If you want a town rich in community, Frome is the place to be. A Somerset market town steeped in history, its popularity has only surged in recent years thanks to its thriving cultural scene, historic architecture and beautiful surrounding countryside. Quirky and non-conformist, in 2015 the town voted for an entire council made up of independents – a trend continued through its generous helping of independent shops, creative businesses and artisan eateries. Thinking of moving in? Here’s some of our favourite houses for sale in Frome right now.

Lullington House

This Grade II listed, six-bed country house (plus a separate coach house) is set within nine acres of bucolic wilderness. Designed and constructed by the renowned architect George Devey, this historic property was originally the Rectory of the Orchardleigh Estate. Today, many period details remain, including a slate roof, ornate cornicing, large fireplaces, mullioned windows, and a gabled roof. Upon entry, a splendid hallway leads to a trio of reception rooms, all offering views of the lawned gardens. From here, sits an office (formerly the Rector’s room for meeting parishioners), a cloakroom and a cosy snug, with a spacious family kitchen at the rear. The converted coach house, meanwhile, offers two bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen and a modern sunroom with doors opening to the garden. This garden features lawns, well-planted borders, woodland, a wildflower meadow, fruit tree orchard, plus a paddock across the village lane and a collection of outbuildings.
