Rodden Road, Frome, BA11

Occupying a wonderful position overlooking the former Cheese Show fields, this impressive detached family house was originally constructed in the 1920s and has been thoughtfully extended over the years to create a substantial and versatile home of considerable character and appeal.

Approached via a generous block-paved driveway providing parking for several vehicles, the property immediately impresses with its handsome façade and commanding presence. The house sits comfortably within its plot and enjoys a delightful outlook to the front, whilst the large south-west facing gardens to the rear provide an excellent setting for family life.

The accommodation extends to over two floors and retains many of the attractive characteristics associated with homes of this era, including notably high ceilings, well-proportioned rooms and an abundance of natural light throughout. The home retains numerous original features, such as the working servants bell system.

A spacious entrance hall creates a welcoming first impression and sets the tone for the accommodation beyond, divided into two sections with dual aspect windows and a downstairs WC. To one side is an elegant dining room featuring a bay window and attractive fireplace, creating a wonderful space for both formal entertaining and everyday family meals. Opposite, the main reception room is particularly impressive, being dual aspect and enjoying views over both the rear gardens and the open fields to the front. A marble fireplace provides an attractive focal point, whilst the generous proportions allow for a variety of furniture arrangements.

Leading from the sitting room is a delightful sun room, a wonderfully bright space with direct access to the gardens, perfectly placed for enjoying the warmer months and the peaceful surroundings.

The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home. Fitted with a range of modern wall and base units, integrated appliances and an Aga, it provides ample storage and preparation space. The adjoining breakfast area creates a sociable open-plan environment ideal for modern family living and entertaining. A useful utility area is located just off the kitchen.

On the first floor are four comfortable double bedrooms. The master bedroom and one further bedroom benefit from en-suite facilities and bay windows, whilst a family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. The house has been well maintained and offers comfortable living as it stands, whilst also presenting an exciting opportunity for a new owner to further personalise certain aspects to suit their own tastes and requirements over time.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property. Extending predominantly to the rear, they are of an exceptional size and enjoy a sunny south-westerly aspect. The grounds are laid mainly to lawn and complemented by a patio seating area together with a variety of mature shrubs, plants and trees that provide colour, privacy and year-round interest. Fully enclosed and relatively level, the gardens are ideal for families, gardening enthusiasts and outdoor entertaining alike.

The property also benefits from a single integrated garage and driveway parking for approximately six vehicles.
