Stone Lane, Bristol, BS36

Life here moves at an easy village pace. Mornings usually begin in the kitchen diner, coffee in hand, light shifting across the garden through the French doors. The house sits slightly raised, which quietly changes how it feels to live in. Every window looks out to something open, fields, sky, trees, the viaduct in the distance and because nothing presses in from front or back, there’s a real sense of space around you.

The kitchen is where most days naturally gather. It was redesigned to be used properly, not just admired, with room to cook, talk, work from the breakfast bar, and watch the garden at the same time.

The living room, by contrast, is where evenings settle. Parquet flooring underfoot, log burner lit, the kind of calm that makes you reach for a book or put a film on without thinking about it. In winter the fire and new boiler keep everything steady and warm; in summer the house stays bright and airy thanks to the generous windows and easy airflow.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are well balanced and genuinely usable. The third comfortably takes a double bed and has worked well as a home office, supported by fast Virgin broadband and good phone signal. One of the rooms looks straight out across the valley toward the river and grazing horses, a view the current owners say they’ll never quite replace.

The loft is already boarded, insulated, and lit, making storage simple and leaving future extension potential there if ever needed.

Outside, the garden feels private without being closed in. Mature planting, fruit trees, raised beds, and a pergola wrapped in wisteria and honeysuckle give it shape and colour through the seasons. It’s an easy place to spend time rather than a demanding one. Deer pass through now and then. The front garden is just as carefully kept, and there’s a driveway, garage, log store, and EV charger already in place. Solar panels with battery storage help keep day-to-day running straightforward.

The setting plays a big part in daily life. The road itself is quiet and neighbourly. The River Frome is a short walk in either direction, and the Frome Valley Walkway is close when you want a longer stretch of green. Daisy’s in Winterbourne is the regular coffee stop. The Golden Heart at Winterbourne Down is within walking distance for an evening out. Families locally often mention St Michael’s, Elm Park, Hambrook, and Winterbourne Academy. Bristol Parkway is about ten minutes by car when London or the city calls.

It’s a home that feels settled, light, and quietly connected to its surroundings. The sellers say it’s the stillness, the views, and the neighbours they’ll miss most.
