This 1930s semi-detached house is located on this popular road of similar aged and Victorian houses and is within easy reach of the town centre and sought after local schools. As is typical for houses of this age the property offers generous sized rooms with high ceilings and lots of character.
Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Frome, Somerset, offers a blend of character and potential. Located on Oakfield Road, it benefits from its proximity to local schools, including Oakfield Academy and Trinity Church of England First School. The property’s age is reflected in its features, such as high ceilings and generous-sized rooms, which many buyers appreciate. However, the interior decor appears dated and could benefit from modernisation to enhance its appeal to contemporary buyers. The kitchen and bathroom seem functional but lack the sleek, modern finishes desired by many in today’s market.
The substantial garden is a significant asset. Its size provides ample outdoor space, featuring established planting, and outbuildings like greenhouses which gardeners would appreciate. The garden enhances the property’s overall value and livability. While not a contemporary ‘open plan’ design, the layout is traditional and comfortable, offering three bedrooms and a family-sized bathroom. The inclusion of a sunroom is an added benefit, allowing extra living space and increased natural light.
The property’s location within Frome’s desirable Oakfield area, along with the sizeable garden and three-bedroom layout, are likely to appeal to families. While some updating would improve its market appeal, the property seems generally well-maintained. The listed price appears to be generally competitive, although more precise comparative data (especially average price per sqft) would provide a more certain assessment of its value.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
