5 Bedroom detached house ● Huntingdon Crescent, Bletchley ● £700,000
The handsome, detached house in Bletchley has been the perfect family home for 10 years now, offering space, flexibility and the opportunity to make memories together
When the current owners moved from their smaller Milton Keynes home to the substantial, detached house in Bletchley, they knew just how much they would appreciate all the space both inside and out. “We had three children and really needed somewhere larger – this property was the ideal size for us and had a lovely garden,” one of them recalls. “The previous owners had already carried out an extension, which meant there was lots of wonderful living space, plus all the bedrooms and bathrooms we needed. It was a flexible home that we could grow into over time. It was also in a great location – wonderfully quiet and yet well positioned for good schools and for travelling into London.”
- BEAUTIFUL HOME
- Originally built on farmland back in the 1990s, the property now encompasses five good-sized bedrooms and four bathrooms. It has space for working from home and an integral garage that could (subject to the relevant planning permissions) potentially be converted into a self-contained annexe. “This is something our neighbours have done,” she observes. The current owners have not overseen any structural work to the house, but they have refreshed the décor as necessary and replaced the family bathroom. “Everything carried out by the previous owners was done so beautifully that there has been very little to do,” she says.
- FAMILY LIVING
- Set back from the road via a driveway that could be gated, should that suit new owners, the property is entered via a covered porch and airy central reception hall. Here, there is access to the downstairs cloakroom, as well as the study, sitting room and kitchen dining room. The study could also be used as a playroom or snug. “My husband works from home a few days a week and the study is arranged with everything he needs. He can just close the door on whatever else is going on in the house and work without being disturbed.” The capacious sitting room, which is an L-shape, can be entered from two doors from the hall. With an elegant feature fireplace, it embraces ample space for a formal dining area, as well as comfortable seating. “This has been a fantastic family room for us, as our children were growing up and now for our grandson,” she recalls. “We have had some wonderful, memorable occasions in here, especially at Christmas.”
- SUPERB KITCHEN
- Doors from the sitting room pull back onto the light-filled conservatory, another superb family space. “When the children were younger, we used this as a toy room – it was great having somewhere they could leave everything out.” The kitchen dining room has been the beating heart of the Bletchley family home. This generous space has glass doors to the garden and ample room for food preparation and storage, as well as a dining table and chairs. It features a central island, light units and dark granite work surfaces, and has a chic, timeless appeal. “There is a breakfast bar in the island, which was ideal when the children were young,” she says. A utility room is accessed from the kitchen and also has doors to the garage and garden.
- BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS
- Stairs from the reception hall lead up to a generous landing, which gives onto all five bedrooms. These all have built-in storage. The long master bedroom features an en suite shower room. “The older children also had their own bathrooms, where they were able to get ready for their proms and 18th and 21st birthday parties,” she remembers. The child in the fourth bedroom was able to use the family bathroom, and the fifth bedroom was always a study space during exams. “There is so much flexible space here,” she adds.
- HAPPY TIMES
- The lovely garden has been a backdrop to many summer gatherings and special occasions. On fine days, the owners have also enjoyed their proximity to Caldecotte and Willen lakes, as well as to Woburn and so many other scenic locations. “There are so many beautiful places to walk in this area and yet we are also within easy reach of central Milton Keynes; the motorway and the station, with trains into London Euston in just 35 minutes,” she explains. “There are primary schools, nurseries and secondary schools close by, and we are near the hospital.” She adds: “We do enjoy living here and we hope to stay in the area when we move. We are only leaving because we are downsizing. Our hope now is that someone else will move in to make it their own and have as much fun as we have had.”
- SETTING THE SCENE
- To the front of the detached house is a front garden and driveway providing off-road parking. There is also access to the garage. To the rear, the property opens seamlessly onto a lawned garden, with a terrace and plenty of space for children to play.
