Rossiters Hill, Frome, Somerset, BA11

Morton House dates back to circa 1840 and offers the perfect fusion of beautiful Victorian architecture with up to date modern family living space.

The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, which is well presented and in very good order throughout.

From the attractive cast iron Singer porch, you enter the light and bright entrance hall with a Poole Pottery tiled floor. The living room with woodburner is to your right and the dual aspect office is to the left. The kitchen is at the heart of the house, fitted in 2020 it comprises sleek modern base units,
and space for a table and chairs at one end. A door from here leads into the garden/dining room, which is a great space for entertaining, and features French doors out to the terrace.

Continuing through the house, you have the laundry room, and an inner hallway which leads through to the studio/playroom, a double bedroom with en suite bathroom. Independent access can be reinstated to this area of the house so it would make a great annexe which could be let out, or for multi-generation living.

On the first floor is the dual-aspect principal bedroom which is an impressive space with a bank of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate walk-in shower. There are four further double bedrooms and a beautifully finished family bathroom also with a roll top bath and a walk-in shower. There is a large attic.

The property is approached onto a private driveway providing plentiful parking, surrounded by palms, bamboo and beech hedging, and an Ash tree at the centre. There is a second driveway to the right of the property which allows for additional parking in addition to the large garage and workshop. Attached to this is a garden store with power and light connected.

Double wooden gates provide access to a utility area, and then into the beautiful level walled gardens at the rear of the property which have been carefully landscaped to create different 'rooms'.

There is a slate entertaining terrace, a paved terrace with a vine covered pergola, level lawn with curved borders featuring a plethora of plants and mature trees, and a gravel seating area with raised beds.

In all approximately 0.31 acres.
