Description
Located in a desirable village less than three miles from the vibrant market town of Frome - a truly exceptional family residence.
Formerly two cottages, Laurel Bank now offers versatile and well-proportioned accommodation across three floors. From the moment you step inside, the property exudes character and warmth. The entrance porch leads into a welcoming reception hall featuring a flagstone floor, exposed beam, and a striking inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove – a wonderful introduction to the home’s period charm.
The living spaces are impressive in scale and character. A light-filled dual-aspect living room and an elegant sitting room both enjoy views over the gardens and feature fireplaces with wood-burning stoves, while the spacious dining room offers dual aspect views of the gardens – perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. The tasteful designed kitchen is light filled and provides direct access to the rear garden, with a separate utility room and a ground floor WC offering additional convenience.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises a generous master bedroom with en-suite shower room and dressing area, two further double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. A mezzanine level accessed via a private staircase offers a quiet study/art area, while the top floor reveals a stunning triple-aspect bedroom with panoramic views towards Orchardleigh and Frome – an inspiring retreat filled with natural light.
Externally, the grounds are a major feature of Laurel Bank. Surrounded by pretty stone walling, the gardens are laid mainly to lawn with a variety of mature trees, shrubs, and well-stocked borders. A patio seating area provides an idyllic spot to enjoy the scenery, and the property includes an attached workshop with power and light. A sweeping driveway leads to a double garage and offers parking for several vehicles.
Set within walking distance of village amenities including a church, pub, and playground, Laurel Bank also benefits from excellent access to Babington House, the amenities of Frome, and the city of Bath just ten miles away.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinctive and spacious period home in a sought-after rural location, brimming with potential and character.
