8 bedroom detached house for sale

Rooms

MAGNIFICENT SPACE
Built approximately 24 years ago, the Paddock has been home to the current owners for 21 years. During that time, they have made it their own, carrying out a major loft conversion, redecorating and replacing bathrooms and kitchens. The property already incorporated an annexe. This has been upgraded by the owners, transforming it into even larger, more flexible accommodation that is suitable for work, leisure purposes and guest accommodation.

GLORIOUS SUNSHINE
The handsome house is set in beautiful, mature gardens. The main accommodation is accessed via a porch and central reception hall, where there is a downstairs cloakroom. Double doors then lead into the grand dining hall, which has French windows onto the garden and flows easily into the kitchen breakfast room and sitting room. There is also access to a useful study and the family room, which is part of the annexe. The back of the house is south-facing and there are French windows on that side from the kitchen, dining room and family room. “This is lovely all year round as the sun comes streaming in. In the summer months, the doors open and one can sit outside having breakfast or lunch in the sunshine.”

BESPOKE KITCHEN
The sitting room is a splendid, triple-aspect space, with an inglenook fireplace housing a Clearview wood burning stove. French windows give on to the front garden and wood decking area, making this another superb space for all seasons. This is a fabulous room for family gatherings, especially at Christmas. The exquisite bespoke, country-style kitchen, where there is an electric Aga and ample space for a farmhouse table, is large enough for casual meals while also being well located for the dining hall. This was beautifully designed, finished and fitted by bespoke furniture maker David James Kitchens. A utility room with the exact same design adjoins the main kitchen. The annexe kitchen has also been refitted – this is smaller and has a more modern style.

EASY LIVING
The family room has another Clearview wood burner stove, making this a cosy room on cold winter days in which to relax. On the first floor of the house, bedrooms fan off a gorgeous galleried landing. There is a substantial master suite with an en-suite bathroom and built-in wardrobes. Another bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while two additional bedrooms share the family bathroom.

FAMILY HOME
The annexe, which has the family room, kitchen and a cloakroom downstairs, encompasses two first-floor bedrooms and a shower room. On its second storey, there is another smaller bedroom, as well as a long bedroom or living space and a good-sized bathroom. This bathroom and the family bathroom were refitted by Bell of Northampton two years ago and feature Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware. The house has been greatly enjoyed by three generations of the family who have greatly enjoyed living here in Shenley Church End. . The owners are only moving now because they are relocating. “We will miss both the house and the convenience of the location. Milton Keynes has pretty much everything you need on your doorstep, and then you can come home and close the gates behind you.”

SETTING THE SCENE
The house is set in immaculate lawned gardens, with areas of mature trees and planting. There is a generous terrace for entertaining and a triple garage that the current owners use as a games room. The driveway, which provides ample off-road parking, is gated.
