4 bedroom townhouse

With a southerly aspect rear garden, this fascinating four storey town house was built in the early 1800's, and is one of the largest within Phoenix Terrace in Catherine Street, which in turn is is Badcox Village, an area of the town with an increasingly desirable Artisan character. 

The property provides outstanding scope for buyers intent on creating their own interior design with wide-ranging flexibility to arrange the living space in line with individual home lifestyle preferences. There are certain period style fundamentals to potentially form part of such a project such as stone and cast iron fireplaces, some lovely timber and flagstone flooring, sash windows and stunning exposed roof beams. In addition, there is a separate garden workshop with rear pathway access, water supply and soil drainage (note - buyers would need to investigate the extent to which these services are currently functioning).

The ground floor living space is in partial open plan, with wide openings connecting three rooms. The Living room has folding shutters to its front sash window and opens into the kitchen, with beautiful flagstone flooring. beyond this space, there is further space which opens on to the southerly aspect rear garden and could be designed either as a breakfast area or further kitchen space.

At first floor level there is a bathroom, a large double bedroom which could serve as a further reception room, and a further bedroom. On the top floor, there is a further large double bedroom with magnificent roof beams, and an additional bedroom with rear aspect.

There is a stone staircase leading down from the kitchen to a spacious cellar, which has natural light fed from the pavement above and like the rest of the accommodation has flexibility in its potential function.

Externally, the rear garden has hard landscaping with steps up to the Garden Workshop/Store and a central area which has been cleared for planting.

This house, with its unique charm and character, will certainly appeal to those buyers with a passion for Heritage Architecture.  It is sited just a short stroll to the top of Catherine Hill, renowned for its fabulous independent shops, galleries and cafes, including the Rye Bakery in the breathtakingly restored former 19th Century Church in Whittox Lane (note that Bistro Lotte is even closer....!) 

Other nearby venues highlighting the thriving spirit of independence and community in Frome are the now famous monthly 'The Frome Independent' market, Frome Festival, the Cheese and Grain which hosts a vast array of events celebrating local creativity and performing arts, and for cinemagoers, the Westway cinema.
