Mount Pleasant, Frome, BA11

This charming Grade II listed end-of-terrace cottage presents an attractive stone façade and offers a wonderful blend of period character and comfortable living, set in a convenient position within the town. With generous gardens, off-road parking and a wealth of original features, the property represents a delightful opportunity to acquire a characterful home offered to the market with no onward chain.

Approached from the road via a small gate, the garden sits to the front of the cottage, creating an appealing first impression. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. Positioned at the front of the property is a particularly impressive living room, a beautifully proportioned space rich in period charm. A substantial inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove forms a striking focal point, complemented by feature exposed brickwork that enhances the cottage’s character. The room is filled with natural light thanks to large sliding doors that open directly onto the front garden, as well as an additional side window, creating a bright and inviting space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Double doors lead through to the kitchen/dining room which spans the rear of the property. This sociable and practical space offers a generous range of floor-mounted units with ample worktop space wrapping around the room. Finished with terracotta tiled flooring and cottage-style cabinetry, the kitchen has a warm and homely feel. Two large windows overlook the rear garden, while there is plenty of space for a family-sized table and chairs, making it a natural hub of the home. There is also space for freestanding appliances and a door leading directly out to the rear garden and parking area, particularly convenient when bringing in shopping.

On the first floor are two comfortable bedrooms along with the family bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a charming white suite including an over-bath shower and traditional scalloped detailing, in keeping with the cottage’s character. The second floor provides the largest bedroom within the house, offering a bright and versatile space with a built-in wardrobe. A useful storage cupboard is located on the landing just outside the room, providing additional practical storage.

Externally, the property enjoys gardens to both the front and rear. The smaller rear garden is enclosed and features a lawned centre with mature planted borders, creating a pleasant outdoor space. Beyond this lies off-road parking for one vehicle, which could potentially be expanded subject to the usual consents. The majority of the garden lies to the front of the property, where a larger lawned area with established planting and raised beds provides excellent scope for further landscaping or for a keen gardener to create a personalised outdoor retreat.

Altogether, this is a delightful period cottage offering character, charm and practical living space in a convenient location close to the town’s amenities. The town centre has many independent cafés and boutique shops, including Rye Bakery, Projects Frome, Moo and Two, Frome Hardware, Little Walcot and Frome Reclamation Yard. Frome’s popularity has surged in recent years; the town is routinely named one of the best places to live in the UK, thanks to its thriving cultural scene, historic architecture, and beautiful surrounding countryside. The Frome Independent, a monthly market showcasing local artisans and food producers, has helped put Frome on the map, attracting over 80,000 visitors annually.

Transport links are also very good. A mainline railway service runs direct services from Frome to London Paddington, with a journey time of around 86 minutes. Access to the national motorway network is via the A303 (M3) and Bristol Airport is less than 30 miles away.

Agent's Note:

Cooper and Tanner would like to make any potential buyers aware that there is a right of way across the front of the property for access to the neighbouring terrace.
