Description

Situated on one of Frome's most prestigious streets, this distinguished Victorian townhouse from the 1890s presents an array of opportunities for renovations or investment. Overlooking a nearby park, the property's advantageous location offers easy access to the town center, which is celebrated for its artisan shops, vibrant markets, and dynamic creative community. Currently configured as three self-contained one-bedroom apartments, this property has generated an approximate annual income of £30,000. This versatile layout not only allows for continued rental income but also opens up the possibility of transforming it back into a spacious family home with authentic period features and ample character. The ground floor apartment provides exclusive access to a private rear garden, complemented by a light-filled bay-fronted sitting room that boasts high ceilings and an ornate fireplace. The double bedroom offers views over the garden while the kitchen leads conveniently to a utility area and shower room. On the first floor, another charming bedsit apartment features a bay-windowed sitting area with its own original fireplace, alongside a kitchen and bathroom that enjoy serene garden vistas. The top floor houses yet another one-bedroom flat with attractive views overlooking the park. Natural light flows throughout this level’s sitting room and bedroom, further enhanced by a functional kitchen and front-facing bathroom. The outdoor space is particularly notable; the rear garden provides direct access to a service lane behind the house, allowing for potential off-street parking in front of a substantial double garage. This outdoor area is primarily laid to lawn with established borders, offering both privacy and an inviting setting that could easily be reimagined through landscaping or personal touches. The garage currently serves as excellent storage but could present additional avenues for conversion or expansion—subject to appropriate planning permissions. It’s important to note that the property is being sold as a single freehold entity; however, the current configuration of three apartments may complicate standard residential financing options. Consultations regarding Buy to Let mortgages are advised for potential investors. Overall, this property not only captures classic Victorian charm but also stands as a canvas ripe for renovation—an increasingly rare opportunity in such proximity to Frome's vibrant core.
