This week's property highlight is a beautifully renovated and extended Victorian home on Nunney Road, Frome.

Priced at £1,150,000 and on the market with Rivendell Estates, this seven-bedroom family residence combines historic charm with modern convenience, offering expansive living space, a private garden, and ample off-street parking.

Widely regarded as a premier relocation spot in the southwest, Frome's allure remains undiminished. This stunning home, situated above the energetic Badcox area, is ideally located for a leisurely stroll to the town centre and offers easy access to Bath, Bruton, Glastonbury, and Babington House.

Nestled back from the road by a large private driveway, the property provides ample off-street parking for at least two cars, a rarity in central Frome. The extension has expanded the house to nearly 3,000 sq ft, spread across three storeys.

The ground floor features a newly added one-bedroom annexe with separate access, perfect for guests, extended family, or rental opportunities. The main living area, connected to the bedroom via a corridor, includes a compact kitchen and a bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower. Aluminium-framed Crittall-style doors open to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Within the main house, the ground floor includes two living spaces, both accessible from a welcoming entrance hall adorned with encaustic decorative tiles. The extended kitchen and dining room, possibly the most inviting room, is garden-facing and exudes a modern, airy ambience. North-facing windows ensure excellent light throughout the day, particularly in the afternoon. The kitchen, designed for family life, is well-equipped with ample worktop space, a large Rangemaster cooker, and a walk-in pantry. Oak herringbone flooring and Crittall-style aluminium doors and windows add to the room's charm, making it ideal for hosting.

The southern-facing living room is cosy, featuring its original fireplace and a large bay window that brings in lovely natural light. Brushed and oiled engineered oak flooring adds warmth to the space. This floor also includes a utility room and a WC.

The first floor houses five bedrooms, all benefiting from Victorian proportions that ensure ample space and light. The main bedroom, located at the rear of the house, enjoys garden views with French windows and a Juliet balcony. Adjacent is a chic bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower. The family bathroom is situated off the central landing.

The top floor has been converted into a seventh bedroom with an en-suite shower room. This floor also features deep storage cupboards built into the eaves and a Cabrio Velux window that opens fully to a small standing platform overlooking the rooftops.

The garden enjoys abundant sunshine throughout the day and into the early evening. Landscaped during the renovation, the garden's planting is still maturing, but raised beds provide opportunities for growing vegetables and flowers. Lawns are enclosed by traditional stone walling and fencing for privacy, while a paved area between the lawns features a centrally placed firepit, perfect for winter outdoor dining.

Frome's popularity has surged in recent years, frequently being named one of the best places to live in the UK due to its vibrant cultural scene, historic architecture, and beautiful surrounding countryside. The town is renowned for its 'flatpack democracy,' with a coalition of independents controlling all 17 council seats, fostering a thriving community of independent shops, creative businesses, and eateries in the artisan quarter on Catherine Hill. The Frome Independent, a monthly market showcasing local artisans and food producers, attracts over 80,000 visitors annually, further enhancing the town's reputation.

Nunney Road is excellently positioned for easy access to the surrounding countryside, with the desirable village of Mells just a 10-minute drive west. Frome is also within easy driving distance of the magnificent Georgian city of Bath, Babington House, and Bruton's highlights: Hauser and Wirth, At the Chapel, Osip, and The Newt in Somerset.

The area is known for its excellent schooling options, including Frome Media Arts College, All Hallows, Downside, Millfield, Wells Cathedral School, Sunnyhill, and Kings School, Bruton. Transport links are robust, with direct mainline railway services from Frome to London Paddington taking approximately 86 minutes. The national motorway network is accessible via the A303 (M3), and Bristol Airport is less than 30 miles away.
