Full Description: "Three highlights of living here: 1) Great for hosting. With spacious bedrooms and multiple bathrooms, hosting friends and family for New Year's gives everyone their own private space. 2) A peaceful oasis. Relaxing by the pond, spotting wildlife, watching garden birds, and picking fresh plums and gages from our fruit trees. 3) Perfect location. A serene setting within easy walking distance of Keynsham High Street and the station, with quick rail links to Bristol, Bath, and London."<br /><br />Home<br /><br />Set within a peaceful and beautifully established setting at the end of a quiet road, this impressive detached four-bedroom home offers a wonderful balance of space, privacy and practicality. Approached through an attractive east-facing front garden, the property enjoys far-reaching countryside views across open fields towards the hills beyond Bath, creating an immediate sense of openness and connection to the surrounding landscape. The position is particularly special, with no through traffic and a wonderfully quiet setting that feels both safe and secluded.<br /><br />Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hall finished with striking Mandarin Stone terracotta floor tiles sets the tone for what follows. The current owners have thoughtfully and comprehensively enhanced the property, including repainting the entire house in hardwearing Lick eggshell paint, installing high-quality brass ironmongery throughout and carefully curating interiors that feel both elegant and inviting. To the front of the property, a generous reception room provides a cosy retreat away from the main living spaces, offering flexibility as a formal sitting room, snug or playroom depending on your needs.<br /><br />At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen and dining room. Fully specified for modern family living, the kitchen features stone worktops, a double oven, induction hob, upgraded dishwasher, integrated fridge freezer, extractor fan and updated cabinetry hardware. Flooded with natural light, the room enjoys a seamless connection to the garden through bi-fold doors, creating an effortless flow between inside and out. Whether hosting friends, enjoying family meals or simply relaxing with views across the landscaped garden, it is a space designed to bring people together. A separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom, both finished with matching terracotta tiling, add further practicality to everyday life.<br /><br />The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, including two generous doubles, all served by a stylish family bathroom featuring both a separate bath and an upgraded waterfall shower. Occupying the entire top floor, the principal suite provides a peaceful sanctuary. Generous proportions, excellent storage and a beautifully appointed en-suite, also enhanced with a waterfall shower, create a private retreat away from the rest of the house.<br /><br />Thoughtfully improved and beautifully presented throughout, the property feels ready for its next chapter, combining high-quality finishes with flexible accommodation that can easily adapt as family life evolves. The property is freehold and benefits from an annual estate management charge of approximately £197, contributing towards the upkeep of the communal green spaces within the development. <br /><br />Outside<br /><br />The gardens are a particular feature of this home and have been architect-designed and professionally landscaped to create a series of inviting outdoor spaces. Enjoying a desirable west and south-west facing aspect, the rear garden benefits from superb afternoon and evening sunshine, making it an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply unwinding as the sun sets. French limestone paving creates elegant seating areas, while established planting, mature fruit trees and a tranquil pond bring colour, texture and wildlife to the space throughout the seasons.<br /><br />A particularly thoughtful feature is the shape of the garden, which allows for a discreet hidden yard area providing space for storage, bins and composting, keeping practical elements tucked neatly out of sight. The fences have been finished in exterior Lick paint to complement the interior colour palette, creating a seamless visual connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.<br /><br />The setting is equally impressive. Positioned beside Abbots Wood, the property offers immediate access to wonderful walking routes and abundant wildlife, while riverside walks lead towards Compton Dando and its much-loved village pub. Despite the peaceful surroundings, the location benefits from excellent connectivity, with straightforward access to the M4 and routes towards the South West without needing to navigate through either Bristol or Bath.<br /><br />Completing the picture is a garage with an electric door and driveway parking for two vehicles, offering valuable convenience alongside the generous internal and external space. Combining beautifully landscaped gardens, exceptional countryside views, high-specification upgrades and a peaceful setting, this is a home that offers a rare opportunity to enjoy both village-style tranquillity and contemporary family living.<br />Living in Keynsham<br /><br />Keynsham boasts a selection of highly regarded schools, making it a popular choice for families.
