In 2011, the current owners acquired Rylands Farm, a 17th-century detached farmhouse situated at the heart of Beckington, just outside Frome. Since their acquisition, the house, garden, and outbuildings have undergone extensive restoration, updates, and additions, transforming the property into a comfortable and inviting home. The main residence spans three levels and offers five bedrooms along with versatile living spaces. The top floor, nestled into the eaves, features two bedrooms, each boasting expansive Velux windows. The first floor comprises the family bathroom, two additional bedrooms, and the master bedroom with an en-suite wet room. On the ground floor, residents and guests are welcomed by a beamed entrance/dining hall and an open staircase. The interior further includes a sitting room with a wood burner, a study, a hobby room, a garden room, and a kitchen/breakfast room with a gas-fired AGA. This floor also features separate boot, utility and cloakrooms. The owners express their love for the house, emphasising its ‘light, spacious feel, and wonderful atmosphere, which countless visitors have found homely and welcoming.’ They highlight Ryland's Farm as, ‘a unique property offering the traditional charm of a detached residence, combined with the peace, security, and privacy of a gated and fully enclosed walled garden.’ All this with ample space to park several vehicles off-road. Outdoor amenities include a stone-built double garage/workshop with an electrically operated door and a single detached stone garage formerly used as a fully powered home office.

‘It’s an easy house to make cosy in the winter or open to the lovely garden in the summer. It’s proved fantastic for parties or large suppers.’

‘There is a strong sense of community here and people are approachable and helpful. We spend a lot of time sitting around each other’s dining tables.’

‘Last year a raised area at the end of the rear garden was developed into a large patio and outside eating area with shading umbrellas, tables and seating plus a barbeque and pizza oven area at one end.’

‘Beckington is a great place to live, with its rural location but also its proximity to Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Frome and main arterial routes to access locations farther afield.’

‘The village has excellent amenities, all within walking distance, from schools and pubs to a cool coffee shop. Nearby White Row Farm and a service station with an M&S mini market offer additional convenience.’
