Property Description
It's hard to know where to start with this fabulous home as the possibilities are almost endless so the best way is to walk through how the current owner has set the property up and the future owners can use that as a basis for how they would want the house to work for them.
A pretty front garden leads up to the front door and into the hallway with a downstairs cloakroom, door to the annexe and kitchen/dining and living space for the main house off. The hallway has hard flooring for ease of maintenance - ideal for muddy wellies or paws.
The kitchen/dining and living area is spacious with lots of natural light and doors out into the garden. The kitchen has cream shaker style units with an oak coloured worktop and matching oak coloured knobs topped by a very pretty blue and white brick tile splashback. There is a white ceramic sink with swan necked tap, integrated dishwasher, space for an electric cooker and a fridge freezer. The room is big enough for a refectory table as well as a soft seating area and is a wonderfully social space that is perfect for entertaining or family meals.
On the next floor is a well proportioned double bedroom decorated in very restful shades of grey/blue and white with ensuite shower room and white sanitaryware. This room is currently used for AirBnB so if you want to have an income as well as a home this one is very highly recommended by past users so you already have an established client base.
Next door is another good sized double room with built in wardrobes while the remaining bedrooms are both singles, the larger one also being used for occasional AirBnB. The smallest bedroom, currently used as a lounge for the Air BnB bedrooms, would be ideal for a home office or nursery. Alternatively, it could be transformed into a dressing room or even an ensuite for bedroom 2, giving a really lovely second ensuite bedroom which could become the principal bedroom. A family bathroom with shower over the bath completes the accommodation on this floor.
On the upper floor is a lovely 16 foot double bedroom with a small landing area outside which would be ideal for a little reading nook away from the bustle of the family home. The bedroom has eaves storage on both sides as well as three further storage areas on the landing. What is great about this house is the amount of storage. Every space where storage could be incorporated has been used, including several spaces on the stairwells. You can't have too much!
The annexe is accessed from a door in the hallway which leads into an open plan dining and living area. There is also a path at the side of the house which leads to another entrance door, making it fully self contained if necessary. There is a kitchen with space for a gas cooker and a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A dishwasher could be added by removing one of the cupboards. A door from the utility room goes out into the private, low maintenance garden.
The annexe bedroom was created by converting the garage (which has shared roof with the neighbour's garage). This has provided a good sized double bedroom with ensuite shower room. Stairs lead up to a large second floor room, currently set up as a home office. There are so many uses for this space, either as another bedroom, a games room, a workspace - the options are endless. Part of the garage has, very usefully, been maintained for storage and this is accessed from the garden.
Outside is a low maintenance garden with several seating areas to catch the sun and the gate for the off road parking which is accessed via Lynwood Road.
There are so many possibilities with this house, either returning it to one large family home or maintaining all or part of the self contained annexe for an elderly relative or for teens to have their own space. Whatever you choose to do, you will have a lovely home on one of the most favoured roads in Frome and, with off road parking, no worries about finding a space. The original floorplans in black and white can be found in this listing.
The town centre is just a short walk away down Catherine Hill and it is close to the Badcox area with a Co-Op and Morrisons Daily, the lovely Bistro and Bar Lotte, the Coop Kitchen pub and several other independent shops.
Bring your creative mind when you come to view this lovely house and see the endless opportunities it offers. The original floorplans can be seen in the Key Facts for Buyers Report to give you an idea of the previous layout.
The Local Area
Frome is a popular Somerset town which is regularly voted one of the best places to live in the South West. It is home to a very creative community of writers, artists and musicians with the music venue, The Cheese and Grain, having previous hosted a surprise gig by the Foo Fighters as well as Paul McCartney's pre-Glastonbury gig last year. It offers a variety of high street names and a large selection of independent shops and cafes, particularly on the iconic Catherine Hill which is just walking distance from the house. The town hosts a very popular independent market held on the first Sunday of every month between March and December and an Arts Festival in July. Frome was one of the first places in the country to have a Community Fridge where residents and shop owners can donate excess food to the community to prevent food waste and also set up the first Share Shop where you can borrow anything from a highchair to a garden strimmer for a small fee. There is a leisure centre with pool, several theatres, a train station with good links to London, Cardiff, Dorset and Devon and whatever your hobby or passion there is bound to be a club or society which will welcome you.
