3 bedroom detached house for sale

Why buy this home?

Standing at the size of a typical four bedroom house, this home offers a rare opportunity to move to one of the most popular areas in Milton Keynes and be only a few miles from Milton Keynes Train Station.

The layout of this home offers the opportunity to reconfigure to suit modern living with minimal effort, and the attached garage offers further scope to extend the downstairs space at minimal cost (stpp). For example, the kitchen, utility and dining room could be combined to create an open-plan kitchen/dining space, which could be further extended into the large conservatory or into the garage to create a showpiece kitchen/dining/family room. Have a large separate lounge the other side of the house also means you can still keep a private space for the family and use this larger space for entertaining friends/family.

The garden is south-east facing meaning you make the most of the sun in the morning, ensuring the kitchen and dining areas are sufficiently lit during breakfast time. There is a patio and raised lawn with decked area which is easy to maintain.

Upstairs, one of our favourite features are the arched picture windows in the master bedroom offering character seldom seen on newer homes in the area. This large room has an ensuite which also has the potential to be make larger by replacing the alcove which is designed for wardrobes. Due to the width of the room, wardrobes can easily be placed on the wall along the bed where you would traditionally expect to store them.

Both bedroom two and three are generous doubles which makes this home so multi-functional - rather than squeezing in a small token fourth bedroom, this house has much more practical spaces designed to make the home more comfortable. These two bedrooms are served by the family bathroom which also has a window.

Parking is provided by a gravel driveway which could potentially be widened by the removal of a tree.

More about the location...

Shenley Church End is a village, district and civil parish in Milton Keynes. Together with its neighbouring parish, Shenley Brook End and the districts of Shenley Wood and Shenley Lodge, the districts are collectively known as "The Shenleys".

The distinction between the Brook End and the Church End happened in the 12th century when a new manor house was constructed in Shenley Brook End by the Mansell family. However, by 1426 the two manors were owned by the same person and the distinction between the two places was in name only.

Shenley Church End is also home to the Shenley Toot, a 13th-century motte and bailey (of which only the motte remains), which was originally a home of the Earl of Chester and is now a scheduled ancient monument.

Today, the historic village is the core of the new district that bears its name.

The district contains Denbigh School (a secondary comprehensive), Glastonbury Thorn First School, a nursery in the former village school, and Shenley Church End Pre-School (situated in the Shenley Leisure Centre).

The Leisure Centre beside the secondary school includes a sports hall, gym, squash courts and outdoor football/tennis courts, as well as the Sportsman's Rest bar.

The local retail centre opposite (south of) the school and Leisure Centre is a shopping area consisting of a fish and chip shop, a pharmacy, a cafe, a gym, a barber shop, a bike shop, a bookmaker, a charity shop, a Chinese restaurant, a pharmacy, a medical practice and a dental surgery.

In June 2014, Sainsbury's opened new supermarket opposite (east of) the Leisure Centre, on the site of the former Dolphin Splashdown swimming pool.
