Property description

A real one off, The Old Dye House is an interesting and highly individual rural home situated in large gardens, but within easy reach of Frome.

ACCOMMODATION This truly unique period home features plenty of space both inside and out that could be used in a number of ways. The property was originally the Dye House (believed to be 17th century but entirely remodelled and extended in the 1980's) of neighbouring Jefferies Mill, which produced wool for use in the manufacture of British military uniforms.
The ground floor includes a cosy living room with a large fireplace and a Jotul wood burning stove, a large open plan kitchen/dining room, a wonderful Mediterranean style conservatory/garden room, a third reception room, currently used as a study-bedroom with adjoining bathroom, and an additional shower room/sauna suite with rear store room/workshop enjoying separate access to the front of the property and a small walled garden to the rear. There are two separate staircases: The first runs from the living room up to two bedrooms and a WC with wash-basin. The main staircase accesses the first floor from the kitchen/dining area to two amazing double bedrooms, both with en-suite facilities, one with Jacuzzi. There is linked access to the first two bedrooms, if needed.





OUTSIDE The property stands in 0.6 acres of mature gardens backing on to open fields on one side, with the Mells River on the other (including fishing), and enjoying a good degree of privacy. There is a large sweeping driveway to the front (a turning circle occasionally also used by the two neighbouring properties) and plenty of space to park several vehicles. There is a detached car port to the side. The gardens include an open riverside meadow, a kitchen garden overlooked by the conservatory and a charming walled inner garden featuring a fountain that catches the morning sunshine.

LOCATION The hamlet of Spring Gardens is on the outskirts of Frome bordering open countryside and the Orchardleigh Estate & Golf Course.

The market town of Frome provides excellent shopping facilities, schools, a cinema, two theatres, leisure centre and train station, with Bath and Bristol also easily accessible by car.

There are good travel connections with railway stations at Frome, and mainline station in Bath for London, Paddington, Bristol Airport and the M4, M5 and A303 are all within easy reach.
