This Grade II Listed home is rich in history, dating back to the late 1600s and thought to have once been a non denominational school. The truly unique character of the property can be felt from your very first introduction, with elm floorboards soon becoming attractive blue lias flagstone flooring - just the first of many original character features that bring such a fantastic sense of charm to the property. Providing substantial and flexible accommodation over three floors, including three reception rooms and three large double bedrooms. Outside space is also in no short supply, with a pretty and well stocked rear garden housing a bespoke home studio.

What Our Vendors Love

Our sellers tell us there is so much to love about their home that it is quite the challenge to entirely convey in just a few words, and that it is not just the house itself that holds such warmth, but also the location and the nature of the town that surrounds it. From the point of view of the house, this is a very special property and real one of a kind proposition. The age and the history of the house is quite something in itself and dates back to the late 17^th Century. For a house of this age it is exceptionally warm and the quite singular architecture of it makes it deceptively efficient to live in. The rooms are great sizes and the layout, with reception spaces over two floors, make for very versatile accommodation; our sellers note in particular that the lounge on the first floor, with its West facing views through the picture window to garden are a year-round treat and has an almost ‘park like’ feel to the vista. Beyond the walls of the house itself the immediate locale is welcoming with lots of similarly minded residents, arts groups and community endeavours. None more so that the local Crown Public House that has evolved in recent years and is now very progressive and a fabulous hub that offers a variety of events. Another great benefit here is ease of access to all of the town’s amenities; so much so that our vendors only use the car when they are going outside of Frome. There are three theatres, numerous restaurants, a three screen cinema and railway station all with a ten to fifteen minute walk, and now with the potential Saxonvale development it now looks very optimistic for the town’s future.
