I'm surprised Warmley is cheaper than Bath. Longwell Green, Keynsham maybe, but Warmley?

Anyway, from what I have seen of of the place I like it. Beware though, the council want to build extensively on green belt land in that area:

...you don't want to buy a nice place with a view only to find a couple of years down the line they slap a housing association blot on it.

As to commuting, you'll have to offset what you save by what it costs to commute, both finacially and emotionally. I moved to Keynsham for the very same reasons to commute to Bristol and sometimes I wish I had just bought a small place near the centre instead. Despite being geographically close it can take an hour each way due to general congestion. And Firstbus are rip-off merchants-you'll be looking at circa £4.00 each every day, even on the P&R.

Parking is equally expensive. NCP is about £8.00 per day. I think it's about the same in Bath e.g. Charlotte Street.

Best of luck.

Keynsham is cleanly divided into the posh bit East of the Wellsway Road (dubbed 'Wellsway area' by estate agents) and the ahem, not so posh bit on the west side. Wellsway is expensive, like Saltford and Bath, the other side is cheaper. TBH though if you're looking for 'nice' perhaps you'd best stick with Warmley if you can afford it.

Hi i lived in Warmley till recently and still have connections in the area so can give u bit of advice. As of the area ive always found it a nice quiet place to live on direct bus route 319 to bath. they run every hour mon-sat. also good links to bristol on the no,s 41and 43 every 10 mins daytime - 15-20mins evenings. Good access for shops 2 tesco expresses and asda up at longwell green not far away. any other advice u need let me know!

Cheers Big G, thats exactly the kind of info I was looking. Should be driving by the time we move, but bus details were what I needed.

Many thanks
