Marksbury is a sought after village location. Polmear has a desirable position in the heart of the village away from main road traffic and close to the popular village primary school, parish church and community hall. The village is in the catchment area of Wellsway School at Keynsham and has a convenience store and petrol station for day to day shopping while a wider range of amenities are available at the nearby town of Keynsham which has a Waitrose food store. The village is on the edge of the Chew Valley with its renowned recreational facilities and the cities of Bristol and Bath are within easy commuting distance.

In all a rare opportunity presents itself to acquire a property of character and quality but without the higher maintenance costs associated with an older property.
