Leys Lane, Frome, Somerset, BA11

Upper Leys is an impressive and generously proportioned detached family home, enviably positioned within one of Frome’s most sought-after areas. Set along a secluded lane and enjoying far-reaching views, from the bedrooms, across the surrounding open countryside, this exceptional property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile home in a wonderfully private setting.

Offering in excess of 2,000 sq ft of beautifully arranged accommodation, the property combines generous living spaces with an adaptable layout, making it ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining.

A welcoming entrance hall immediately sets the tone, providing access to the principal reception rooms, kitchen, dining room and downstairs cloakroom, with stairs rising to the first floor.

The impressive dual-aspect sitting room is a particular highlight. L-shaped in design and flooded with natural light through large windows overlooking the landscaped gardens, the room provides a wonderful sense of space and connection with the outdoors. A Jetmaster fireplace forms an attractive focal point, with the added feature of a stone surround, creating a warm and inviting setting for relaxing and entertaining. The sitting room leads through to a good-sized conservatory, which in turn opens directly onto the gardens.

At the heart of the home is the dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, an excellent social space with double doors opening onto the gardens and ample room for informal seating. A contemporary range of wall and base units is complemented by sleek work surfaces, creating a stylish and practical kitchen. The property also benefits from a separate dining room, pantry, boot room and utility space, providing excellent functionality for family living.

Further enhancing the ground floor is a spacious and light-filled family room, with double doors opening directly onto the gardens. This versatile room offers considerable flexibility and could readily adapt to suit the needs of a growing family, home working or those who enjoy entertaining.

Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, comprising three comfortable double bedrooms and a generous single bedroom. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, enjoying far-reaching views and the added benefit of en-suite shower facilities. A beautifully finished family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside

The gardens wrap around the house and have been cleverly landscaped to create multiple seating areas, ideal for entertaining in the warmer months. Stone chippings to the front of the house provide driveway parking for multiple vehicles.

Agents Note

The building plot next to the property is also available to any buyers who would be interested in adding an extra dwelling, increasing the parking or making a larger garden.

Location

Upper Leys is just to the north of Frome, a short walk or cycle away down Leys Lane. Frome’s popularity has surged in recent years; the town is routinely named one of the best places to live in the UK, thanks to its thriving cultural scene, historic architecture, and beautiful surrounding countryside. The town continues to garner high regard for its ‘flatpack democracy’, thanks to a coalition of independents who took control of all 17 seats on its council.

This activity has contributed significantly to its growing community of independent shops, creative businesses and eateries saturated in its artisan quarter on Catherine Hill. The Frome Independent, a monthly market showcasing local artisans and food producers, has helped put Frome on the map, attracting over 80,000 visitors annually. The town centre has many independent cafés and boutique shops, including Rye Bakery, Projects Frome, Moo and Two, Frome Hardware, Eight Stony Street, and Frome Reclamation Yard.
