71 STOKENCHURCH PLACE

Looking back over the past 18 years at their Bradwell Common home, Lyn and Dennis have nothing but happy memories. The four-bedroom, detached property has been a magnificent family home and a superb setting for so many special occasions. “There have been birthday parties for our children and grandchildren, Christmas gatherings and summer barbecues out in the garden,” Lyn recalls. “We have been lucky enough to have the space here to accommodate everyone either inside or out, depending on the time of year, and for people to stay over as well. This has been a lovely home and it is nice to think of someone else moving in now and enjoying it as much as we have.” She adds: “The only reason we are leaving is because we are relocating abroad.”
PERFECT PLACE
Although it was almost two decades ago, the couple can still remember exactly what appealed to them about the Stokenchurch Place home. “It was situated on a really nice cul-de-sac that was quiet while also being very convenient for the centre of Milton Keynes, train station and major roads,” she remembers. “It was a good-sized, detached house, with four reception rooms and four bedrooms, one of which had an en suite shower room. We also really liked the kitchen breakfast room, which had modern fittings and featured a central island. Before we arrived, the property had been extended and upgraded, so it was ready to move straight into. As soon as we saw it, we thought we had to have it.”
BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS
Since then, the house has been beautifully maintained by Lyn and Dennis. Carpets and blinds have been replaced and rooms have been redecorated, keeping the interior of the home largely neutral in colour to make the most of the natural light. “This is a very light house throughout,” she continues. “It feels bright and spacious and is also very low maintenance. It is a very comfortable and easy home to live in.”
ALL SEASONS
The ground floor of the attractive, double-fronted property opens into a reception hall and then encompasses a large drawing room, the spacious kitchen, the dining room and conservatory and a study, together with a utility room and downstairs cloakroom. The study, which is ideal for anyone wishing to work from home, could also be used as a playroom or snug, depending on the next owner’s requirements. The drawing room is ideal for entertaining friends and family, as well as for relaxing in the evening. “This is a large room, but in the winter months, when we have the living flame gas fire on, it becomes a very cosy place,” Lyn observes.
FAMILY LIVING
The dining room and adjoining conservatory, which opens on to the garden, make great additional reception rooms to spread out into. The kitchen, which also has French windows, is well laid out for anyone who enjoys cooking. The utility room comes off the kitchen and there is a gym within the double garage. Upstairs, the four bedrooms are all comfortable and welcoming. There is a family bathroom, and the master bedroom benefits from its en suite shower room. “The accommodation here has worked very well for us. Two of our grandchildren spend a lot of time here with their father and they are able to have a bedroom each,” she says.
HAPPY TIMES
The garden, which isn’t overlooked, becomes something of an extension of the house during the summer months, with space for children to play and grown ups to relax. “We do enjoy spending time outside when the weather is good,” she adds. “I also love looking through the house from the front. There is such a sense of space as you gaze through the drawing room and glass doors and on through the dining room, conservatory into the garden beyond.” In a great location for reaching shops, supermarkets and schools, the house is also well positioned for walks and bike rides. It is close to cycle routes and footpaths, as well as green open spaces. “It takes about 20 minutes to walk from here to Linford Wood, which is a beautiful place to take the children,” she says. “We have been very happy here for the past 18 years and in many ways we are sad to be leaving now – but we know those who come after us will also love it and we are looking forward to the next chapter of our own lives abroad.”
