Description

* This superb opportunity to purchase a site with planning permission to build three substantial detached houses * Edge of town location with easy access to popular Frome town centre ( 1 mile) and access to the Frome by-pass and Bath (13 miles) * Mains water, electricity and gas available nearby within Gypsy Lane * Opportunity to create three substantial detached dwellings with generous sized gardens.

Situation: This superb site sits to the south of Highfield on the northern outskirts of this popular market town. Frome is acclaimed for its excellent range of independent shops, boutiques and bistros, together with the renowned monthly Artisan market. With more Listed properties than any other town in Somerset, Frome has become one of the area’s most desirable and characterful market towns, offering a strong blend of period architecture, local culture and day to day amenities. The town has good communication links with easy access to the Frome bypass, the Georgian city of Bath approximately 13 miles away and Bristol approximately 20 miles away. There is a regular train service from Frome and Westbury to London, together with excellent local attractions such as The Newt near Castle Cary, Stourhead National Trust gardens, Babington House and Longleat.

Description: A rare opportunity to purchase a plot with planning permission for three substantial detached dwellings with parking and generous sized gardens which will back onto the already established gardens and grounds of Highfield. The site offers the opportunity to create a small, high quality residential scheme in an established and attractive setting, with the benefit of outline planning permission already in place. Notification of decision was granted in 2025 under application number 2025/2137/OUT with outline consent to build three detached dwellings subject to reserved matters, with further information available through the selling agents.

The Scheme: The reserved matters application will allow the purchaser to refine the detailed layout, scale, appearance, landscaping and access arrangements, giving scope to create a scheme that is both attractive to the local market and appropriate to the surrounding residential setting. Mains water, electricity and gas are available nearby within Gypsy Lane. The sellers have established a cost for the installation of a shared drainage system for both foul and surface water, erection of suitable fencing as well as the formation of a new vehicular access and connection of relevant services to the site, with further details available through the selling agents. The site should appeal to developers and purchasers seeking a consented residential development opportunity in a desirable Frome location, with all three plots being sold together and with the benefit of the planning principle already established.

Viewing: By appointment through the selling agents McAllisters who will arrange to meet prospective purchasers on site.
