Frome, Somerset.

Arguably one of the finest townhouses in Frome, 13 Somerset Road is a remarkable property combining conscious living with elegant simplicity creating a rather cool home.

The ground floor of Number 13 has been thoughtfully reconfigured to create a stunning open plan living space. A small step leads to the kitchen and dining area, a warm and vibrant space with ample room for a large dining table, handcrafted wooden cabinetry and integrated appliances and a very handy pantry. Exposed joists, a characterful fireplace with a log burner, reclaimed timber shelving, and a striking mix of Indian limestone and oak flooring add layers of texture and warmth, while an abundance of windows and natural light connects this room beautifully with the greenery of the park and garden outside.  

Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room and loo with space for washer/dryer, boots and coats, additional storage and separate access to the garden. 

On the first floor there are three generous double bedrooms, each bathed in natural light all with attractive outlooks. The vaulted ceiling of the dual-aspect principal bedroom enhances its sense of space, while an en-suite loo adds to its privacy and convenience. The generous family bathroom, featuring a separate shower, enjoys a stunning garden view. A beautifully crafted reading nook sits at the heart of the landing, where floor-to-ceiling shelving, crafted from reclaimed timber, creates a restful pause in the flow of the home.

The top floor has two further double bedrooms and a smaller additional room which offers versatility as a single bedroom, bunk room, or home office. A second family bathrrom on this floor ensures comfortable, accommodating and practical living.

Throughout the home, sustainable design is evident. The internal wall across the three floors has been painstakingly restored to reveal original Somerset stone and celebrates the home’s heritage. Painted floorboards, characterful fireplaces, and thoughtfully reclaimed materials infuse warmth and authenticity. Heating is efficient via an air source heat pump and solar panels (with battery)  This is eco-conscious living at its finest, combining period beauty with a future-focused approach, all within the thriving historic market town of Frome.

Outside
The large south-facing garden serves as a captivating centrepiece of the property.  Featuring a spacious terrace perfect for alfresco living, the garden is an enchanting blend of winding gravel pathways, mature trees, and shrubs, all interwoven with charming perennials. At its heart, a graceful willow dome stands proudly, offering a serene retreat for contemplation and meditation.

The garden hosts four raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse, productive apple, pear, cherry, plum, grape and fig trees, an array of berries and a variety of herbs. A water butt provides water in the dry months along with a compost area, wood store and garden shed.

A log cabin / holiday let/studio, fondly known as “The Shack’, is discretly tucked away within the garden. This timber-built, fully fitted space offers versatile accommodation, having planning permission for a holiday let (we are advised by the vendor it has good earning potential). Nestled beneath a liquid amber maple tree, the insulated timber building is a spacious area with ample room for a large bed, seating and dining area. With an ensuite bathroom, well equipped kitchen and private porch, ‘The Shack’ is a fully functioning intimite hideaway within the grounds of this gem of a period town house.

There is off street parking at front of house for one small car. With EV charge point. Private parking for 2-3 more cars in the garden.
