3 bedroom house

East Hill Cottage is a Grade II listed stone-built family house, believed to be approximately 300 years old, occupying a fabulous plot, measuring almost 1.50 acres, with paddock and outbuildings, 10 minutes walk along the river to Frome Town Centre.

To the front of the house there are two receptions rooms, a lounge with a wood-burning stove and a large dining room with plenty of room for a large table and chairs. To the rear, an open plan and spacious kitchen/breakfast/dining room provides a range of wall and base units, Range style cooker and hob, breakfast bar with seating underneath and room for a second dining table and chairs. This room is dual aspect. There is also a second lounge, with double doors leading to the gardens, there is a utility room and a shower room on the ground floor.

On the first floor are two large double bedrooms, one single bedroom and the family bathroom with a bath and shower over.

OUTSIDE

What makes this opportunity so special is the outside space that comes with the house. In all, there is approximately 1.5 acres of ground, which located in the town, makes it an exceptionally rare and exciting opportunity with obvious development potential, subject to gaining relevant consents.

A large private driveway sweeps round the side of the house up to a five-bar gate and through to comfortable driveway parking for around 20 cars.

Adjacent to the parking is the vast outbuilding which has been separated into three compartments, a double garage, a double car port and one single tandem garage, all with power and light, providing huge flexibility for conversion or indeed the space for a classic car fanatic.

Beyond is an 8 bay, steel constructed car port that provides further parking and again, could be developed/converted if the correct permission was given.

The rest of the ground predominantly is laid to grass, having been split into three areas by our owners, one area for livestock, one area for garden and one area for tinkering.

Within the area laid to garden there are two solid built buildings which would also lend themselves to be converted to create an annexe or holiday let/Airbnb opportunity, subject to planning.

The whole plot is enclosed and kept completely private by an attractive stone wall that stands around 12 feet tall, formerly the wall enclosing the grounds for East Hill House.
