Property description

One of Frome's historic Grade II listed buildings that successfully combined a wonderful 3/4 bedroom home and business premises. Garden to the side. Off road parking and large double garage

DESCRIPTION Fromefield Post Office is a fine example of one of Frome's historic Grade II listed properties, which dates back to the 17th Century and is understood to have been part of the town's Cloth or Rope industry. Successfully combining a great family home with business premises, it offers versatile accommodation that would suit many uses and requirements.


The commercial element of the property comprises a good, open plan area that currently includes a thriving Post Office counter, along side retail space (stationery, cards, confectionery etc), which could be carried on by a purchaser if required. Alternatively, there is the potential to alter the use of this area, subject of course to gaining the relevant consents, to a different use or it could be incorporated into the main residence. Beyond this area is a staff kitchen area/office with a door leading to the garden and steps up to the residential accommodation.

The residential accommodation starts with an entrance hall, with a separate front door from Rodden Road. Part of this level is used as a snug/tv lounge and then stairs, with storage underneath, rise to the first floor. From the landing doors open into the study and kitchen and stairs rise to the second floor. Beyond the kitchen is a lovely light, open sitting room with wood burning stove, stairs to the second floor and a door to the master bedroom, with a recently fitted en suite shower room. The second floor comprises two further double bedrooms, a dressing area and a super bathroom. One of the landings on this floor is used as a dressing room and the other could be a shared space between the two bedrooms.




OUTSIDE To the side of the house is a pleasant enclosed garden area which is currently a good low maintenance area with patio and sitting area. Beyond the garden is a useful double garage with parking for two vehicles to the front.
