Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Tucked away in the Somerset countryside, yet within easy reach of Bath and Frome, we think this is a fabulous rural retreat. It’s set within a private gated estate, meaning quiet days come naturally here. Fling open the doors and you’ll find a modern, bright home with high ceilings and big windows where you can take in the rocky backdrop next to you. Upstairs, the open-plan living space is ideal for spending time together, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of room to relax. There’s a balcony too, great for savouring your morning coffee on, plus a grassy garden for little ones to let off some steam.
