Paul Street, Frome, Somerset, BA11 1DT

This property presents a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire one of the distinctive townhouses on Paul Street, which has been a cherished home to an artist and craftsman for many years and their creative talents have been applied throughout to the walls to the floors. Though in need of renovation, this townhouse offers potential to become a truly exceptional home, with the possibility of creating a *workshop/shop on the ground floor and a one-bedroom maisonette above.

Paul Street runs parallel to Catherine Hill, the heart of Frome’s independent high street. The property is accessible by foot and features a large shopfront window that has long been an iconic façade within the area. Upon entering the first room, you’ll immediately notice the geometric wooden floor inlay and the beautifully crafted, hand-made spiral staircase. At the rear of the room is a former workshop area, with a mural-covered wall and ample built-in storage. A downstairs loo and a back door are situated to the left.

The first floor opens into the main living space, a bright and inviting room centred around a wood-burning stove. The blue-backed bookcase is in-fact a hidden entrance to the bathroom, which is finished with eccentric mosaic tiles, a gold shell sink, and unique ironwork. Stepping up to the kitchen, you'll find a curved worktop with a gas hob and electric oven, while the surrounding walls are lined with wooden shelving. Continuing on, the garden room—once filled with plants soaking up the south-west-facing sunlight - holds clear potential for a more substantial conservatory or extended living space.

On the top floor, the double bedroom is nestled into the eaves, offering picturesque rooftop views and built-in storage. From this space, you can also access the extensive loft above the kitchen, used for further storage.

Beyond the house, the garden is laid out over several terraced flowerbeds, with a sun-drenched terrace at the top, perfect for enjoying the warm weather 

Agents note: This property will require a significant cosmetic and structural work; the current staircase restricts head hight and movement of furniture.
