4 bed property for sale

The Homestead, Keynsham, Bristol BS31

The property comprises a detached house built in 1989 by David Wilson Homes enjoying a particularly good location at the head of a prestigious cul de sac just off Wellsway on the edge of Keynsham set in beautiful mature gardens. The house has been in the same ownership since new and has been tastefully updated over time and extended with a double glazed conservatory and enlarged kitchen. An ideal family home.

A particular feature of the property is the garden which has been significantly enlarged over time through the acquisition of adjacent plots and now extends to in excess of a quarter of an acre, lying mainly on the southern and western side of the house. It is an absolute tranquil oasis featuring a covered swimming pool and various useful garden buildings. The plot backs onto fields with a belt of trees beyond and views to the north along the Valley of the River Chew towards Keynsham.

The location on the edge of Keynsham enjoys the best of both worlds bordering open countryside yet with the Town Centre about 1.5 miles away (reachable by the 522 bus route from the nearby Wellsway) which has a range of day to day amenities and a railway station. There are neighbourhood shops at Chandag Road, under a mile away as is the Wellsway Academy Campus providing primary and secondary schooling. Bristol and Bath are readily commutable on a daily basis.
