% of homes built before 1911
Frome's property market tells a fascinating story when you look at it through the lens of housing age.
This map shows the percentage of homes in each part of Frome that were built before 1911. It offers a revealing glimpse into how the town developed over the last century and more.
The colours range from grey to deep red. Grey indicates areas where no homes existed before 1911. As the colour shifts from yellow through orange to deep red, the percentage of older housing increases. In other words, the redder the area, the more pre -1911 homes it contains.

The Hidden Cost of That Extra Bedroom
For many local Frome homeowners, the jump from a 2-bedroom to a 3-bedroom home marks a major life milestone — a growing family, the need for a home office, or simply the desire for more space. But how much does that next bedroom really cost?
I ran the numbers using regional averages, and the results are striking. On average, that third bedroom adds anywhere between £50,000 and £140,000 to the cost of a home, depending on where you live. While this data is based on broader regional trends, the local picture here in Frome tells its own story.

The data highlights how car ownership is the norm in most neighbourhoods, with many households relying on private transport for work, school, shopping and day-to-day life.
