Is it correct to say ' It is 5 minutes walking distance from my home'
I asked my friend to go to a swimming pool near my house together. and my friend asked me how far it is from my home and I wanted to say 'It just takes 5 minutes on foot (by walking) from my home.
Can I also say ' It is 5 minutes walking distance from my home'?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance!

A more natural and simpler way to say this is:
'It's five minutes' walk from my home'.
or
'It's a five-minute walk from my home.'
