Sleek, solar-powered, and dangerously stylish, The Cedars could be your next very expensive love affair

Price: £1,295,000 — take a look inside

If you've ever stood in a Frome townhouse thinking, "Nice... but where's the triple glazing, floor-to-ceiling glass and mechanical ventilation system?", The Cedars might be what you've been waiting for.

Tucked into the leafy calm of Willow Vale, this ultra-modern home is one of just three built in 2018, and the only one with an extra reception room to show off in. It's got silver cedar cladding, sleek lines, and views over the river valley that scream "magazine shoot," or at least "envy of your friends."

Inside, it's a masterclass in quietly flexing. The open-plan kitchen comes with the full Miele suite — yes, all of it — plus a wine store and slide-away glass doors that open onto a very serious entertaining terrace. There's a living room, an extra reception space, four double bedrooms, and a principal suite with dressing room and roof terrace access. It's giving boutique hotel, only smarter.

And then there's the tech. Thirteen solar panels feed the hot water system, the EV charger, and even the grid. Heating and lighting are controlled through your phone. There's CCTV, video entry, electric blinds, underfloor heating, and a plant room that sounds like it could run a spaceship.

Outside, you'll find a gated driveway, garage, two-tiered lawns, planted borders and a couple of smart outbuildings that currently house gardening gear but could be repurposed if you're feeling creative.

Location-wise, you're under a mile from Frome town centre with its markets, indie shops and "didn't expect to see them here" Cheese & Grain gigs. Babington House, Bruton, and The Newt are all within easy reach, and trains to London are a stroll and a platform away.

Basically, if you want a home that does it all, with a side order of smug, this might be the one.
