Detached house for sale in Blackberry Road, Frome BA11

Set on the edge of this popular development is this beautifully presented three bedroom detached house with well proportioned rooms - perfect for a growing family or someone looking to downsize without compromise.

The large lounge at the front of the house is a perfect space for relaxing and the kitchen/diner, which is over 18 feet long' is a lovely social space allowing you to prepare dinner and chat to your guests or to supervise homework while you make the tea. The kitchen has an electric oven and gas hob with stainless steel extractor and there is plumbing for a dishwasher. The dining area is a substantial space with more than enough room for a family-sized table. Patio doors lead out on the sunny garden which is not overlooked.

Unusually for a three bed house, it also has a utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door onto the driveway means that shopping and muddy children or dogs can be brought straight in without having to use the front door.

In the hallway is a downstairs cloakroom and a useful storage cupboard.

Upstairs, are three really good sized badrooms. The spacious main bedroom is at the front of the house and has ample space for wardrobes. Off the bedroom is an ensuite shower room with thermostatic shower and vanity unit under the sink to provide extra storage. Bedroom 2 is another good sized double looking out over the garden and bedroom 3 would easily fit a standard double bed or make a really nice sized single bedroom. Alternatively, it would make a very useful home office with the added benefit of full fibre internet.

The family bathroom is also a good size and the generous landing has a airing cupboard and access to the loft space.

Outside, the sunny garden has a large patio area with plenty of space for garden furniture and the rest is lawned. A gate from the garden leads out to the driveway, which has parking for at least two cars, and a detached single garage with a useful space behind it big enough for a shed or garden store.

This house is a real gem - a beautifully presented, spacious family home that is ready to move into. There are not many of this house type at Edmund Park and they get snapped up so book your personal tour soon to avoid disappointment.

Local information

Edmund Park is a popular, friendly development on the eastern side of Frome with an Asda superstore and petrol station within walking distance - although you may want to take your car if you need petrol! It has cycle paths, a children’s play area and easy access to the surrounding countryside for walking and cycling. It borders the River Frome and there are plans underway to create a picnic area on the river bank. There is a community space which is used for a variety of pop up events throughout the year and there are plans for a bridge which will link the development to the train station on the other side of the river.

At the entrance to Edmund Park is a wildlife sanctuary which is home to our resident beaver and otter population. A lovely walk along the river Frome and through Rodden Meadow will take you right into the centre of the town in 15 to 20 minutes and the Rye Bakery, which sells the best cardamon buns in the Western Hemisphere, is less than 10 minutes' walk. It is also right by the station so I should probably mention that too. Check out the interactive 'Key Facts for Buyers' (Virtual Tour 2) for everything you want to know about the local area.

Frome is a very sought after Somerset town which is regularly voted one of the best places to live in the South West. It is home to a very creative community of writers, artists and musicians with the music venue, The Cheese and Grain, having previous hosted a surprise gig by the Foo Fighters as well as Paul McCartney's pre-Glastonbury gig last year. It offers a variety of high street names and a large selection of independent shops and cafes, particularly on the iconic Catherine Hill. The town hosts a very popular independent market held on the first Sunday of every month between March and December and an Arts Festival in July. Frome was one of the first places in the country to have a Community Fridge, set up by one of Edmund Park's current residents, where private individuals and shop owners can donate excess food to the community to prevent food waste. The town also set up the first Share Shop where you can borrow anything from a highchair to a garden strimmer for a small fee. There is a leisure centre with pool, several theatres, a train station with good links to London, Cardiff, Dorset and Devon and whatever your hobby or passion there is bound to be a club or society which will welcome you.
