Summary - CASTLE LODGE MURTRY FROME BA11 2PB
3 bed 1 bath Character Property
Renovated historic lodge on c.2 acres — private country living near Frome.
Grade II listed character lodge with Gothic Revival features
This Grade II listed gate lodge sits on the edge of Orchardleigh estate, recently and sympathetically renovated to retain period charm while providing modern comforts. The house offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, a generous 18ft lounge with original mullioned windows and shutters, and a fitted kitchen/dining room with new units and integrated appliances. Set within approximately two acres of mature gardens, woodland and a gravel drive, the setting provides privacy and a strong rural character just minutes from Frome.
The property is essentially move-in ready following its renovation, with new kitchen fittings, bathroom and upgraded services where visible. The large plot presents rare outside space for country living — ideal for family gardens, informal grazing, or simply enjoying the mature trees and pergola area. Off-street parking and a separate utility room add everyday practicality.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building: any alterations will require listed-building consent and may restrict extension or redevelopment options. The house has a single family bathroom, which may feel limiting for a three-bedroom home. Council tax is above average and, while the property has substantial land, its listed status will influence planning and maintenance approaches.
Overall this detached lodge will suit buyers seeking a characterful, private rural home close to Frome’s amenities — families or downsizers wanting a historic house with significant grounds — who are comfortable with the responsibilities and constraints of a listed property.
