Glance to your left and you’ll see the self contained annexe with a fabulous deck, perfect for summer entertaining.
But you certainly wouldn’t expect the grounds to measure 2.7 acres in total and include two lakes and a well stocked orchard!
The gorgeous grounds include a choice of places to sit out and enjoy the sunshine.
There’s a south facing formal garden at the rear of the house or you could head down to “Rose Retreat”. It's the perfect summer hangout spot, with an outdoor kitchen equipped with a BBQ, pizza oven and power for fridges and your Bluetooth speakers.
The orchard, bursting with apples, blackcurrants, raspberries, and gooseberries, offers the chance to enjoy fresh, homegrown produce, ideal for making your own jam and preserves.
And if you do like baking or making your own jam you won’t find a more inspiring place to do so than the homely country kitchen.
It has the perfect blend of traditional charm and modern convenience. It ticks the period property boxes thanks to its exposed beams and Belfast sink, without compromising on worktop space or modern integrated appliances. There’s even room for an American style fridge freezer.
As you’d expect the kitchen really is the heart of this family home. There’s even a small snug off the kitchen where the kids can do their homework after school whilst you prepare them a meal.
If the kitchen is the social hub of the home, there’s a choice of reception rooms where everyone can slip off to escape and unwind in peace.
The main living room is another gorgeous room with a traditional feel, thanks to the exposed brickwork and beams and the Inglenook fireplace with a cosy log burner.
In sharp contrast to this there’s a substantial rear extension which is thoroughly modern. The two rooms are currently being used as a games room and gym but there’s no reason why one couldn’t become a formal dining room, if you’re a formal dining kind of family.
If you’re a multigenerational family, regularly welcome weekend guests or have a live-in au pair or nanny you’ll appreciate the self contained accommodation that has its own front door (but can also be accessed through the lounge).
It has a small lounge on the ground floor, with its own private staircase leading to an ensuite double bedroom upstairs.
The main first floor accommodation is accessed by climbing an impressive butterfly staircase from the hall.
The master bedroom features dual-aspect views of the beautiful grounds, with built-in storage, a vanity area and a luxurious en-suite bathroom.
There’s access through to the adjoining bedroom which will be perfect if as a nursery. Alternatively you could keep it for yourselves and use it as a truly opulent dressing room!
There’s also a stylish four piece family bathroom and a further two double bedrooms which are both spacious and comfortable.
The recently converted annexe is another versatile space, next to the practical utility room, home office and storage room.
With a large open plan lounge/kitchen, shower room and a bedroom, the annexe would be perfect as another self-contained living space. It would be ideal for accommodating guests or multigenerational living.
That said, with sliding doors giving access to a fantastic deck (with room for a hot tub!) you could use it like the current owners do and use it for entertaining.
Willow Farm is only a short walk from the centre of Ridgmont, a traditional and close-knit village.
It’s a quiet village with fewer than 500 residents but it does have the friendly Rose & Crown pub, along with the Lower School (rated “Good” by Ofsted).
There’s a choice of middle and secondary schools in nearby Woburn Sands and Bedford but many parents choose the excellent Harper Trust independent schools - the drive to the town centre campus taking less than 25 minutes.
For those needing to commute, the property is conveniently situated just five minutes drive from the M1 or it’s only a 20 minute drive to Milton Keynes Central where the journey to Euston takes half an hour.
Animal lovers will love living so close to Woburn Safari Park and thrill seekers will enjoy tackling the GoApe high ropes course - both are on the outskirts of the village.
Don’t miss the chance to make this unique property your own.
