Full Details for 4 Bedroom Detached for sale in Frome, BA11 :
An incredible period home standing in wonderful woodland style gardens located a short distance from Frome in Somerset.
ACCOMMODATION An enchanting period home located in a leafy woodland setting on the outskirts of Witham Friary, near Frome in Somerset. The property was restored in the traditional manner in the early 1990's and has scope for future improvement subject to individuals taste and requirements.
Parts of the accommodation are believed to date back to the early 1600's while other parts have been more recently added, making this individual property a real one off. The versatile accommodation is arranged over two interesting floors and could be used in a number of different ways as it includes a spacious double height studio room. There are also two detached outbuildings.
The entrance is to the side and into a lobby area. This leads to both the rear garden room/conservatory and the main kitchen/dining room. This is a fantastic space and has been fitted with a bespoke hand made kitchen. There is an electric AGA, exposed woodwork and flagstone flooring as well as plenty of space for a large dining table. The main living room has windows to the front and rear as well as a large fireplace feature with a multi fuel stove. This room leads into the spacious studio room with another multi fuel stove. This is an impressive open plan area with a vaulted ceiling and steps rising to a first floor bedroom area. There is a utility room/shower room to the rear and a bedroom/study room to the front.
The main first floor accommodation is accessed from a characterful staircase that rises from the kitchen/dining room. The landing has access to the three main bedrooms as well as the main bathroom. Bedroom one has an en-suite cloakroom/dressing room area and bedroom two has folding doors giving an open plan feel if required.
OUTBUILDINGS The property benefits from two separate wood framed outbuildings, both of substantial structure. The first has been separated into two different spaces and is currently being used as a music/recording studio. There are windows, power and lighting. The second outbuilding also features power and lighting.
GARDENS The gardens are a real feature of the property and provide a superb degree of privacy to the main house. There are a wide variety of mature shrubs and trees as well as lawned areas and a good sized vegetable plot. There is a beautiful stream that runs through the grounds and has a picturesque bridge over it. There is a spacious granite set courtyard to the front as well as a long driveway area with space to park numerous vehicles. There is also a detached 'ice house'. Agents note: The track to the main house has been re-laid as well as substantial tree work done, Spring 2016.
LOCATION The nearest amenities are in Frome (6 miles) and Mere (7 miles). The village of Maiden Bradley is also a short distance away with an excellent village shop, pub, village hall and church. Communication links are excellent with Bath and Bristol within commuting distance. The A303/M3 (London Paddington 91 minutes) is not far, the A36, M4 and M5 are also all within easy reach. Access by rail is found locally with stations at Frome, Bath, Westbury, Warminster and Castle Cary.
