3 bed cottage for sale

Market Place, Nunney, Frome, Somerset BA11

Dating from around 1870, Sunday Cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to blend contemporary comfort with its original period charm. Formerly a village bakery, it retains unique character features, including the original bread hatch, now creatively repurposed as a feature bar. The front door opens into a welcoming sitting room with sisal flooring and a wrought iron open fireplace, creating a cosy focal point. This leads through to a living room, again with a fireplace, along with a discreet cupboard housing internet connections and wine storage. The kitchen/breakfast room, designed by Plain English, is beautifully appointed with a flagstone floor, baby La Canche range cooker, double Belfast sink and central island with excellent storage. A pantry provides well-organised utility space, alongside a boot room and WC.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with a generous walk-in wardrobe and the other featuring a wrought iron fireplace and access to the attic for additional storage. The principal bedroom sits quietly to the rear with fitted wardrobes, shutters and an ensuite shower room. A stylish family bathroom includes a roll-top bath and separate marble shower. The attic has been recently insulated and treated.

To the front, the cottage enjoys an attractive setting, with neatly clipped box hedging, potted planting and a charming façade that enhances its kerb appeal within this historic village street.

To the rear, a low-maintenance courtyard garden is laid with stone paving, providing an inviting space for outdoor dining and entertaining. There is room for seating and a barbecue, along with practical storage for logs and bins. A timber gate at the far end opens onto a quiet lane running alongside the cottage, providing access towards the neighbouring farm. The lane is primarily used as a pedestrian route by villagers, adding to the cottage's peaceful and community-focused setting.

Sunday Cottage is situated in the picturesque village of Nunney, approximately 4 miles from the vibrant market town of Frome. Frome offers a wide range of supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants, and the well-regarded arts and events venue, The Cheese and Grain, as well as a popular monthly artisan market attracting emerging traders and artists.

Nunney itself has a strong community atmosphere, with amenities including The George public house and the historic parish church of All Saints. Opposite the cottage lies the Market Place, providing parking and a convenient Spar shop. The village is also home to Nunney Castle, a striking moated medieval castle dating from the 1370s, with attractive views towards its walls from the property.
