House For Sale £525,000
Why buy this home?
The Shenleys are some of Milton Keynes' most sought-after locations and it's easy to see why, with Shenley Brook End offering close proximity to Milton Keynes Train Station, yet having open green spaces thanks to the fact it is one of the original villages Milton Keynes was built from.
Being in a cul-de-sac means you'll have no concerns about children playing outside the front of the house as they'll be off the main road. You'll also notice that the house is set back meaning it offers additional parking space's - ideal for those leaving the house at different times of day.
This house feels like home as soon as you step foot through the door. The current owners attest this to the spacious entrance hall which is wide meaning that you can greet guests properly. Not only that, but it's perfect if you have young children as it's easy to put on coats/shoes or even space for a buggy. To the left of the entrance hall is the dining room however the current owner is using this as a playroom/office. Alternatively, this could be used as a bedroom if you had older family members staying. The living room is a great size and could easily fit a three-piece suite or you could go for a more modern corner sofa. Large double doors lead to the garden, which has recently had new patio slabs laid and a raised flower bed added. There's plenty of room for outside dining, perfect for when friends and family come over for summer BBQs.
The kitchen/diner is a great space and the heart of the home. The kitchen units are finished in high gloss and contrasting wood works tops giving it a premium look. There's a utility room just off the kitchen which is home to the washing machine meaning if you have people over it being on doesn't ruin the ambience. There's also access to the integral garage.
The first floor is home to four bedrooms, three of them being doubles. The fourth is a good size and would be perfect for a child or used as a home office. The second bedroom benefits from having a built- in wardrobe; this means it doesn't take up valuable bedroom space. The main bathroom services the three bedrooms and is fully tiled around the bath and shower in a light neutral colour. The master bedroom is a great size and has two double built-in wardrobes plus an all important ensuite that has the same tiles as the main bathroom.
Parking, there is a large driveway big enough for two or even three cars and a garage.
More about the location...
Shenley Brook End is a village, district and wider civil parish in the popular west side of Milton Keynes. Together with its neighbouring districts of Shenley Church End, Shenley Wood and Shenley Lodge, the districts are collectively known as "The Shenleys".
Today, the historic village is the core of the new district that bears its name.
The distinction between the Brook End and the Church End happened in the 12th century when a new manor house was constructed in Shenley Brook End by the Mansell family. However, by 1426 the two manors were owned by the same person and the distinction between the two places was in name only. The brook rises near the site of Snelshall Priory, flows through Furzton where it is joined by a tributary from Emerson Valley, then goes on to become the "tear-drop lakes" in Loughton and flows into the river Great Ouse at New Bradwell.
It has primary school, Long Meadow, and a secondary school, Shenley Brook End School.
