Packsaddle Way, Frome, BA11

This spacious detached home along Packsaddle Way backs directly onto open fields and boasts superb far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside. The south facing property is approached via a generous driveway providing ample parking for several vehicles, along with a double garage. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with established borders and a mature tree, offering an attractive and private setting.

A small entrance porch leads into a welcoming hallway, with a useful downstairs cloakroom. The ground floor accommodation is particularly impressive, featuring a wonderful dual-aspect sitting room measuring almost 10 metres in length, with a large window to the front and sliding doors opening to the rear garden. Adjacent is a formal dining room, also with sliding doors leading out to the patio, perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. The kitchen, positioned to the rear of the home, enjoys lovely views over the garden and open countryside beyond, while a practical galley-style utility room offers excellent storage. There is also a small study, ideal for home working.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, each well-proportioned and filled with natural light. The principal bedroom enjoys twin windows, a bank of built-in wardrobes, an en suite shower room and fantastic sweeping views of rolling countryside towards the Orchardleigh Estate. Two further generous bedrooms also feature built-in storage and attractive outlooks. The fourth bedroom, slightly smaller in size, offers direct access onto a roof terrace, an idyllic spot from which to take in the afore mentioned views. A good-sized family bathroom, large linen cupboard, and airing cupboard complete the first floor.

Outside, the rear garden features a wide patio area running along the back of the house, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Beyond lies a gently sloping lawn bordered by hedging, providing a perfect blank canvas for the keen gardener.

Offered to the market chain free, Hillcrest presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a generous family home in one of Frome’s most desirable residential and quiet areas. While the property would now benefit from light modernisation, it offers wonderful potential for new owners to put their own stamp on it and create a truly special home.
