8 Frome Road is a charming Grade II listed house set in over half an acre of grounds that now has full planning permission approved to create a stunning three bedroom family size house with a separate garden annex. Planning reference: 2024/1979/HSE
Currently a shell, our vendor has carried out extensive works over the last two years to include a new slate roof, new chimneys and new floors.
The proposed accommodation on the ground floor includes a large study, a snug, an impressive open planned kitchen/dining/living space with two sets of doors spilling onto the gardens and a utility with w.c.
The proposed accommodation for the first floor includes Three bedrooms. The master is a well proportioned and double aspect room with an en-suite, a dressing room and fabulous views over the gardens and the open fields beyond. The two further bedrooms are a good size and share a 'Jack & Jill' style en suite.
Outside
The majority of the garden sits to the side, front and rear of the house and is enclosed by mature hedges and currently laid mainly to lawn with some mature trees. It provides a wonderful back drop to the house and even if the footprint was extended there is still ample space to enjoy.
As part of the planning approved, there is a garden office with annex attached.
Services
We are informed by our vendor that mains water and private drainage are connected, our vendor has indicated that the drainage may need to be replaced. The heating system used to run off oil. Potential purchasers must rely on their own enquiries with regards to the location of any services and making any connection into them.

As part of the registration process, you will be asked to provide card details in order that the Buyer’s Administration Fee of £1295 inc VAT can be paid if you are successful. A week before the auction a hold will be placed on your account for this sum, which will then be released if you are unsuccessful. This fee will only be taken if you are the successful buyer.

If you are successful in purchasing more than one lot, we will contact you following the auction to take subsequent payments for additional lots bought.
