Occupying a highly sought-after position just a short stroll from the vibrant town centre, this extended 1930s detached home is located on a popular and established road of similar period properties. As is typical of homes of this era, 79 Windsor Crescent offers bright, well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, and boasts a wonderful sense of space and natural light throughout. The property would now benefit from some cosmetic modernisation, presenting a fantastic opportunity to personalise and enhance a home in a prime residential location.
On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall leads into a generous open-plan living/dining room, perfect for family life or entertaining. To the rear, a conservatory enjoys delightful views over the garden. The galley kitchen provides access to the rear, and there is also a downstairs WC.
Upstairs, you will find two large double bedrooms (formerly three bedrooms) and a family bathroom. Bedroom three could be easily re-established internally without planning or building regulations. Or there is clear potential to extend externally to create a third bedroom, subject to the necessary consents.
A particular feature of the property is the substantial rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn, and bordered with an array of mature trees, shrubs, and flowering plants. There is also a large patio area, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxing in the sun. To the side of the property is a spacious garage with adjoining workshop space, a separate laundry room, a generous garden store, and a charming summerhouse, providing plenty of flexibility and additional storage options. The front of the property has been landscaped for low maintenance, with gravelled parking for several vehicles. With double glazing and gas central heating throughout, this wonderful home offers a blank canvas for the next owners and may also offer scope for further extension, subject to planning. Homes of this style and location are always in high demand, and with the added benefit of no onward chain.
LOCATION
The house is a short walk from the town centre and its many independent cafés and boutique shops, including Rye Bakery, Projects Frome, Moo and Two, Frome Hardware, Little Walcot and Frome Reclamation Yard. Frome’s popularity has surged in recent years; the town is routinely named one of the best places to live in the UK, thanks to its thriving cultural scene, historic architecture, and beautiful surrounding countryside. The Frome Independent, a monthly market showcasing local artisans and food producers, has helped put Frome on the map, attracting over 80,000 visitors annually.
Transport links are also very good. A mainline railway service runs direct services from Frome to London Paddington, with a journey time of around 86 minutes. Access to the national motorway network is via the A303 (M3) and Bristol Airport is less than 30 miles away.
