Property description
Why buy this home?
As you step inside, a spacious hallway welcomes you and sets the tone for this bright and versatile family home. At the front of the house, the living room is a square layout, offering plenty of flexibility when it comes to arranging furniture. Separate from the kitchen/family room, it provides a cosy retreat, the perfect spot to curl up on the sofa for relaxed evenings or movie nights with the family.
Back in the hallway, you’ll find a convenient cloakroom, which is tiled and leads through to the impressive open-plan kitchen/family room. This space is perfect for everyday family life and also lends itself to entertaining larger groups. Designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind, this light-filled space is the true heart of the home. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with natural light, while the contemporary kitchen is fitted with sleek white gloss units, a contrasting black worktop, and a full range of integrated appliances, including a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, gas hob, and double oven with built-in microwave. A well-positioned breakfast bar, complete with a sink, provides seating for up to four, perfect for morning coffees or casual family breakfasts. Thanks to its generous proportions, this versatile room easily accommodates a six-seater dining table alongside a welcoming snug area, creating the ideal space for relaxing, dining, and spending time together. Double doors open directly onto the rear garden. Being set on a corner plot, the garden enjoys a high degree of privacy and is not overlooked. Two patio areas provide ample space for outdoor seating, making it an excellent spot for summer gatherings with family and friends. From here, you also have access to the garage, which the current owners have partially converted into a home gym and office. Being a tandem garage, there remains ample space to securely store a car if required. A separate utility room offers space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, with a back door providing convenient access to the driveway, perfect for unloading shopping. From the kitchen.
Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms. The master suite is particularly impressive, featuring a dressing area with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, space for a super-king bed with bedside tables, and a modern en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are both doubles with built-in wardrobes, while bedroom four is a comfortable single, currently used as a home office but equally suited as a child’s bedroom. These are served by the family bathroom.
To the front, there is tandem parking for two vehicles in front of the garage, with further off-road parking available.
More about the location...
Tattenhoe and Tattenhoe Park are adjacent districts of Milton Keynes in the ancient parish of Tattenhoe. It is located at the south-western edge of the city, not far from the ruins of Snelshall Priory. It contains Howe Park Wood, one of England's few remaining primeval woodlands, and home to a wide variety of wildlife.
The village was abandoned in the 16th century and had its own moated manor house and church (1540, perhaps 12th century). By the time redevelopment began, it consisted of just three farms and St. Giles's Church, but was recognised as a village rather than a hamlet.
The village also has the Tattenhoe Sports Pavilion, which is run by InspireAll (formerly Hertsmere Leisure) in partnership with the Milton Keynes Council. They offer the temporary home of Westcroft Library, as well as a lounge area next to the cafe and bar on site. The pavilion also has legacy playing fields, an astro turf available for hire, a meeting room available for hire and free parking on site.
Tattenhoe Valley Park is a delightful place for a walk, cycle or horse ride, with plenty of wildlife to enjoy in the necklace of ponds splashing over rocks and providing a fantastic habitat for insect, bird and waterlife. The Milton Keynes boundary line is close by where you can walk on the bridleway towards Whaddon and Hazeley Woods.
Primary education is provided by Howe Park School (which has an Outstanding Ofsted report), Priory Rise (Primary and Junior School) and Secondary Education is provided by Shenley Brook End School or The Hazeley Academy. You are also in the catchment for Buckingham and Aylesbury Grammar schools.
There is a local Co op in Kingsmead and Westcroft shopping district is close by, has a Morrisons, Aldi and boots. There are also fast-food chains, McDonald’s, Tim Hortons and KFC.
