Bletchley, MK3 5NT

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.”
