Description

- We are delighted to be able to offer this exciting development opportunity on the outskirts of the popular town of Frome. Located on the Southern side of the town this parcel of land measuring approx. 0.558 acres has the benefit of outline planning for five detached self and custom build dwellings.

The site benefits from wonderful countryside views towards Lower Whatley due to the sloping land towards the end of the site., in addition the topography of the site is level and is not within any flood zones.

The site is approximately one and a half miles from Frome railway station and about one mile from Frome Town Centre.

Planning - Planning was granted by appeal in October 2023 for five self and custom build dwellings. Further details regarding the planning consent can be found via the Somerset (Mendip) Council online Planning Portal using reference 2021/1395/OTS. Interested parties must satisfy their own planning investigations.

Location - Frome is a historic and architecturally impressive Town renowned for its atmospheric streets, quirky independent shops, cafés, galleries, and performing arts. Regularly featured in 'Best Place To…' lists, Frome is now famous for its monthly Independent Market, vibrant community action, and the surprise performances of international stars at the Cheese & Grain.

Babington House, the private members' club, with its swimming pools, tennis courts, gym, bars and restaurant is only a short drive away (approximately 10 minutes); and the Hauser & Wirth Gallery in Bruton and The Newt are also both within easy reach.

Connections in the area are excellent with the A37 and A303 (M3) not far away, providing access to the wider motorway network. Frome, Westbury and Warminster stations all provide regular rail services to London Paddington and London Waterloo.
