Castle Street, Frome, Somerset, BA11 3BN

Set at the top of Castle Street, this former weaver’s cottage is nestled among other 19th-century façades within the Conservation Area. As you enter the property, a small hallway allows visitors to pause before stepping into the main living area. This room is a true blend of heritage tones, with muted sandblasted beams, dark stone floors, and exposed brickwork surrounding the inglenook fireplace. A modern wood-burning stove adds extra warmth and atmosphere during the cooler months.

The second, smaller living room is connected via the original doorway, crowned with hand-turned spindles, and overlooks the courtyard. Towards the rear of the house is the kitchen, recently refreshed by the current owners. This space can now accommodate a dining table and space for a freestanding fridge-freezer. Two oak, custom built, timber framed units make up the kitchen in a low-impact style that complements the overall presentation of the cottage. Integrated within the solid wood worktops are an induction hob and a ceramic sink with a copper tap, with an eclectic oven set below. Beyond is a useful utility room with pantry storage, space for a stacked washing machine and dryer, and a downstairs WC.

The spiral staircase ascends to the first floor, where three bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged. At the front, the first bedroom is a comfortable double with an integrated wardrobe, original floorboards, and the benefit of morning sunshine. Next along the corridor is the family bathroom, simply presented with modern tiles and traditional touches such as a wooden-panelled bath with a shower above. The smallest bedroom works perfectly as a child’s bedroom or home office, featuring a heightened ceiling and wood-panelled walls. A second double bedroom serves as the largest room, with several built-in wardrobes, ample space for a king-size bed, and views over the garden below.

Leading out from the back door, the inner courtyard is shaded by a cluster of Maple trees. Stepping up to a higher tier, a decked patio sits alongside an espaliered vine tree and a raised goldfish pond. Stone walls border the lawn, complemented by a rambling climbing roses, raspberry canes, fig tree and a pink clematis. The west-facing orientation allows for ample sunshine well into the evening, making it ideal for sunset dining. At the end of the garden is a small area perfect for building a small studio or placing a greenhouse.

Located on the edge of the Conservation Area, Castle Street is within walking distance of the town centre and the vibrant Badcox area, known for its array of independent shops, restaurants, and cocktail bars. Frome is a historic market town, just under 13 miles from Bath and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The town offers a wide range of amenities, including good schools, two theatres, a cinema, and a railway station with direct links to Bath, Bristol, and London Paddington.
