The Butts sits right in the heart of Frome, giving residents a walkable town centre along with a railway station and good road links via the A361 and A37. It's a settled, well-connected spot that works whether you're commuting to Bath and Bristol or working from home. In fact, around a third of residents do the latter, which says a lot about the relaxed, flexible lifestyle on offer here. Schools are a strong point across the surrounding neighbourhoods, with Hayesdown, Selwood Academy, Vallis First School, St Louis Catholic Primary, Leigh on Mendip School and All Hallows all rated Good by Ofsted. Crime runs below the national average throughout the area and has been falling year on year, while air quality stays consistently good. Day-to-day life is well catered for too, with a decent spread of pubs, cafés, restaurants and shops, plus solid GP and dentist coverage. Housing options vary depending on which direction you look. Flats in Frome East and West offer more affordable entry points, with prices starting around £183,500, while detached homes further out in Mendip Central and East climb to £637,900. Rents across the area stay more affordable than in neighbouring Bath and North East Somerset, making The Butts a good-value choice for families and professionals wanting small-town charm with easy access to bigger cities.
