Beckington, Frome, Somerset, BA11 6SY

Eastcote, parts of which date back over 400 years, is a substantial six-bedroom detached house that has been thoughtfully extended and stylishly refurbished in recent years.

Recent improvements include external insulation to the rear elevation and the repointing of the roof ridgeline and chimney in 2026.

The heart of the home is the impressive architect-designed kitchen, completed in 2021, featuring bespoke cabinetry, oak flooring, Smeg appliances, a large central island and sliding doors opening onto the terrace and gardens.

A utility room and pantry provide excellent practical space.

The accommodation also includes a dining room with period fireplace, a welcoming sitting room with wood burner and reading nook, a versatile snug/ playroom, and a spacious WC incorporating an original well.

The first floor offers a family bathroom, principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite, a further double bedroom and a nursery/bedroom.

The second floor provides two additional double bedrooms, a study area, and a further room currently used for storage, which could alternatively be used as an additional bedroom or converted into a bathroom, subject to the necessary consents.

Beyond the kitchen, large glazed doors open onto a paved terrace, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Oak doors provide access to the garage, which offers useful storage and has power for an EV charger.

The beautifully landscaped gardens have been thoughtfully designed by an RHS trained gardener and are arranged around a south-facing lawn with mature borders, specimen trees and a curved brick pathway.

A productive kitchen garden includes raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and a garden shed. Eastcote is situated on Warminster Road, on the western side of the village.
