## Description

**Situation**

With less than a mile to walk into the town center and approximately half a mile walk to Frome College, Selwood Academy and Frome Leisure Centre, this home is well situated on a popular residential street on the Northern side of Frome. You will also find the Old Cheese Show Fields a short stroll away. Frome town itself is one of Somerset's finest artisan towns which boasts a fantastic spirit of togetherness. There is a range of supermarkets, public houses, theatres, schools, college and a sports centre as you would expect. However, Frome prides itself on the great selection of independently run shops that line the historical cobbled streets. While away your days sipping coffee in one of the cafes or buying gifts from the amazing boutiques. Frome is well known for its weekly markets and its monthly artisan market on a Sunday which draws people from all around. There is a rail service that is on the Paddington Line and also feeds into the cities of Bath and Bristol. Transport links will have you quickly out onto the ring road and the cities of Bath, Bristol and Salisbury are well within reach.
