Bright open-plan kitchen/living with large windows and natural light
Two well-proportioned bedrooms in a newly redecorated interior
Allocated off-street parking and well-maintained communal gardens
Long lease (~965 years); ground rent/service charge included in monthly payment
Small overall size (approx. 571 sq ft) — limited storage and living space
Electric room heaters only — lower energy efficiency and running costs concern
Area has high crime rates and significant deprivation — affects insurance/value
Chain free (no onward chain) — quicker transaction possible
This bright two-bedroom first-floor flat in Frome offers a compact, turnkey home with no onward chain — ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low entry cost. Newly redecorated throughout, the apartment combines period building character with a modern open-plan kitchen/living space and large windows that admit plenty of natural light.
Practical strengths include an allocated off-street parking space, well-kept communal gardens, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The long lease (circa 965 years) and a modest monthly payment covering ground rent, service charge and buildings insurance reduce short-term ownership uncertainty.
Important negatives are straightforward: the home is small (about 571 sq ft) and heated by electric room heaters, which can be less economical than gas. The area shows higher crime levels and significant local deprivation; buyers should budget for insurance and consider this when valuing the property. While recently updated cosmetically, the property retains basic electric heating and may need heating or energy-efficiency upgrades over time.
Overall, this low-cost, chain-free flat is a practical entry into Frome’s market — attractive for someone wanting a ready-to-move-into home or a rental with minimal initial work, provided you accept the small footprint, electric heating and local area challenges.
