Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

A comfortable relaxed home located in fantastic countryside but with easy access to the cosmopolitan town of Bristol, the ancient and pretty little city of Wells and the historic World Heritage site of Bath; just over an hour's drive to Stonehenge and 1hr 30mins by train to London.

Our family home is a recently extended and modernised former bungalow. The house has four double bedrooms; one with en-suite shower and toilet, and one sited on the ground floor. There is a comfortable sitting room and a sunroom that we use as a second sitting room. We also have a study with PCs and printer and a handy large cloakroom with toilet and coat/shoe storage. There are plenty of Xbox and PlayStation games, plus lots of board games and toys for all ages. We also have a basement laundry room with gardener's toilet and outside access. A cot or cot-bed and other baby equipment such as potties, highchairs etc. are available if required.

The gardens are extensive, mostly let to grass, with a summer house, sun terraces and a swimming pool (heated in spring and summer) approx 7.5 x 4 m, 1.5 m at the deep end.

We have home and car exchanged many times and are looking for a new adventure, so would consider swapping with almost anything.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Temple Cloud is a very small village surrounded by farmland and approximately 10 miles away from Bristol, Bath and Wells and a little further to Glastonbury. The rear of our property overlooks open countryside and the Mendip hills, and there are many country walks on our doorstep. A new children's play area and recreation park is a short walk away in the village. There is a professional standard golf course, where visiting players are welcome, just down the road in Farrington Gurney.

Attractions

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

The rear of our property overlooks open countryside and the Mendip hills, and there are many country walks on our doorstep. The historic cities of Bath and Wells, and the busy city of Bristol are all about 20 minutes drive away. A little further afield (about 35 minutes) is the famous town of Glastonbury, with it's many alternative shops. A trip to the breathtaking village and caves of Cheddar Gorge is highly recommended. The 'fish and chips' beach resort of Weston super Mare is about 45 minutes drive away. Day trips can easily be made to Stonehenge and Longleat Safari Park, whilst London is under two hours by train from Bristol.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

Ours is a relaxed family home with plenty of easy-to-clean tiled floors on the ground floor for when you come in with muddy walking boots. We only ask that care is taken when using the kitchen, to avoid damaging the surfaces. There is a shelter on the decking where you can admire the fantastic view without getting wet. We do have a cat who will spend his holidays away in a pet lodge so you only need to be concerned if your family has a cat allergy. We have accepted well behaved dogs in the past, the rear garden is enclosed and there are many walks (countryside rules apply).
