Broad Lane, Bristol, BS37

Tucked just off Broad Lane, on the edge of Iron Acton village and a short hop from Engine Common and Yate, this is a house that suits busy family life without making a fuss about it.

Mornings begin around the dining table in the open plan living space. School bags on chairs. Toast on the go. Then the day settles into its rhythm, with toys spread across the living area and someone always drifting back to the kitchen. It’s a ground floor that’s open, but thoughtfully zoned, so everyone can be together without being on top of one another.

The bi-fold doors stretch across the back of the house and draw the light in. With a south facing garden, the main living space feels bright even on grey days. In summer, the doors fold back and the house breathes. Air moves easily through. The composite deck becomes an extra room, morning coffee outside, children playing on the lawn, long evenings with friends and something cold in hand. You don’t back onto another house, which gives the garden a surprising sense of privacy for a modern setting.

In winter, it’s a different kind of comfort. Doors closed, heating on, everyone gathered on the sofa for a Netflix series. Gas central heating keeps the whole house consistently warm. It’s a modern build, so there are no cold corners to navigate. Water pressure is strong, broadband and mobile signal are reliable, and day-to-day running feels straightforward and manageable.

The layout works particularly well for a growing family or for those working from home. The top floor is given over entirely to the main bedroom, tucked away, quiet, with its own en-suite. It’s a proper retreat at the end of the day. On the first floor, three further bedrooms and the family bathroom give children or guests their own space. If you work from home, you’re not limited to one spot; the light and proportions mean you can settle where it suits you.

Outside, parking sits immediately in front of the house, along with a garage with power and lighting. There’s also an EV charger already installed. Practical, easy, ready for modern life.

The location quietly does a lot of heavy lifting. Engine Common Lane is nearby for dog walks and open countryside. Yate Shopping Centre is close enough for daily errands. Chipping Sodbury’s historic high street, with its independent coffee shops and places to eat, is just a little further on. The Fox sits almost on your doorstep for an easy supper. You’re on the edge of village life in Iron Acton, but with the convenience of Yate and access towards Bristol when you need it.

It’s a small rank of houses, with a friendly feel. Modern, low maintenance, and uncomplicated.
