2 bedroom apartment for sale

Knoll House is a prominent, handsome and well-maintained Grade II building in a prime location in the town centre, a 2-minute walk away from Frome's boutique shops, cinema, restaurants and markets. There is vehicular access from Bath Street via a video-phone entry gated secure car park. There is also a pedestrian gate through to Gentle Street. The property comes with one allocated parking space.

Flat 4 is on the first floor, reachable through an impressive communal hallway, with sweeping staircase and access to a private storage vault in the cellar.

You enter into a generous hallway, elegantly decorated with plenty of room for coats and boots. The majority of the apartment has been refurbished by the current occupants and they have reinstated a lot of charm throughout, with period mouldings, heritage paint tones, shutters and sea grass carpeting.

The airy and bright L-shaped lounge is bathed in light from the two large sash windows and French doors out to the garden terrace, a veritable sun trap with views over the communal lawn. The room has high ceilings, lots of character and plenty of room for a dining table and lounge, with scope to position these however fits you best.

The kitchen opens straight into the lounge, and has a range of base and wall units, open shelving, integrated appliances, Zellige tiling and under-cabinet task lighting. There is also the benefit of natural light from the large skylight overhead.

The main bathroom has a traditional 3-piece suite, decorative panelling, marble floor, large storage cupboard, and like the kitchen, has a large skylight.

The hallway contains a generous linen cupboard with large water tank, providing excellent water pressure throughout the apartment.

The master bedroom has built-in wardrobe storage and a small en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is currently utilised as an office, but would make a good size single bedroom, or a small double with limited storage, although it does contain a full-sized built-in wardrobe. Both bedrooms look out onto Gentle Street, one of Frome's best loved and most elegant lanes, often used to film period dramas, most recently Poldark and Sanditon (*views of Aiden Turner not guaranteed).
