Toghill Lane, Doynton, South Gloucestershire, BS30

This beautifully presented five-bedroom detached Cotswold stone home, built in 2006 in a traditional style, features enclosed gardens to the front and rear and off-road parking. It is located in the heart of the picturesque village of Doynton on the lower slopes of the Cotswolds close to the National Trust’s Dyrham Park, the setting to many period dramas. Surrounded by beautiful countryside yet within easy reach of both Bath and Bristol, and only six miles from Junction eighteen of the M4, this property offers a country lifestyle with great convenience. Laid out over two floors, the entrance hallway leads to a light-filled front-to-back sitting room with double door garden access, a spacious double-aspect kitchen/diner with doors leading to the garden, and a utility room. The first floor is arranged with five bedrooms, the largest having an en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom. The vendors have made some recent updates to the property, including fitting new carpets and stone flooring in the hallway, updating the plumbing and heating, and fully decorating inside and out. ‘We wanted to live in a quiet small village close to Bristol and Bath, within proximity to great schools, health clubs, and good pubs and restaurants. This house ticked all the boxes,’ say the owners. Set within a friendly village community, they add, ‘It’s a great place to get involved should you wish – new people are very welcome to help out with the fete and apple picking in the community orchard.’ With a cricket pitch, park, countryside walks on the doorstep, and excellent equestrian facilities in the area, this is an excellent home from which to enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. ‘The house is well insulated, cosy, comfortable, and low maintenance – it also has the quietest heating system ever!’ ‘We love the large family kitchen/diner, which includes space to seat eight or ten around the table, and a comfortable seating area.’ ‘The rear garden is secluded and sunny from early morning through most of the day. The lovely front garden, which gets sun from midday, is also a favourite spot.’ ‘There is a local WhatsApp group which is good for keeping up to date with local issues as well as help and advice.’ ‘We will miss the convenience of the location, the lovely local people, the welcoming house, The Cross House pub, and all the wonderful walks the area has to offer.’ Additional Information: Postcode: BS30 5SY Local Authority: South Gloucestershire.
