* Guide Price £725,000 - £750,000 *  Formerly one of Frome’s Historic Inns, this Grade II listed 17th Century building has been sympathetically and entirely renovated to a phenomenally high standard and enjoys a rooftop garden with the most incredible views across the town and towards Westbury White Horse and Cley Hill.

The ground floor of the house is an excellent, light and predominantly open planned space which provides a wonderful mixture of period features and contemporary luxuries. On entering the house an entrance hall firstly opens into a snug/reading area with a wonderful flagstone floor, a shuttered sash window to the front and a wood-burning stove. The lounge is adjacent and features a second wood-burning stove. To the rear is an impressive kitchen with a range of very stylish wall and base units topped with granite a breakfast island and doors into the rear courtyard garden, a suntrap in the mornings. There is also a large room which has a door to the side of the house, currently serving as an ideal self contained work from home area and would suit anybody wishing to run a business from home. Finally, there is a utility room and a cloakroom on the ground floor.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. The master bedroom enjoys en-suite facilities also. On the second floor there is a versatile living space with shower facilities and a kitchen area, with access to the rooftop gardens. This could suit anybody looking for space to offer Airbnb and also anybody who has a teenager at home requiring their own space.

To the rear of the property is a pleasant courtyard seating area which is great for the morning sunshine. Access leads to the garage which is double storey and was formerly ‘The Mews’ for the inn. It provides fantastic storage space and could suit some form of development in the future, dependent on gaining the relevant consents.

There is vehicular and pedestrian access into the building from the rear as well as through the property.

On the rooftop is a further garden that enjoys panoramic views across the chimney pots of the town as far as Westbury White Horse and Cley Hill.

Renovation works

Having had a complete overhaul in recent years, the house was re-wired, re-roofed and re-plumbed along with all of the other changes visible to the eye.
