Full Description: Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Berkley Marsh, on the edge of Frome, this delightful three-bedroom semi-detached stone cottage offers both charm and history in equal measure. Believed to date back to the late 1700s, the property was once the local bakery and has since been a much-loved family home for the past forty years. Approached from the quiet lane, a driveway runs alongside a pretty front paddock and mature garden, leading to the handsome cottage frontage.On entering through the porch, you are welcomed into a cosy sitting room, complete with exposed beams, a striking multi-fuel burner (with back boiler) and an abundance of character. This in turn opens into a beautifully fitted kitchen, with slate tiled flooring, in-frame shaker cabinetry, a butler’s sink, wooden worktops and a gas range cooker, complemented by a bespoke hand-painted tiled splashback depicting local flora and practical peninsula island. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a generous dining area, ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. Beyond, a further hallway provides access to a useful downstairs cloakroom and a wonderful conservatory, which enjoys far-reaching views across the fields to the rear – a perfect spot for watching the changing seasons.Upstairs there are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying a pleasant outlook, along with an airing cupboard and a luxurious family bathroom. The bathroom has been thoughtfully designed in a traditional style, with a claw-footed bath, elegant chrome fittings and recessed mirrored cupboard.The outside space is a particular feature. As well as the charming front garden and paddock, there are stables, with lighting, sockets and water supply, a large double garage also with lighting and sockets. There is also a useful log store. Over the years, the land has been home to a variety of animals, making it ideal for those seeking a smallholding lifestyle. An established garden provides a seasonal abundance of fruit, adding further to the property’s appeal. A rare opportunity to acquire a home of such character and provenance, 18 Berkley Marsh is perfectly placed to offer a wonderful balance of rural living and easy access to the vibrant town of Frome. It has served as a cherished family home for generations, and now awaits its next custodians.LOCATIONThe property is extremely well situated in the popular hamlet of Berkley which benefits from a local school and a church.
