5 bedroom detached house

AMAZING SPACE
The five-bedroom property had been the show home on the exclusive development and appealed to them for its size and layout, as well as the space all around it. “We asked for a wooden floor downstairs and carpets upstairs, as well as a separate dining and drawing room as that suited our lifestyle better,” she remembers. “With young children, we wanted to be able to have rooms that could be closed off from each other.” Since then, they have updated bathrooms and kept the house feeling bright and fresh throughout. “We went on to have a third child and the space here has always been more than enough for us,” she adds.

FLEXIBLE LIVING
Set back with a large driveway and double garage, the property is entered from the front via a central reception hall. To the right is a room that was originally a study. “My husband worked from here at one time but he now uses one of the bedrooms as his office and this room has become a cloakroom – with older children who have lots of shoes, bags and coats, this has been perfect for us,” she observes. Opposite is the very large drawing room and then the dining room (or family room) that has French windows on to the garden. The dining room adjoins the spacious kitchen breakfast room, which, in turn connects to the utility room. There is also a ground-floor cloakroom.

ENTERTAINING AT HOME
The easy flow between the downstairs spaces has not only been ideal for family life, giving everyone the opportunity to spread out and enjoy individual pursuits, as well as to gather together, but has also been superb for entertaining. “We have had many fabulous occasions here over the years,” she remembers. “There was one time when we had all the children and parents from school here and even had a small bouncy castle inside the house!”

GENEROUS BEDROOMS
The second floor of the house encompasses the very large master bedroom and its generous en-suite bathroom, plus two more bedrooms and the family bathroom. Two additional, sizeable bedrooms and another shower room are on the third floor of the house. All the bedrooms are double in size. “The master bedroom is airy and open and its bathroom looks out over the garden and is very private,” she says. “When the children were younger, we had a playroom on the top floor, which was ideal as they would go up there to play as soon as they were awake. They were able to use the bathroom up there to wash their brushes if they’d been painting. As the children got older, these rooms became their bedrooms and they were able to enjoy their privacy as teenagers.” She adds: “Subject to the relevant planning permissions, there could even be scope to extend the property further, building out over the garage or converting it into an annexe perhaps.”

HAPPY DAYS
Life in Milton Keynes has also worked out well for the family. They have been pleased with the schools, proximity to shops and other amenities, and excellent road and transport connections. “The children have enjoyed being close to places like Woburn Safari Park and Snozone, and we like being able to go for long walks to beautiful locations, such as Woughton on the Green,” she says. “We will miss all of this when we leave as we are now having to relocate back to London.” She adds: “This has been a very happy home – and it is somewhere people always comment on when they step inside as it has such a nice feel about it.”
