Castle Street, Frome, BA11

Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hall immediately creates a sense of space, with attractive oak flooring continuing through to the kitchen/dining room. From here, doors lead to the reception room, the kitchen and the staircase rising to the first floor.

The sitting room is a wonderfully light and comfortable space, with tall front-facing windows fitted with traditional shutters allowing natural light to flood the room. An open fireplace forms an attractive focal point, flanked by bespoke fitted shelving and cupboards within the alcoves, providing both character and practical storage.

To the rear, the kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home. Beautifully presented with cream-painted cabinetry, solid wooden worktops and stylish tiled splashbacks, the space offers a warm and inviting atmosphere for everyday living. A feature wall adds further personality, while there is ample room for a family dining table. A generous understairs cupboard provides excellent pantry storage, enhancing the practicality of the room.

Beyond the kitchen, a rear lobby gives access to the family bathroom, fitted with a modern white suite including a bath with shower over. A stable door opens directly onto the rear garden, creating a natural flow between the house and outdoor space during the warmer months.

Upstairs, the property offers two spacious double bedrooms. The front bedroom is particularly generous, enjoying excellent ceiling heights, fitted plantation shutters and ample space for additional bedroom furniture. To the rear, the second double bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook across the garden.

OUTSIDE

The enclosed rear garden is a wonderful extension of the home. Immediately adjoining the cottage is a sheltered patio, ideal for morning coffee or outdoor dining, with stone steps leading to an attractive lawn bordered by mature shrubs and a variety of established fruit trees. At the far end of the garden, a further paved seating area provides another peaceful place to relax throughout the day, alongside a charming summer house offering excellent versatility as a home office, studio, hobby room or garden retreat.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Gas fired central heating. Mains electric, water and sewerage. The home has been recently redecorated with new carpet in the sitting room. The fencing and render was replaced last year and the boiler is 2 years old.
