Description
If This Was Your Home... - You'll head into your secluded country oasis by passing underneath the original archway below the clock that gives your modest area its name. Yours is an unusually generous example of these rarely available homes, at almost 2000 square feet plus garage!
Step inside for a broad and welcoming entrance hall, with whitewashed exposed brick and traditional original timbers underfoot. There's a handy utility room on your right and a cloakroom to your left before we really start to explore.
The kitchen will be your first stop, with ash blonde hardwood underfoot, and a generous complement of impressive cream cabinets, topped with timber counters and home to an oversized Belling Aga-style oven and Dublin sink.
A substantial chef's island takes centre stage and a substantial traditional wooden door leads out to your vast garden (we'll get out there soon). There's also a wealth of space for dining.
Next door your grand, spacious living room adds another 400 square feet of sociable space, with more lovingly restored original wooden floorboards flowing underfoot. A working wood burner sits below a charming timber mantel in the blank hearth, guaranteed to keep things cosy on the coldest winter evenings.
Twin sets of windows flank the conservatory – a seventeen foot extension to the lounge, flooded with light (naturally) and offering 260 degree views of your tremendous garden.
Out here you can appreciate your enormous plot in all its glory. Utterly secluded there's nothing but mature trees on the horizon, with a vast expanse of lawn in between, interrupted only occasionally by scattered shrubs and greenery to the borders.
A raised seating area sits off to one side below a pergola, and of course there's also that 150 square foot garden studio. Powered and insulated, this is the perfect home working space and ideally distanced from the main house for that vital work/life balance. Alternative uses include, studio, garden room or just the perfect retreat.
Back inside, and you can also enjoy tremendous views from your principal bedroom, where a floor to ceiling bay window frames your garden in all its glory.
A substantial 200 square foot double, in here you have more timber floors and a sparkling en suite bathroom with vessel vanity sink and integrated rainfall shower. A splendid solace, showcasing the very best of this superb home.
Your ground floor's completed by a modest secondary hallway, skylit and featuring more of that lovely whitewashed exposed brick. It's a handy bit of incidental space, leading to the second of your three bathrooms; a smartly finished shower room with vintage geometrics underfoot and a walk in rainfall shower cubicle.
Head upstairs for a welcome wealth of undereaves storage in the landing, as well as bathroom number three. This is sizeable family affair, home to an original timber beam, designer pedestal sink and mosaic tilework surrounding the tub.
Lovely original timber beams are also very much in evidence in your two remaining bedrooms. Both are skylit, characterful doubles, rounding out the sleeping arrangements and completing the property in style.
Your Neighbourhood - The Clock House was originally a staging post for stagecoaches, comprising offices and stables. Now it's a veritable oasis within an oasis and home to some of the most sought after properties in the area.
The private secluded grounds themselves are surrounded by the peaceful village of Little Brickhill, referred to in the Domesday Book of 1086 as 'Brichelle'. Because of the French.
Now Little Brickhill is a friendly parish of around 500, home to two historic churches and a much loved gastropub, The George, around five minutes walk from your new front door. Cosy fires, real ales and a varied, delicious menu are very much the order of the day here.
Local schools are excellent, with six primary/secondaries ranked 'Outstanding' within the briefest of drives.
Surrounded by the peaceful rolling Buckinghamshire countryside, you're nonetheless just a fifteen minute drive from the centre of Milton Keynes, with its famously comprehensive shopping and leisure facilities.
Milton Keynes Central station is twelve minutes by car, for regular fast trains speeding you directly to London Euston in just over an hour. And in more good news for regular commuters, you're at the top of the line here so you'll always get a seat. Other transport links include Leighton Buzzard railway station, Bletchley trainstation and excellent road links.
