If This Were Your Home...

Situated on a prestigious road in Great Brickhill this family home is in a charming and idyllic setting close to all village amenities. This beautifully presented period home boasts an attractive frontage full of character and kerb appeal. Set back behind a traditional five-bar gate and a spacious gravel driveway offering lots of off road parking, the property features mellow brickwork complemented by classic stone window lintels and sills (all windows are double glazed), as well as picturesque climbing plants that enhance its countryside charm. Decorative bargeboards and mature planting in well-positioned pots create a welcoming entrance that reflects the warmth and elegance found throughout the home. A covered porch adds both practicality and timeless appeal, making this an inviting first impression.

The ground floor of this characterful home is both spacious and well-finished, combining traditional features with quality craftsmanship throughout. The accommodation includes a large living room, formal dining room, study, and snug – most of which feature working fireplaces, solid oak flooring, and solid oak doors. The heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a 140cm Lacanche range cooker, granite worktops, limestone flooring, and bespoke cabinetry, all centred around a generous island. This space flows seamlessly into a recently built custom-made hardwood orangery with a bespoke roof lantern, underfloor heating and timber double-glazed French doors opening to the garden. A fully equipped utility room offers additional practicality, with a door leading to the driveway. If a downstairs bedroom were required the snug and utility room could be utilized in this way. Some rooms are enhanced with cast iron radiators, and all windows throughout the ground floor are timber double glazed, completing a warm and timeless living environment.

Upstairs, the property offers four double bedrooms arranged across a light-filled first floor, accessed via a characterful landing with exposed beams and more oak flooring. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, featuring vaulted ceilings, exposed rafters, a fireplace, multiple bespoke fitted wardrobes and a stylish ensuite with a roll-top bath and monochrome tiling. The second bedroom also benefits from its own ensuite shower room. Two further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom with a clawfoot tub and traditional fittings. Each bedroom features timber double-glazed windows, and the first floor continues the solid oak flooring seen throughout the home. The layout offers flexibility for family living or home-working, with the option to use one of the bedrooms as a study or hobby space if desired.

The gardens surrounding the property are beautifully established and thoughtfully landscaped to offer both visual interest and practical enjoyment. A large paved terrace sits directly outside the orangery, creating a perfect space for outdoor dining and entertaining, overlooking a formal pond with sculptural features and mature planting. The grounds include neatly maintained lawns, a range of flowering borders, ornamental trees, and a variety of well-positioned seating areas to enjoy the peaceful setting. Pathways lead through sections of the garden, offering a sense of structure while still feeling natural and green. There is a large further area in the garden laid to lawn perfect for outside play. Enclosed by hedging and planting for privacy, the outdoor space complements the character of the home and provides a tranquil extension of the living areas. To the rear of the garage there is a door for access. Tucked away in the corners of the garden you have a garden shed with power for practical storage, as well as a bespoke greenhouse with power and water, growing area and compost area.
