5 bed detached house for sale

Antigua Way, Milton Keynes MK3

Why buy this home?

It's rare to find a home that has the best of modern living along with features you'd only expect to find in a more rural setting. This is the first thing that strikes you as you approach this imposing house thanks to its position overlooking a small lake.

An entrance hall can set your mood when entering a home and being central means that you get an immediate sense of space. The cream porcelain tiles are as practical as they are stylish, especially with the unpredictable weather this time of year!

To the left is the living room which is a very comfortable size and its shape makes it easy to have enough furniture for the whole family, whilst still feeling cosy. Double doors lead to the dining area of the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen itself is the real heart of this home and stretches across the rear of the house. It's easily big enough for a proper dining table and could even fit an additional seating area should you wish. The cream ceramic floor tiles are tastefully offset against off-white high gloss units and natural wood effect worktops creating a more homely feel than some clinical new home kitchens. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and fridge/freezer along with a gas hob and electric double oven. There is an under stairs storage cupboard accessed through the kitchen meaning it can be used as a pantry.

The garden is low maintenance thanks to the patio and artificial grass. It is west-facing meaning it captures the sun the majority of the day and is relatively private for a newly built area. The most impressive feature is the recently added enclosed hot tub area which is completely secluded, There is also a fully working bar with electrics, perfect for when it's your turn to host the next family get-together. Alternatively, this could be turned into an outside office. There is also access from here on to the driveway which is a carport.

Downstairs is completed by a useful WC and even more useful study meaning those who work from home can have their own space. It is a bright room which will help with tired eyes from computer screens, but be careful not to get too distracted from the views over the lake at the front of the house!

On the first floor are three double bedrooms. The master has its own dressing room meaning you can treat yourself to an extra-large bed. There is an ensuite with a double shower which is tastefully finished with large natural tiles that are mirrored on the floor.

The second and third bedrooms both have alcoves and so are big enough to be used as double with wardrobes. Being on the same floor as the master, they are designed so that younger children aren't too far away. These bedrooms are served by the family bathroom which has matching tiles to the ensuite in the master.

The top floor is perfect for an older child who wants their own space, or as a guest floor. The two large bedrooms share a shower room, and the current occupants show the flexibility of this home by having one of the bedrooms set up as a lounge.

There is also ample communal parking available directly outside the front of the property meaning no long walk for guests. The front garden and quiet setting help keep road noise to a minimum.

More about the location.....

For a new development, Newton Leys is steeped in history. With some parts dating back as far as the Iron Age. However, it was more recently famous for brick-making from the late 19th Century, in the form of Newton Longville Brickworks. When the Brickworks closed in 1978, an old claypit was flooded to create Jubilee Lake, now more commonly known as Willow Lake, easily the jewel in Newton Leys' crown.

Newton Leys is a district that covers the southern tip of Bletchley and is split between the Borough of Milton Keynes and Aylesbury Vale. Conveniently located next to the A4146 and A5, it gives easy access to Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and the M1. You have a choice of either Bletchley or Leighton Buzzard Train Stations which both offer services directly into London Euston and Birmingham.

Newton Leys Primary School opened in 2016 and accepts children from age 3 (nursery) to age 11 (Year 6). Many parents take advantage of the Grammar Schools in Aylesbury for Secondary education being only approximately 11 miles away.

In 2017 Newton Leys District Centre opened providing local conveniences such as a Costa, Chinese Takeaway, Fish and Chip Shop, Dry Cleaners, Hair Salon and a 8000 sq. Ft Asda. At the end of April the Turing Key pub opened its doors and has already cemented itself as the heart of the community. It is in good company as there also numerous village pubs within a few miles such as The Three Locks at Stoke Hammond, The Crooked Billet at Newton Longville and The Betsey Wynne at Swanbourne.
