**Guide price - £540,000 - £550,000** This four-storey period home has a layout that's hard to find. It works for family. It works for guests. It offers the opportunity to create a rental space. And it still feels like one home. Dating from the 1700s and once part of the Longleat Estate, the house offers over 2,000 sq ft of genuinely flexible living space. Step inside and you'll feel that space right away. This isn't just rooms spread across four floors. It's two full living areas, each with its own kitchen, one on the ground floor, one right at the top. It's a layout that can change with you, whether your needs stay the same or evolve over the years. The main living space is warm and full of character. A sitting room with a wood-burning stove leads through to a large dining room, big enough to double as a fifth bedroom or space for a dependent relative. The practical galley kitchen is designed for everyday living, while below, the cellar is set up as a practical laundry and storage area with space for washing, drying and everyday essentials. It also has all the makings of an excellent wine cellar for those who enjoy entertaining. On the first floor you'll find three bedrooms, two with en-suites, and a family bathroom. This floor sits between the two living areas, giving each one real separation and privacy. At the top of the house, you'll discover where this home really comes into its own. With its own kitchen, dining space, separate sitting room and an additional room that offers even more flexibility, this floor feels almost like a home within a home. It's easy to imagine older children enjoying their own space, welcoming family and friends for extended stays, or creating the foundations of a future rental space. Outside, gardens to the front and rear give you room to sit out, plant, or simply enjoy a little fresh air. The original stone wash house also offers exciting potential to become a studio, home office or creative workspace, subject to the necessary consents. Life here isn't just about the house. You're just a 7-minute walk from Frome town centre, with its independent shops, cafés and weekly market. Frome railway station offers direct services to Bath, Bristol and London Paddington, while well-regarded primary and secondary schools are close by. Homes like this don't come up often. It's not just a bigger period home. It's a home that's ready for whatever comes next.
