Sheppards Barton, Frome, BA11 1EL

Upon entering from the cobbles of Sheppards Barton, you're welcomed into a handy hallway that buffers entry to the dining room. Originally the only living space, this room now serves as an elegant dining area, comfortably fitting a six-seat table in front of a wood-burning stove. Solid wooden flooring flows throughout the room, and clever alcove shelving and under-stairs cupboards provide ample storage.

The bright and airy kitchen features sleek modern cabinetry paired with a solid wood worktop. An electric hob and oven are integrated into the base cupboards, and a ceramic sink sits beneath a wall of open shelving. On the opposite side, additional cabinetry, a fridge freezer, and bench seating area completes the space. A half-glazed door leads out to the charming courtyard garden.

A set of painted stairs with a jute runner brings you to the first floor sitting room, which spans the full width of the house. Bathed in natural light, this room is both private and peaceful, with a centrally placed wood-burning stove adding to the cosiness. The first double bedroom, situated at the rear of the house, boasts full-height fitted wardrobes. A convenient W/C serves both the sitting room and the bedroom.

The top floor hosts the second double bedroom, also with fitted wardrobes, and a light-filled family bathroom. The bathroom is finished with sleek white tiles, enhancing the fresh, contemporary feel.

The west-facing courtyard garden, recently decked by the current owner, offers an intimate outdoor retreat. Surrounded by beautiful old stone walls that soak up the afternoon sun and a handy stone outbuilding, perfect for bikes and garden furniture.

Steeped in history, Sheppards Barton was originally built to house workers from Frome’s weaving industry. The cottage occupies an enviable location, positioned on a pedestrian-only street just moments away from the independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars of Catherine Hill.

Frome itself is a bustling market town, just under 13 miles from Bath and surrounded by stunning countryside. With excellent transport links, including direct rail services to London Paddington, Bath, Bristol, and the seaside. The town also boasts a wide range of amenities, including music venues, two theatres, an independent cinema, and a great selection of schools.
