Milton Keynes, MK4 3ES

It was the beautiful outlook and tranquillity of the Tattenhoe house that first struck the current owners of the Langney Green property when they first went to view it. Moving out to Buckinghamshire from London, they were seeking a quieter setting and a slower pace of life. “Not only was the area itself very peaceful, but the house also looked out over a large green,” one of them recalls. “Having come from London, it seemed such a tranquil place to us. At the same time, we realised we would be able to commute to work in just 35 minutes by train and that the property was well positioned for primary schools, grammar schools and shops. It was also in a lovely location for following footpaths through all the parks and woodland around us. It was everything we were looking for. ”
