What if the school run, a quiet place to work and a sunny garden all fitted into the same easy routine?

Set within a small, established development in Bitton, this three-bedroom home has been finished to a high standard and gives family life room to unfold, indoors and out.

It has been finished to a high standard throughout, with a south-facing garden that becomes part of daily life when the weather is warm.

Mornings can begin with a short walk to the local school before returning to a kitchen diner that works just as well for a working lunch as it does for family meals.

The separate lounge gives everyone somewhere to settle together in the evening. It is a layout with a clear purpose for each room, while still leaving space to adapt as routines change.

The house feels warm and comfortable in winter thanks to modern insulation and zoned heating, which lets you control the ground and first floors independently. In summer, the garden draws you outside.

Its southerly aspect gives you a sunny place for lunch, children’s play or time with friends later in the day.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while two further bedrooms offer space for children, guests or working from home.

A family bathroom and downstairs cloakroom help with busy mornings. The boarded loft provides useful storage, and there are two off-street parking spaces.

The timber cabin in the garden is currently used as a children’s playroom.

It gives toys and activities a space of their own, separate from the main house, and offers flexibility for another use as family life changes.

Bitton puts countryside walks, village pubs and local schools close to home, while Bristol and Bath remain within easy reach.

For the owners, it is the friendly community within the development that will be hardest to leave: The familiar faces and the feeling of being settled here
