Willow Vale, Frome, BA11

8b Willow Vale is a charming three-bedroom home, quietly tucked away within a private courtyard setting, just a short distance from the centre of Frome. Forming part of a characterful conversion of former workers’ cottages and outbuildings, the property sits within a unique and well-established enclave, offering both privacy and a strong sense of community.

The approach is via a small shared courtyard, predominantly laid to gravel, creating an attractive and informal setting. The property itself enjoys a discreet position, with the front door set within a sheltered recess, providing a practical and welcoming entrance space with room for seating and storage.

Internally, the house is well presented throughout and combines period character with modern convenience. Features include traditional-style radiators and oak internal doors, contributing to a cohesive and considered finish.

The front door opens into the heart of the cottage, with thick set stone cottage deep recessed windows to your left , stairs to the right and kitchen/dining room straight ahead. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, together with integrated appliances. Flooring transitions from solid wood in the kitchen area to painted concrete within the dining space, where a floor-to-ceiling window and glazed door provide plentiful natural light and direct access to the courtyard garden.

A door leads through to the living room, a comfortable space with French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony overlooking the courtyard, allowing light to flow through the room.

On the first floor there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage and window shutters. These are served by the bathroom, along with a separate WC with washer/dryer and built-in storage.

The top floor offers a particularly impressive space housing the master bedroom, set within the eaves, and enjoying Velux windows with views towards the vale, creating a light and private retreat.

Stone steps lead down to this enclosed space, which has been thoughtfully arranged with decorative tiled flooring, planted borders, mature shrubs and climbing plants and a small stone outbuilding. The garden offers a peaceful and low-maintenance outdoor area.
