Land for sale

Selwood, Frome BA11

A serviced parcel of land extending to 5.00 acres with pasture, ponds, woodland and equestrian facilities.

The Property

Available for the first time in over 25 years, the Land & Stables at Rodden Down offers the chance to secure 5.00 acres (2.02 hectares) near the market town of Frome. The land comprises productive pasture complete with a pond, pockets of established woodland, a well-equipped stable block with concrete yard, a generous hardstanding area for parking, and a small redundant menage. Carefully managed and cherished by the current owners, the land presents excellent scope for adaptation and enhancement to suit individual requirements, subject to the necessary consents.

Situation

The land lies approximately 2.1 miles southeast of the centre of Frome, a vibrant and historic market town renowned for its characterful architecture, creative community and independent shops. Excellent local road links connect the land to the wider region including the city of Bath which is 15 miles away and a 30 minute drive north.

The Land

Formerly known as Flintford Brickworks, the land lies in a sheltered, lower-lying position and is now predominantly permanent pasture with a wildlife pond forming a central focal point. Scattered pockets of willow add interest and create a tranquil setting. To the south, a small block of mixed broadleaf and coniferous woodland is complemented by an additional dew pond, enhancing both the setting and ecological value. The stable block, hardstanding area and small menage are positioned to the southwest and the boundaries are comprised of mature hedgerows and established poplar trees, creating a strong sense of enclosure and privacy.
