Description

This exceptional Victorian villa, Holmwood, is a grand and elegant property situated in the heart of Frome, just a five-minute walk from the town centre. The three-storey villa boasts 6 bedrooms in the main house and a further 2 in the Coach House, which has been successfully operated as a holiday let. The property is set within approximately 1.4 acres of beautifully tended gardens, woodland, and lawns, offering far-reaching views across the Frome valley. The villa has been lovingly restored by its current owners, blending striking original features with carefully considered contemporary enhancements. The property features a double-fronted Bath stone façade, a showpiece staircase, and a range of period charm and characterful rooms, including a formal drawing room, music room, and kitchen/dining room. The Coach House offers additional accommodation and potential income-generating opportunities. The gardens and grounds are truly special, offering extraordinary peace and privacy, with a formal terrace, wildlife pond, and mature borders. The property has been comprehensively upgraded by the current owners, including full rewiring, replumbing, and a new gas-fired heating system.
