5 bedroom detached house

Why buy this home?

Newport Pagnell is one of the most sought after areas in the borough of Milton Keynes due to its vibrant High Street with independent restaurants and pubs, along with impressive schooling. Due to its history, there are few homes within walking distance to the lifestyle the High Street offers that have a modern, family -orientated layout that meets the demands of 21st Century living. This home not only offers all of the above, but it further presents an opportunity to put your own stamp on it by changing the top floor layout or converting the double garage.

In our opinion a entrance hallway can make or break a family home as you want to feel welcomed and at ease as soon as you step foot through the door. Being central and wide means this entrance hall is comfortable when welcoming guests and removing the coats and shoes of little ones, while the luxury vinyl tiled flooring makes it easy to wipe clean muddy paw prints. On the right hand side of the hallway is the extremely comfortable study which could also double up as a downstairs double bedroom if required.

To the left of the hallway is access to the living room. At 4 metres wide (approx.) it ensures the chimney breast doesn't encroach too much into the room, leaving plenty of space for bulky furniture so you can host the whole family. The feature log burner is a joy in winter months and makes this large space feel more cosy. Doors lead to the dining area of the impressive kitchen/diner which stretches the width of the house. The perfect entertaining space, this room wouldn't feel out of place in a brand new home. Shaker-style units and a porcelain sink are hints that the owners have been sympathetic to the surrounding area when selecting the finishing touches throughout the house. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, eye-level double oven and six-ring gas hob, whilst there is also space for a freestanding washing machine.

An outside dining area with a pergola and awning has been created directly off the inside dining area, offering the ideal spot for alfresco dining. The garden has been separated into areas meaning there is something for everyone. The shingled area next to the dining area is easy to maintain and somewhere to grow potted plants. The fenced off lawn area is the perfect place for children to play or for sun-loungers, whilst the extensive patio doubles up as a driveway for up to four vehicles or could be an additional area for seating should you not have four vehicles. Access to the patio/driveway is provided by secure double gates, and at the back is a detached double garage which is ideal for storage or could be converted to further living space (stpp) in the form of a home office or annexe.

On the first floor are three impressive bedrooms. The master bedroom is nearly 200 sq. ft on its own, and is at the back of the house so benefits from lovely views over the Victorian roof tops towards the High Street. Its size is even more impressive when you consider that it has substantial built-in wardrobes, freeing up ample floor space either side and at the bottom of the bed. An ensuite was installed this year, which is fully tiled and has a walk-in shower. The double bedroom next to the master is the size you'd expect from a master bedroom in a new build home, and being the third bedroom puts into perspective how generous the bedrooms are in this wonderful home. Even the smallest room on this floor is larger than the average double bedroom being 128 sq. ft (approx.), but also benefits from a large storage cupboard which also has plumbing providing the opportunity to create another ensuite. This floor is completed by a family bathroom which follows the theme of the bedrooms in being very generous in size. The bath has a rainfall showerhead, there is a heated towel rail and as the combi boiler is also in this room it means you can control the hot water temperature when having a relaxing bath.

The top floor offers the possibility to convert the space to suit your family's needs. Currently there is a large bedroom with a smaller second room which could be used as a study. However, as there is also a separate WC, this room could be turned in to yet another ensuite creating a private space on the top floor for an older child. Alternatively, two separate bedrooms could easily be created or even a further reception room such as a games room or home cinema.
