Location 

The village of Timsbury is such a highly regarded village to call home. The community is renowned for its friendly and active society. Viewers often comment to me how warming it is wandering around the village. There is a bounty of commercial outlets, nearly town like, so the village has more than most, such as Supermarkets, Cafes, Public House, Doctors Surgery, Chemist, Herbal shop, Hair Dressers, Theatre Club, Village Hall, Cycling Club, St Mary Church, Football, Cricket clubs and so much more.

Located between the cities of Bath and Bristol, with Wells a little further the other way its a great base for those wanting the calmness of rural living yet easily connectable to the larger conurbations. There are frequent Buses and nearby in Keynsham the train Station. You can be at Bristol Airport within 45 minutes. Heading west you are on the door step to the Mendip hills, Chew Valley and everything the coveted South West has to offer.

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture
