The Average Value of a Frome Terrace / Town House
Frome's classic terraces and smart town houses are the backbone of the town. Over the last twelve months they changed hands at an average of £328,994 . That is the average price paid. By definition, half of sales were below that figure and half were above. This covers everything from older terraces near the centre to newer town houses on modern estates on the outskirts.
What pushes a home above the average is usually a mix of street, condition, parking, garden, EPC, layout, and the simple feel of the place. An ensuite bathroom, a decent kitchen, and a nice garden often make a clear difference. Homes close to schools, transport links, and everyday shops tend to draw a wider pool of buyers.
