storey layout delivers four double bedrooms — including a principal suite with en-suite and walk-through wardrobe — and an open-plan ground floor with a south-west facing glazed extension that floods the space with light.
A standout is the detached one-bedroom annexe in the rear courtyard, converted to modern building standards and ideal for short-term rental, longer-term income or private studio space. The paved courtyard and low-maintenance stone walls create an easy outdoor entertaining area directly off the bi-fold doors.
The property was rebuilt and upgraded to comply with modern building regulations, with double glazing and a modern mains-gas boiler serving radiators. Despite the sympathetic restoration, buyers should note the property’s period stone walls are assumed uninsulated and the plot is small, so external space is limited. The house sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average local crime statistics — important for buyers weighing resale or rental decisions.
This is a strong option for a family wanting character and space within walking distance of Frome town centre, or an investor seeking a rentable annexe and a well-presented main house that stands out after a comprehensive modernisation. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, finish and the annexe’s potential.
