Frome Road, Nunney, Frome, BA11

Approached from the road behind a low stone wall and manicured hedging, a pathway meanders through the beautifully planted front garden, setting the cottage back from the lane and providing an attractive sense of privacy and arrival. The mature planting creates an immediate impression of character before a stable door opens into a welcoming entrance hall.

Inside, the quality and cohesion of the renovation is immediately apparent. Stone flooring runs beneath crisp white walls, complemented by exposed and painted beams, traditional cast iron radiators and exposed copper pipework, all combining to create a refined country aesthetic. The hallway draws the eye through the house towards the garden beyond, enhancing the natural sense of light and flow.

To one side sits a useful ground floor WC, while to the other the sitting room is a wonderfully atmospheric space centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. Exposed beams, engineered oak flooring and built-in window seating add to the cottage charm, while timber shutters frame the windows beautifully. Glazed double doors connect seamlessly through to the kitchen, allowing the spaces to flow naturally for both everyday living and entertaining.

A thoughtfully designed rear extension has transformed the rear of the property into a superb kitchen and utility space — undoubtedly the heart of the home. Flooded with natural light from multiple skylights, the kitchen combines flagstone flooring, shaker-style cabinetry in complementary two-tone colour and solid wooden worktops, all enhanced by carefully chosen industrial-style lighting and retained original beams. There is ample space for freestanding appliances.

The kitchen opens naturally into a practical utility area with fitted cabinetry and sink, before continuing into the dining space, creating a wonderfully sociable arrangement ideal for modern family life. Large sliding doors open directly from the kitchen onto the rear terrace, perfectly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Upstairs, the first floor offers two beautifully presented bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys a dual-aspect outlook with exposed beams, fitted wardrobes and a cleverly concealed en suite shower room. A further double bedroom overlooks the surrounding gardens and is served by an elegant family bathroom featuring zellige tiling, a shower over bath and deep recessed windowsills providing excellent display and storage space.

Occupying the top floor is a delightful additional attic space, currently arranged as a charming children’s room, with extensive storage tucked into the eaves and large skylights bringing in an abundance of natural light. Sisal carpeting runs throughout the upper floors, further enhancing the calm and carefully curated interiors.

The rear garden is a true extension of the home - beautifully enclosed and predominantly south to south-east facing, allowing for excellent sunlight throughout the day. Directly outside the kitchen, a paved terrace provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining, while beyond lies a lawn bordered by richly stocked planting beds filled with seasonal colour. To the rear of the garden sits a versatile studio and storage space, ideal for home working, hobbies or creative pursuits.
