Buttercup Close, Frome, BA11

Tucked away in a peaceful spot with views to the front across woodland with the neighbouring nature reserve beyond, home to the resident otters and beavers, this spacious detached home offers the best of both worlds — a sense of countryside calm but still walking distance to the town and station.

What the owners love about their house: What I’ve always loved most about this home are the views — they’re absolutely beautiful, especially at sunset, when the whole place fills with a soft, golden light. The garden is one of my favourite spots; it’s peaceful, private, and perfect for relaxing or spending time with friends and family. There’s such a calm feel throughout the house, and even though it’s close to everything you need, it still feels like your own little retreat from the world. It’s a place that’s been filled with warmth, laughter and comfort — and I know the next owners will feel just as at home here as I have.

Inside, the generous layout is ideal for family life and entertaining. The large kitchen and dining area is perfect for social gatherings or family meals, with a separate utility room keeping washing neatly out of sight. There are two versatile reception rooms — a large, light-filled lounge with a feature fireplace for cosy evenings, and a second that could make the perfect playroom, home office, or snug. A useful cloakroom completes the downstairs accommodation.

Upstairs, a light and airy landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, including three large doubles and a smaller double that would also be perfect as a home office. The main bedroom enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while the others are served by a modern family bathroom.

To the rear, the landscaped garden offers space to relax and unwind with a morning coffee or chilled glass of wine.

With the train station within walking distance, and everything Frome has to offer just a riverside walk away, this home combines tranquility and convenience in equal measure and is as practical as it is peaceful.

Why Frome?

Frome is famous for its lively independent spirit. The cobbled streets of Catherine Hill and Cheap Street are full of unique shops, cafes, and artisan finds, and the town’s monthly Frome Independent Market, from March to December, is a real event — buzzing with food, crafts, live music, and a welcoming community feel.

When it comes to family days out, Frome doesn’t disappoint. Victoria Park is a local favourite, with a cafe, playground, tennis courts and open green space for running, scooting, or picnic lunches. Rainy afternoon? Head to the Westway Cinema for the latest releases in a cosy, retro setting, and tickets are only £5, or pop into The Rye Bakery, set in a former church, where the children can enjoy freshly baked treats while you grab a great coffee. For lazy weekend brunches or a bite with friends, Projects (a popular vegetarian café) and The River House by the bridge are two of the town’s most loved foodie hangouts.

Frome has a wide range of schools across all stages. Families can choose from well-regarded first schools like Christ Church, Hayesdown and Vallis; middle schools including Selwood and Oakfield; and Avanti and Frome College for older children. There are also independent options like Springmead, plus specialist schools ensuring inclusive education across the town.

The town also has a surprisingly big arts scene, with venues like the Cheese and Grain hosting major acts, and the annual Frome Festival filling the streets with theatre, workshops and performances. Despite its creative, small-town feel, Frome stays well-connected by rail and road, making day trips or commutes manageable while still enjoying a slower pace of life.
