Situation

Nestled within an unspoilt rural hamlet surrounded by beautiful countryside, Tolzey House occupies an exceptional position overlooking and owning the picturesque village green, with views across to the historic 12th Century village cross and the charming St Margaret's Church. Dating back to the 16th Century, the house was originally built as the toll house on the historic route between Bath and Bristol, adding a fascinating layer of heritage to this idyllic setting. The thriving village hall hosts a variety of community events throughout the year, fostering a wonderful sense of village life. Despite its peaceful, quintessential English setting, the property enjoys excellent connectivity, lying just 10 miles from Bath Spa Station and 5 miles from Bristol Temple Meads, both offering mainline rail services. Both cities benefit from outstanding schools, colleges and universities plus extensive shopping and leisure facilities. Nearby Keynsham provides a comprehensive range of everyday amenities, including its own railway station, while Bristol Airport is also easily accessible.
