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 a primary school, Long Meadow, and a secondary school, Shenley Brook End School. A short walk away is a Tesco Express and The Burnt Oak pub and in the neighboring estate Shenley Lodge is The Old Beams, both pubs are family and dog friendly.

Good transport links, you have a choice of Central Milton Keynes or Bletchley Railway station less than 10 minute drive. Close to the A5 and A421 and 20 minutes drive to the M1.
