Set on the edge of the popular Edmund Park development, close to open countryside, is this lovely three bed semi-detached house which is in pristine condition from top to bottom. The house, with its neutral palette, has a lovely zen feel to it and is clearly a much loved and happy family home. First time buyers are not going to want to miss out on this one.

What the owners say about their house

‘We love our home and it will forever have a special place in our hearts. If we could just pick our house up and move it to a location we want to go to we absolutely would. It’s in a quiet area with lovely neighbours surrounding. Everything about it is beautiful and we hope that this home will bring as much happiness to the next buyers.’

From the entrance hall, you step into a spacious lounge with an abundance of natural light and space for big sofas - a perfect chillout space for relaxing after a busy day or for entertaining friends. On a more practical note, a cupboard under the stairs offers useful storage space.

The kitchen diner which will keep even the most avid cook happy.  The open plan design seamlessly integrates cooking, dining, and socialising. Contemporary white units with ceramic sink and swan necked tap, gas hob and electric oven, space for a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer  create a space where both form and function thrive. Picture yourself cooking dinner while chatting with guests seated at the dining table. It is more than just a place to cook; it’s where memories are made. From intimate dinners to lively gatherings, this space adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle.

Patio doors lead out to a good-sized garden—perfect for al fresco dining. The low-maintenance design means more time for enjoyment and less time spent on upkeep. There is a good-sized garden room which could easily be upgraded to a charming retreat for lazy afternoons, a home office, or an artist’s studio - the choice is yours.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is spacious with plenty of room for your bedroom furniture and a well proportioned ensuite shower room complete with a window to bring in lots of natural light. The remaining two bedrooms, one double and one single with fitted wardrobes, offer a versatile space for a growing family or to accommodate guests. The smaller of the two would make a perfect home office or nursery.

The house has hard flooring thoughout which is both easy to maintain and allergy-friendly providing a sleek and contemporary feel. 

But this house isn’t just about walls and floors; it’s about lifestyle. You’re a stone’s throw away from open countryside, where scenic walks await. The train station and town centre are within walking distance and if you need groceries you can just pop down to Asda. This property offers the perfect blend of contemporary living and convenience and it can't wait to welcome its new owners.

Edmund Park is a popular development on the eastern side of Frome with an Asda superstore and petrol station within walking distance - although you may want to take your car if you need petrol! It has cycle paths, a children’s play area and easy access to the surrounding countryside for walking and cycling. It borders the River Frome and there are plans underway to create a picnic area on the river bank. There is a community space which is used for a variety of pop up events throughout the year and a bridge which will link the development to the train station on the other side of the river is planned.

At the entrance to Edmund Park is a wildlife sanctuary which is home to our resident beaver and otter population. A lovely walk along the river Frome and through Rodden Meadow will take you right into the centre of the town in 15 to 20 minutes and the Rye Bakery, which sells the best cardamon buns in the Western Hemisphere is less than 10 minutes' walk. Its also right by the station so I should probably mention that too. Check out the interactive 'Key Facts for Buyers' (Virtual Tour 2) for everything you want to know about the local area.

Frome is a popular Somerset town which is regularly voted one of the best places to live in the South West. It is home to a very creative community of writers, artists and musicians with the music venue, The Cheese and Grain, having previous hosted a surprise gig by the Foo Fighters as well as Paul McCartney's pre-Glastonbury gig last year. It offers a variety of high street names and a large selection of independent shops and cafes, particularly on the iconic Catherine Hill. The town hosts a very popular independent market held on the first Sunday of every month between March and December and an Arts Festival in July. Frome was one of the first places in the country to have a Community Fridge where residents and shop owners can donate excess food to the community to prevent food waste and also set up the first Share Shop where you can borrow anything from a highchair to a garden strimmer for a small fee. There is a leisure centre with pool, several theatres, a train station with good links to London, Cardiff, Dorset and Devon and whatever your hobby or passion there is bound to be a club or society which will welcome you.
