Gare Hill, Frome, BA11 5EZ

Enjoying an idyllic rural setting on the Somerset and Wiltshire border, this substantial detached family home occupies a peaceful position within the hamlet of Gare Hill, surrounded by rolling countryside and woodland views. Built in 2002 and thoughtfully updated by the current owners, the property offers light-filled and well-balanced accommodation extending to four double bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous living space, complemented by beautifully maintained gardens, ample parking and a double garage.

Approached through a traditional five-bar wooden gate, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and tranquillity. A generous gravelled driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the detached double garage, whilst an area of lawn and mature planting frame the approach. From the front of the property there are attractive views across the surrounding woodland and countryside, creating a wonderful connection with the landscape.

The front door opens into a spacious and welcoming entrance hall, where the excellent proportions of the home become immediately apparent. Filled with natural light, the hall provides access to the reception rooms and staircase rising to the first floor.

Positioned at the front of the house, the sitting room is a wonderfully bright reception space enjoying delightful views across the manicured front garden. Generous in size and ideal for both family life and entertaining, it provides a calm and inviting setting throughout the seasons.

At the heart of the home lies the recently refitted kitchen/breakfast room. Installed by Howdens, this stylish and practical space has been designed with modern family living in mind and features an extensive range of contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and a range cooker. Windows to both the front and rear elevations allow natural light to flow through the room while enjoying views of the surrounding gardens.

Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room offers an ideal setting for both formal dining and everyday family meals, with pleasant views over the rear garden and countryside beyond, accessed

through a set of French doors. A separate utility room provides additional storage, workspace and laundry facilities, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered, and providing space for coats and boots as well as direct garden access.

A particular advantage of the property is the ground floor bedroom suite. Situated towards the rear of the house, this spacious double bedroom benefits from fitted furniture and an en suite bathroom, creating an ideal arrangement for guests, multigenerational living or those seeking single-level accommodation.

The first floor continues to impress with a large and airy landing serving three further double bedrooms. The master bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, taking full advantage of the surrounding rural outlook, and benefits from a generous en suite bathroom featuring both a bath and separate shower. Two further double bedrooms are served by a well-appointed Jack and Jill bathroom, and similarly includes both a bath and separate shower. Several of the bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes, enhancing the practicality of the accommodation.

OUTSIDE

Outside, the gardens have been carefully maintained and provide a wonderful extension of the living space. A substantial patio terrace adjoins the rear of the property, creating the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Steps rise to an expansive lawn which gently overlooks the neighbouring countryside, offering a picturesque backdrop and a high degree of privacy. The combination of mature planting, open views and a quiet rural position creates a particularly attractive outdoor environment that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
