Oakfield Road, Frome, BA11

Occupying a sought-after position along the popular Oakfield Road, within easy reach of several highly regarded schools and Frome's vibrant town centre, this attractive stone-built mid-terraced home offers an exciting opportunity to create a wonderful family home. Rich in period character and offered for sale with no onward chain, the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation while retaining all the charm and proportions expected of a home of this era.

Set back from the road behind a traditional wrought iron fence with handsome stone gate pillars, a pathway leads through the front garden to the entrance. The attractive stone façade, complete with a dressed stone bay window, creates an immediate sense of character and kerb appeal.

The front door opens directly into the sitting room, where the bay window floods the space with natural light and provides an attractive outlook to the front. Well-proportioned and full of potential, the room offers an inviting space to relax and enjoys an easy connection to the rest of the house.

Concertina doors open into the adjoining dining room, creating the flexibility to enjoy two distinct reception rooms or a more open-plan arrangement when entertaining. Positioned at the centre of the home, the dining room also provides access to the first floor and offers an ideal setting for family meals or social occasions.

To the rear, the kitchen has been thoughtfully extended and benefits from excellent natural light thanks to a side window and overhead rooflight. Fitted with a range of wall and base units, it offers a practical workspace with plenty of scope for future improvement. Beyond the kitchen is a useful boot area, providing access to the rear garden, together with a separate utility area and a ground floor WC.

The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, both retaining the excellent proportions typical of period homes. Also on this floor is a spacious family bathroom, fitted with both a separate bath and shower, offering ample space for modern family life.

Stairs continue to the second floor where a substantial loft room provides a highly versatile space. Filled with natural light from a rooflight and benefiting from useful eaves storage, it could serve a variety of purposes including a home office, hobby room or occasional guest accommodation, subject to any necessary requirements.

Outside, the south-west facing rear garden is a particular feature of the property. Thoughtfully arranged as a series of individual garden rooms, it offers an attractive blend of seating areas, established planting and exciting potential for those wishing to further enhance the space. Whether enjoyed as a peaceful retreat or developed into a gardener's paradise, the garden offers a wonderful extension of the home. A timber shed with a large window provides useful storage and could equally lend itself to use as a workshop or potting shed.
