Keyford, Frome, Somerset, BA11

A superbly presented three-bedroom, three-storey stone cottage, thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard and quietly positioned behind a charming low stone boundary with a private approach, set within the sought-after and historic Keyford area of Frome. The property enjoys a beautifully established and well-tended rear garden, providing a delightful outdoor retreat, while a pedestrian right of way immediately outside the rear door creates a warm and neighbourly atmosphere, enhancing the cottage’s sense of community.

Internally, the accommodation is both light-filled and welcoming, centred around a cosy yet airy sitting room featuring a focal fireplace with log burner, offering ample space for comfortable furnishings and relaxed living. The stylish kitchen/breakfast room has been appointed with an excellent range of base and wall-mounted cabinetry, a bespoke sink set within quality worktops, integrated oven, fitted hob and further integrated appliances, all complemented by oak chevron flooring. The room retains a characterful original stone chimney with feature fireplace and provides space for a dining table and chairs, creating an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining.

Arranged over the upper floors are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous master bedroom to the front enjoying excellent natural light and space for bedroom furnishings. A further good-sized bedroom on the first floor is currently arranged as a home office, offering flexibility of use. The loft bedroom is a comfortable double with useful eaves storage. These rooms are served by a contemporary three-piece family bathroom comprising a fitted bath with overhead shower, wash hand basin and W.C.

Outside, the right of way beyond the rear door leads across the cottages to the mature landscaped garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by rustic wicca-style fencing, with well-stocked borders hosting a variety of established shrubs and planting. A pathway leads to a stone-built store, providing a highly useful workshop or outbuilding space.
