Location: Frome is a popular market town in Somerset, known for its independent shops, restaurants, and good schools. The property’s proximity to several well-regarded primary schools (Vallis First School, St Louis Catholic Primary School, and St John’s Church of England Voluntary Aided First School, all rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) is a significant advantage for families. The nearby Frome train station provides convenient access to other parts of the country. Sheppard’s Barton itself appears to be a quiet residential street.

Condition: The property appears to be in excellent condition. The photos show a recently renovated interior with modern fixtures and fittings, a stylish and updated kitchen, and a well-maintained bathroom. There is no evidence of wear and tear or the need for any significant repairs or renovations.

Land: The property has a small, enclosed courtyard garden, which is a desirable feature in a town centre location, offering a private outdoor space. Although small, it is well-maintained and usable.

Price: The list price of £380,000 is slightly higher than the average price of £305,948 for the area. However, considering the property’s excellent condition, modern updates, and desirable location near good schools and amenities, the price appears reasonable. The average price per square foot in the area is £364, while this property is listed at approximately £504 per sqft. This premium reflects the property’s superior condition and desirable location. The lack of plot size information makes a definitive price assessment challenging. However, given comparable properties on Sheppard’s Barton, the price is not unreasonable.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
