This charming 18th century weaver’s cottage is nestled into the heart of Sheppards Barton, one of Frome’s Historic Streets. The cottage is defined by its well-maintained period feature, including the original timber staircase, eight pane traditional windows and timber and plaster panelling.
Stepping off the cobbles of the pedestrian street and up into the cottage living room, the cosy sitting room and dining room offer plenty of space for both functions. Taking centre stage is the woodburner-style gas fire. Running opposite is the wall of the unique timber and plaster panelling in the traditional Wattle and Daub style. The sash window sits on the exterior wall and a bench beneath, overlooking cobbles. At the other end of the room is a practical cloak cupboard behind a wooden panelled door and the entrance to the kitchen. A compact kitchen set-up covers all the bases for everyday use, an integrated microwave, dishwasher, and oven are all smartly set into the cabinetry. The fridge sits under the counter and further wall units sit above. A glass door lends additional light into the space. There is planning permission approved for this kitchen to be extended. Mendip Ref. No: 2023/1713/LBC.
Up the winding staircase to the first floor, a light landing leads to the front first bedroom. A double room behind the solid wood cottage doors, a light room with a second window seat and an alcove for a bedroom dresser. The family bathroom, is a practical size with a shower over the bath, glass shower door, sink and w/c. It is finished with tong and grove panelling and green glazed metro tiles. The second floor holds the primary bedroom, complete with custom built wardrobes, a built-in dressing table and an ensuite shower room. This is the perfect room for gazing across the medley of Frome’s rooftops.
From the kitchen, you will find access to a courtyard which has space for a bistro table to enjoy in the warmer months, room for pots and is low maintenance. There is a small storage area which houses the washing machine.
Sheppards Barton was originally built to house the workers of Frome's weaving industry. The cottage is in the most enviable position with restaurants, bars, cafes and shops on Catherine Hill all moments away whilst being positioned on a pedestrian only street. The South Parade public car park is located 60 metres from Niddy Noddy Cottage and, subject to availability, parking permits can be purchased from Mendip District Council. Frome is a vibrant market town, just under 13 miles from Bath and surrounded by beautiful countryside. The station provides rail links to London Paddington and Waterloo stations and links directly to Bath, Bristol and the seaside. The town has many amenities, including a top music venue, two theatres, an independent cinema and a good range of schools.
