Full Details for 5 Bedroom Semi-Detached for sale in Frome, BA11 :
A splendid Grade II listed village home offering light and airy accommodation throughout. The property comprises three reception rooms, large kitchen, study, five bedrooms, one with an ensuite, family bath and shower rooms. Secluded walled garden and terrace to the rear.
DESCRIPTION The Old Post Office is a fine Grade II listed village home believed to date, in part certainly, to the 16th century. It has been lovingly restored by the current owners since they purchased the property 15 years ago and now successfully combines a period home with a modern way of life. Period features have been uncovered, retained and refurbished to ensure that the house has maintained its charm and character. Located in the very heart of the village The Old Post Office now provides versatile accommodation arranged over three floors and makes a truly wonderful family home.
THE HOUSE The house is approached from Warminster Road, through an arched Yew hedge opening into the front garden with a set of symmetrical box hedge beds divided by stone cobbling. A Georgian front door, with glazed Transom panel over, opens into a wide, welcoming entrance hallway with late Georgian tiled flooring, stairs rising to the first floor landing and doors leading to the principal reception rooms.
In the drawing room the wood paneling has been restored from original and the room also has a fine open fireplace. The kitchen has a Continental feel to it with a range of Shaker style wooden kitchen units, Belfast sink and wood burning stove set into a large open fireplace and flagstone flooring. The laundry room is well appointed with plumbing for appliances and fitted base units and sink. The sitting room/play room is believed to pre-date much of the main house and provides a great, cosy second sitting room that makes the most of the outside terrace area with double doors opening directly onto it. From the entrance hall the boot room leads into the office which in turn links into what was the former village post office. This room has a super bay window overlooking the rear terrace and then further windows and a door opening onto Warminster Road.
Subject to gaining any of the relevant consents, this part of the house could provide a self-contained annexe, perhaps for a dependent relative, whilst still being linked to the main accommodation.
From the lovely wide first floor landing access is gained to four of the bedrooms and the main bathroom. The largest bedroom on this floor benefits from an en-suite bathroom and pretty feature fireplace. The middle bedroom has painted wooden paneled walls and a lovely arched window to the front. The other double bedroom is a beautifully light room. The rear bedroom has an arched window to the rear and is a fantastic room for children with a fitted three storey bunk bed; ideal for sleep overs, and also a built in cupboard with storage shelves around it. Stairs from the first floor rise to the second floor which has been improved to create an impressive and unexpected master bedroom suite with sitting area and shower room. Open to the eaves and with windows to each end, this room is fantastic. The shower room has been recently reappointed and makes great use of the eaves space. There is also additional attic storage space on this floor.
OUTSIDE The rear garden is a real "hidden haven" which opens up into a wonderful space that really complements the house. From the terraced seating area (great for alfresco dining) wide sleeper steps wind up past the greenhouse into the main garden area with bursts of colour coming from beds and a wild flower area and lawns sloping gently back towards the house. The stone walls enclosing the garden ensure a high degree of privacy and shelter.
LOCATION Beckington is situated to the south of Bath and north of Frome. The village has a thriving community with two public houses, a First School, church and local garage. Nearby are the market towns of Warminster, Westbury and Frome. Westbury and Frome offer a high speed mainline rail link to London Paddington (90 minutes), and Warminster offers rail links to Cardiff, Salisbury, Southampton and London, Waterloo. The cities of Bristol, Wells and Salisbury are within easy reach and offer an extensive range of recreational, cultural and educational facilities. There are a wide range of country walks and cycle paths in the area, and sporting facilities nearby include golf at Warminster.
