Why buy this home?
Having been rented for a number of years, this vacant home has been maintained by the landlord at considerable expense meaning an new owner can have the peace of mind that there shouldn't be any unexpected surprises.
As you approach the home the first thing that will catch your eye is the solar panels on the roof. These are fully owned by the property and we have been advised by the owner that these currently produce on average income of £1,200 per year over the last 5 years on top of using the electricity generated that the house uses for free. This is a great benefit to those who worry about rising energy bills.
As the front door is central to the house, the downstairs layout is split relatively 50/50. To one side is a kitchen/diner which has several relatively new appliances - the fridge and dishwasher were replaced in 2024, the tumble dryer in 2022, the freezer in 2021 and hob in 2019. There is also a utility room that houses the boiler which has been serviced annually. There are sliding doors which lead to the relatively private rear garden which has a paid and is laid to lawn. There is side access to the garage making it ideal if you wanted to storage an extra chest freezer or garden equipment.
The other side of downstairs is the generous living room which is large enough for a variety of layouts. The carpets throughout the house were replaced in 2024 meaning this room just needs to be decorated to your taste to feel like home. Downstairs is completed by a WC.
Upstairs are four bedrooms. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an ensuite of which the shower was replaced in 2024, and pump in 2023. The second bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes. The third and fourth bedroom are served by the family bathroom. The taps and sinks in both bathrooms were updated in 2019, and even the immersion heater in the airing cupboard was replaced in 2022.
All in all, this home offers the opportunity for a family to put their own stamp with the knowledge that the majority of expensive upgrades have already been taken care of.
More about the location...
Wavendon Gate falls under the Walton Civil Parish and borders the village of Wavendon. It is mainly a residential area which contains Wavendon Gate junior school, cricket green and pavilion for recreational activities.
The village of Wavendon is best known today for being the location of the Stables Theatre live music venue, and the 'Wavendon All-music Plan' music summer schools. The venue is the brainchild of the late Sir John Dankworth and his wife, Dame Cleo Laine (who continues to live in the village).
It lies adjacent to the village of Woburn Sands. At the heart of the town is a thriving High Street extending into parts of Station Road and Aspley Hill. It offers a comprehensive range of shops and services, including several pubs and eating places and a Library housed in the Institute, one of the oldest buildings in the town. Within the community are three churches, schools, medical centre and dentist, and a considerable range of sporting and leisure activities and many local organisations as well as easy access by public transport to Milton Keynes City Centre and beyond.

About this agent
Lion Estates - Milton Keynes
314 Midsummer Boulevard
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
MK9 2UB
01908 951942Lion Estates is a team of estate agents offering the most personal service in the industry. Our goal is to cover our costs by adding value in the form of a higher sales price, better communication and reduce stress for our clients. We aim to be your chosen property professional for life, offering advice and support even when you're not looking to move home. A New Breed Of Estate Agent It's no secret that estate agents in the UK don't have the best reputation compared to other countries across the world... We believe this is down to the high transactional nature of the typical estate agency business model. The need to sell high levels of homes results in poor marketing, worse communication and under-performance which leaves clients feeling short-changed. The agent who values your home and wins your trust isn't the agent who shows potential buyers around your home and goes on to negotiate your sales price. This crucial task falls to the least experienced staff member, who more often than not knows nothing about your home and hopes the potential buyer will decide to offer full asking price off their own back. Don't blame the agent though; they are likely conducting viewings on 30 - 50 homes, such is their business model, so it's impossible for them to know every detail about every home. But the person it impacts the most is the person who is paying the agent's fee - you. This, however, is through choice and not necessity - there is a better way. Imagine a service designed around what's best for the client, always putting your needs first. A truly personal service tailored to the different needs of each client as, after all, everyone's reason for moving is different. Not only that but every home is different - even if you have the same house style as someone else on your street, no other home has the same plot, orientation and feel of your home. You and your home are unique, and we for one believe you deserve to be treated like it. The estate agency industry has failed to evolve over the last 40 + years. It has failed to keep up with the changing needs of clients as the world around us has changed rapidly. Finally that change has come - welcome to the era of the personal estate agent.
