So i'm not the most knowledgable on the technical/mechanic stuff, i upgraded some of the more basic things on my bike and do basic maintenance.

So i have a Fuji Addy 1.7 Woman's frame in xs (hardtail) and have upgraded a lot of the components because they were pretty poor as you would expect on a bike of its price. Its now got pretty decent spec on it for what i want from it, but i'm really wanting to go full suss now so i'm looking at if its possible to swap out the frame, keeping the components that i've changed.

I'm short! so something suitable to 5ft. I don't do anything overly taxing, a mix of trail centres and general forest rides. I don't want anything that i'm going to have to worry about though, i don't want anything too weedy thats not going to cope if i do want to hit some bigger stuff. Budget wise, ideally under £1000 but i can stretch for a prefect frame.

Some of the parts i'll be transferring over to the new frame are -

Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes
Shimano XT rear mech and shifters (10 rear gears, 3 front)
Shimano Altus front mech (came on the bike, still haven't decided if i'll go 1x or just upgrade this)
Rockshox TK 30 Gold 100m fork
Rockshox 125m Reverb non stealth

I'm looking to upgrade the wheels soon too, but they are 27.5.

If anybody has any suggestions of frames to look at, you all seem to know your stuff so your advice is much appreciated. All the ones i've looked at so far have been was above budget!
