Property for sale in Frome
Thirteen miles south of Bath, Frome, pronounced “froom”, is a town of enormous charm, with steep, winding streets, and more listed buildings than any other town in Somerset. Frome dates from AD705 when St Aldhelm founded a mission on the River Frome. Since then Frome has benefited from wool, agriculture and market trading and enjoys a rich legacy of weavers’ cottages contrasting with Georgian merchant homes.
Frome has grown substantially in recent years but still retains its historic centre, most of which falls within a conservation area. Houses for sale in Frome include terraced, period cottages offering two or three bedrooms; semi-detached and new-build townhouses; modern, detached houses offering four bedrooms; Grade II listed townhouses, semi-detached Victorian houses, and modern, architect-designed detached houses with two garages.
If you are looking for flats for sale in Frome they are mostly found in conversion properties with a few in purpose-built apartment houses. For current availability of flats, and for all cottages and houses, please contact Frome estate agents.
