Property description

A four double bedroom single storey property with two reception rooms, two gated driveways, a detached double garage and a one bedroom annexe with approximately a 6-acre plot of private gardens and woodland in a secluded location within the grounds of Akeley Wood.

Originally converted from a Dairy, this property has been extended to incorporate a combined 2,618 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation including the garage. There is a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility/boot room, separate dining and sitting rooms, four double bedrooms, a bath and shower room, and an entrance hall that connects to a one-bedroom annexe with a bathroom and open plan kitchen/breakfast room. Two gated driveways provide ample off street parking and allow the annexe to be self-contained if needed. The private lawned gardens extend to three sides, wrapping round the house, and have a detached double garage. The mature, indigenous woodlands provide privacy and tranquillity. The private location is accessed via the grounds of Akeley Wood School and is part of a small community of around ten homes. Amenities are approximately three miles away in Buckingham and it is in catchment to the Royal Latin (grammar) School and in easy reach of Akeley Wood and Stowe independent schools.

Internal Features

The 18 ft. by 16 ft. sitting room has a stone fireplace housing a wood burner and opens directly to the lawned gardens. The almost 19 ft. dining room has two casement windows and a decorative open brick fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is in an original area of the dairy with high ceilings. There are fitted units with an integrated electric oven and a Rayburn stove. The four double bedrooms provide flexible use as alternative living spaces. There are two bathrooms and a separate shower room. The one-bedroom annexe is ideal for a live-in relative, an au pair or could provide an additional income source.

Outside

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a property with woodland. One gated gravel driveway leads to the garage which is accessed via up and over doors. There are south and east facing lawned gardens with a variety of shrubs, bordering the woodland. A second gated driveway to the rear offers further parking or an independent access to the annexe. The location and gardens provide good privacy and the woodland attract an abundance of wildlife.

Situation and Schooling

The village of Akeley has a primary school and a public house. Shopping and leisure facilities are located in Buckingham (3 miles), with a wider range located in Milton Keynes (12 miles).
