Manor Farm - Cranmore near Frome

A spacious, modern detached home built 20 years ago situated in an exclusive small development within the peaceful village of West Cranmore. This charming village boasts a thriving community at its heart.

The property is accessed via a gravel driveway, offering parking for up to four cars. The front door opens into a generous hallway, complete with a convenient downstairs cloakroom. The kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, providing ample space for a dining table and additional seating. A large island with a secondary sink enhances both functionality and style. The kitchen features maple units with granite worktops, a newly reconditioned Smeg gas range cooker with extractor fan, a new Kenwood dishwasher, and tumbled limestone flooring. Double doors lead from the kitchen into the sunny rear garden. Most of the downstairs windows are fitted with made-to-measure Sanderson wooden shutters. A useful utility room with an additional sink and water softener leads directly to the double garage, perfect for extra storage or parking.

The dual-aspect sitting room, accessed from the hallway, is a tranquil space with views over the rear garden. Oak flooring and a newly installed wood burner, set in a locally sourced Doulting stone fireplace, add warmth and character. Underfloor heating features throughout the ground floor.

A solid oak staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three generous double bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms feature fitted wardrobes. The staircase continues to the top floor, revealing an impressive fourth bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, spanning the width of the house. This light and airy room benefits from four large Velux windows. All bathrooms have been tastefully renovated in recently.

Outside
There is a small gravelled front garden with a pretty side gate that leads to the rear garden. The pretty garden features a mix of decking and lawn, with a charming box hedge dividing the two areas. The lawn slopes gently down to a picturesque stream, which feeds into the village duck pond.
In 2019, both sides of the house were stripped and recoated with a protective wall coating. This innovative treatment utilises the latest technology, incorporating synthetic resins, fibre glass reinforcement, granite, and natural earth pigments. Key benefits include a 100% waterproof membrane, breathability, durability, and flexibility, with a 20-year guarantee.

Eco Credentials
Solar panels with a battery storage facility were installed in 2024, significantly reducing electricity costs during peak sunny weather.
