Rode Common, Rode, Frome, BA11

Occupying a generous plot of approximately 1.57 acres on the edge of the ever-popular village of Rode, this attractive detached family house presents a rare opportunity to acquire a charming country home with extensive gardens, outbuildings and paddock land. Offering well-balanced accommodation throughout, the property combines characterful features with bright, versatile living spaces, all set within beautifully established grounds.

The front door opens directly into a welcoming and generously proportioned sitting room, a wonderfully characterful space featuring exposed beams and an impressive inglenook fireplace which forms a natural focal point. Dual aspect windows allow for an abundance of natural light and enhance the sense of space. From here the accommodation flows seamlessly into a further reception area which enjoys a bright, airy atmosphere, with double doors opening directly onto the rear garden terrace, an ideal arrangement for entertaining and summer gatherings. A formal dining room sits to the front of the house, benefitting from twin windows overlooking the approach and a further fireplace, creating an elegant setting for family meals or more formal occasions. The kitchen is positioned to the rear of the house and enjoys a pleasant dual aspect outlook over the gardens. Fitted with an attractive range of wall and base units topped with solid oak work surfaces, it offers a practical and stylish workspace complemented by integrated appliances. There is space for a small breakfast table and chairs, while a door provides direct access to the gardens. A separate utility room offers additional storage and work surfaces, space for white goods and its own external door. A ground floor WC with cloakroom completes the accommodation on this level.

Stairs rise to a bright and spacious landing which leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, benefitting from a dual aspect outlook, fitted wardrobes and a generous en-suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are all comfortable doubles and share the well-appointed family bathroom.

One of the most striking features of the property is the exceptional plot extending to approximately 1.57 acres. A sweeping driveway leads into the grounds and provides comfortable parking for several vehicles in addition to the detached double garage with EV charging point. The garage benefits from twin up-and-over doors, power and light. Above the garage sits an incredibly versatile triple-aspect room which offers enormous potential. To the rear of the garage are further useful outbuildings including a workshop and a separate stable currently used for garden storage. The current owners advise the workshop and stables previously held planning permission for conversion into a self-contained annexe, making it an appealing prospect for multi-generational living. These adaptable spaces could serve a variety of purposes depending on individual requirements and any necessary planning consents. The main portion of the gardens lie to the rear of the house and provide an attractive and private setting. Immediately adjoining the property is a large patio terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining during the warmer months. Beyond this, expansive lawns extend across the garden, framed by well-stocked borders that provide colour and interest throughout the seasons, there is a further patio, and the front garden holds a well. The property also includes an additional paddock of approximately 0.75 acres. This area has proved highly productive for growing fruit and vegetables and offers excellent potential for those seeking a smallholding lifestyle or further amenity land.

Agents Note: Prospective purchasers should be aware that the property sits adjacent to the A361 and therefore experiences some degree of road noise, which has been reflected in the pricing of the home. A rarely used public footpath crosses the driveway and continues into the fields adjoining the gardens.

Altogether, this is a distinctive country home offering generous accommodation, excellent outbuildings and significant grounds, all within easy reach of village amenities and the surrounding Somerset countryside.

Located on the A361, on the edge of Rode, the house sits within 5 miles of Frome and less than 10 miles of Bath. Rode is one of the area's most popular and sought-after villages, with a pretty green at its centre. Village amenities include pubs, a very popular primary school, post office/general store with fantastic café, village hall and playing fields. Private schools are to be found in Bath and Warminster.
