About
A two-bedroom cottage located on the characterful Sheppards Barton.
Set back from the main thoroughfare of St Catherine’s Hill, Sheppards Barton is a pedestrianised cobbled street that remains one of Frome’s most charming locations.
Entering through the front door, the first of two downstairs rooms is a cosy sitting room which can also accommodate a dining table, with the added benefit of a wood-burning stove.
Further back is the fitted kitchen, with cabinetry on three sides, offering ample storage and space for free-standing appliances. A stable door opens onto the rear access of the property.
Upstairs, the light bathroom is finished in a neutral white palette and fitted with a shower over the full-sized bath.
The first bedroom enjoys views over the historic street below, with wooden panelling and original floorboards, and can easily accommodate a king-size bed with additional bedroom furniture.
The second bedroom occupies the entire top floor, where exposed beams frame the full height of the room.
Built-in wardrobes provide ample storage, and the rear window offers a unique view of rooftops against the distinctive backdrop of Clay Hill.
To the rear of the property is a small practical space for storing logs, bins and drying washing, accesed via a shared gate with Nos. 9 and 11.
South Parade car park is the closest option for permit parking; alternatively, there is ample on-street parking available on High Street, Wine Street and Christchurch Street West.
St Catherine’s Hill, at the end of Sheppards Barton, is known nationally for its independent shops and thriving artisan community.
Nearby is the Badcox area, home to two independent butchers, a pharmacy, bakery, and Lotte’s Bistro and Bar. Council Tax Band B EPC D Mains gas, electrics, drainage and water.
