Bath Road, Beckington, Frome, BA11 6SW

Set behind a shallow front garden and elevated slightly above the High Street, Arundel is an attractive Grade II Listed early nineteenth-century stone home, full of charm, character and potential.

Offering versatile accommodation arranged across three floors, the property retains a wealth of period features whilst presenting an exciting opportunity for a new owner to sympathetically modernise and create a truly special village home within the conservation area.

Steps rise to the front entrance, opening into a welcoming hallway with a practical tiled floor and coat cupboard.

The ground floor provides two generous bedrooms, making this an ideal layout for those seeking flexible accommodation.

The front bedroom enjoys views over Beckington's picturesque High Street through traditional sash windows fitted with shutters, whilst the second bedroom overlooks the rear courtyard and benefits from a dual aspect.

Both rooms feature built-in wardrobes. Completing the ground floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a white suite alongside a separate shower enclosure.

Stairs rise to what is undoubtedly the heart of the home.

The kitchen and dining room enjoy an open-plan arrangement, creating a sociable space with a large picture window and glazed doors opening onto an elegant wrought iron balcony overlooking the courtyard gardens below.

The kitchen is fitted with timber worktops, a range of cupboards and space for freestanding appliances.

To the front of the property, the sitting room is a wonderfully characterful space, with exposed painted beams, three sash windows overlooking the High Street and a fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, creating an inviting focal point.

To the rear is a useful boot room with a stable door opening directly onto the roof terrace, together with a study or home office and a separate WC, offering excellent flexibility for modern living.

The top floor provides a third double bedroom, illuminated by two Velux windows and complemented by useful eaves storage. A shower room and additional storage cupboard complete the accommodation.

A gated passageway to the side of the house leads into an enclosed courtyard where a useful outbuilding can be found.

Steps rise to a generous paved roof terrace, ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining, before continuing to a further elevated terrace with a garden shed and pleasant views towards the surrounding countryside.

A workshop with light and power offers excellent storage or hobby space.

Although now in need of updating, the property is rich in original character, with painted beams, sash windows and an abundance of period charm throughout.

Its quirky layout only adds to its appeal, creating a home with genuine personality and considerable scope to enhance. Offered to the market Chain Free.
