Please quote MJ0484 to book your personal tour

This lovely home is probably one of the most surprising ones I have seen in a long time. From the outside you would expect a fairly standard detached bungalow, one of a number of similar ones on this cul de sac on the favoured Bath side of town, but step inside and it is a very different story.

This beautifully presented home has been lovingly renovated and extended by the current owners to create a warm and inviting space reflecting their creative spirits in the beautiful, vibrant colours and contemporary finishes.

From the hallway you step into a large open plan kitchen and living space where your eye is immediately drawn to the floor length patio doors framing the spectacular views over the town. Your friends will definitely have view envy in this house because they are really quite special! I can imagine watching the seasons change from the sofa and the sunsets must be quite breathtaking.

The kitchen, with a wealth of forest green wall and base units, has solid wood worktops which sweep round to a breakfast bar - the perfect place to sit and chat while dinner is cooking. The kitchen has been well thought out to make the most of the space with a double oven, hob and belfast sink with brass swan neck tap and open oak shelves to match the worktops. It is open to the dining room which creates a real feeling of space and draws in the light from outside.

A step down from the lounge and you are in spacious dining room with large glass windows so you can continue to appreciate the views as you entertain your guests or tuck into family dinners. I can imagine sitting and chatting while the sun goes down and the lights come on across Frome. It really must be quite magical!

All three bedrooms are an excellent size with bed 1 and 2 facing out to the front. Bed 2 is currently used as an office but would make a spacious double bedroom. They both share a lovely shower room with black and white Spanish style tiles and a black-framed corner shower with contemporary black fittings. A vanity unit under the sink provides useful extra storage. Bed 3, off the dining room, has been converted from the garage, and is a light and bright room with patio doors out into the garden. Also currently used as an office, it also has an ensuite shower room with double shower so would make a great guest room or even an AirBnB space as it is separate from the other bedrooms so offers a degree of privacy.

The house sits on a substantial plot with a long sloping garden that faces due south. There is plenty to keep the most avid gardener busy all year round. A patio area wraps around the back of the house then steps with a handrail lead down to a lawned area. Further steps lead you down the lovely mature gardens with an abundance of shrubs until you reach a level 'secret garden' at the bottom with a large shed, fruit trees and an arbour hidden in the hedge where you can sit and listen to the birdsong and enjoy some quiet time. Children would love this garden with its abundance of places to play hide and seek or make a camp.

The house is set back from the road with a good sized front garden and driveway parking for several cars. The area is very peaceful yet only about 10 minutes from the town centre. The leisure centre and doctors surgery are within easy walking distance and it also offers easy access to miles of walks across open countryside which will keep dog owners happy.

This fantastic home offers a wealth of versatile accommodation which would suit a family or professionals who need space for a home office. Due to the different garden levels this gorgeous house really isn't suitable for anyone with mobility issues though.

The Local Area

Frome is a popular Somerset town which is regularly voted one of the best places to live in the South West. It is home to a very creative community of writers, artists and musicians with the music venue, The Cheese and Grain, having previous hosted a surprise gig by the Foo Fighters as well as Paul McCartney's pre-Glastonbury gig last year. It offers a variety of high street names and a large selection of independent shops and cafes, particularly on the iconic Catherine Hill. The town hosts a very popular independent market held on the first Sunday of every month between March and December and an Arts Festival in July. Frome was one of the first places in the country to have a Community Fridge where residents and shop owners can donate excess food to the community to prevent food waste and also set up the first Share Shop where you can borrow anything from a highchair to a garden strimmer for a small fee. There is a leisure centre with pool, several theatres, a train station with good links to London, Cardiff, Dorset and Devon and whatever your hobby or passion there is bound to be a club or society which will welcome you.
