Rode Hill, Rode, Frome, BA11

Nestled on the edge of the charming Somerset village of Rode, this delightful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage boasts landscaped front and rear gardens, along with a versatile outbuilding. It is located within a beautiful conservation area. Stone-built and sympathetically renovated, it can be traced back to at least the early 1800s and was originally one of several Weaver's Cottages. Situated equidistant from Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, and Trowbridge, and within easy reach of Frome and Chippenham, 5 Rode Hill is a true gem that seamlessly combines village living with convenient access to nearby towns. ‘I wanted to live in a thriving village with good access to Bath. I was looking for a place with a range of amenities, a sense of community, and lovely nearby countryside to explore. Rode ticked all the right boxes,’ explains the current owner, who has added her personal touch to the interior with plantation shutters, bespoke built-in wardrobes, and high-quality blinds. The property is thoughtfully laid out, featuring a living/dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor, a spacious landing area, two double bedrooms, and a family bathroom on the first floor. The second floor boasts a generously sized bedroom with an en suite shower room. ‘It feels surprisingly spacious and bright for a property of its age, exuding character and a sense of warmth and tranquility. I cherish its privacy while being close to all the village amenities.’ Rode offers a post-office-cum-shop-and-café, a village hall, a well-regarded primary school, and two welcoming pubs, all within walking distance of the cottage.

‘The converted outbuilding is just a stone's throw from the main building. It houses the utility room and provides ample garden storage. Additionally, it boasts a studio room, perfect for use as a study or a space for teenagers.’

‘The front garden is discreetly separated from the off-road parking area, ensuring complete privacy from the driveway and road, while the smaller rear garden, accessible through patio doors or a side entrance, offers a sheltered oasis, ideal for hosting barbecues.’

‘The spacious living/dining room is a versatile space, providing warmth in the winter and a cool escape in the summer.’

‘There's an abundance of activities in the area, from cycling along the Kennet & Avon Canal from Bradford-on-Avon to Bath, to exploring the vibrant monthly Frome Independent Market.’

‘I will miss the comfortable home I've lovingly created and the wonderful village of Rode.
