4 Bedroom detached house ● Winstanley Lane, Shenley Lodge ● £680,000
The spacious house on Winstanley Lane, Shenley Lodge, is light and airy throughout, offering flexible family living and an array of contemporary lifestyle choices
Wandering through the house on Winstanley Lane, it is easy to see why the detached property was so appealing to its current owners some 23 years ago. Bought off-plan, it was not only attractive for its highly desirable Shenley Lodge location, within easy walking distance of Furzton Lake, but it also offered well-proportioned, bright, versatile family living space. “We had a young family at the time and we could see just how well it would work for us,” one of them recalls. “There was an extra reception room, which is now an office, that we knew at the time would make a great playroom. There was ample bedroom space for everyone and we could see it would also be a wonderful home for entertaining. After moving in, we enhanced it further by taking part of the sitting room into the kitchen, which has only served to make it an even better family home and party house.”
- SUMMER DAYS
- The work carried out to extend slightly and open up the whole back of the property still left the owners with a very good-sized sitting room. This is now a restful, airy room, which is filled with streaming sunshine on bright days. “There is still space in here for two large sofas and it is really useful to be able to open up or close off this room.” Double glass sliding doors open into the capacious kitchen, dining and family room, which in turn has three sets of bi-folding doors that can be opened onto the terrace during the warmer months. “You can now pull all the doors back on lovely sunny days, opening the house right up onto the garden.” This is ideal for barbecues, family gatherings and summer parties.
- TIMELESS KITCHEN
- The amazing kitchen, dining and family room has been designed to offer very distinct sections within a single open space. This means family members can be in different areas yet are still able to interact with each other. The bespoke kitchen area features exquisite wooden cabinetry, finished with dark granite work surfaces. There is ample food storage and preparation space. This includes a chic central island, housing a breakfast bar, as well as the oven and hob, which is not only perfect for casual dining but also for chatting to guests while cooking. “We also have a large dining table and a comfortable seating area within this sizeable room,” she explains. “It can be arranged to suit your own requirements and has a timeless finish.”
- A LIGHT TOUCH
- The study, which is to the front of the house, has been a versatile space over the years and is now a perfect place to work from home. “This is a good size – there is room in here for two desks.” Also downstairs, and accessed from the hall, is a cloakroom. All the accommodation is bathed in natural light. The current owners have enhanced this through their use of neutral shades in their décor. The bright ambience continues up on the first floor, where the bedrooms are all also light and airy.
- BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
- The first floor of the house offers four double bedrooms, The magnificent master suite already encompasses a beautiful bedroom, splendid dressing area and lovely en suite shower room with a double shower. The second bedroom offers a walk in wardrobe, which has been plumbed for an ensuite, if not completed “New owners could make all sorts of exciting enhancements upstairs if they wished. Subject to the relevant planning permissions, it would also be possible to go up into the loft,” the vendor comments.
- WORK, REST AND PLAY
- Already adding to the exceptional versatility of the house is the external studio space. This has been created within the former double garage and could be a perfect gym, teenagers’ den, hobby room or office. “This has electricity and very good loft space.” The garden has been a wonderful extension to the house, providing different areas for outdoor relaxation, entertaining and children to play. “New owners may well wish to put their own stamp on it – it is a lovely garden because there is sunshine out there all day long,” she observes. The space, the versatility and the convenient location – within easy reach of central Milton Keynes, schools and transport connections – have all combined to make the Winstanley Lane house an ideal home. “It is just perfect for a family,” she agrees. “I am sure the next people to live here will enjoy it for many different reasons.”
- Outside
- To the front of the house on Winstanley Lane, there is a charming, low-maintenance garden. To the rear, the garden has areas of terrace for sitting out in the sunshine. Borders are leafy and mature. There is space for children to play and with potential to growing home produce. The double garage has been converted into a studio and useful storage. There is off-road parking.
