Location:
The property is situated in The Pound, a historically significant part of the picturesque village of Syresham, South Northamptonshire. The Pound gets its name from being a resting point where drovers would stop overnight with their livestock while travelling from London, Wales, and the South-East.

Syresham has retained much of its old-world charm and provides an ideal location for families seeking a tranquil lifestyle with the benefit of excellent amenities. The village features The King's Head, a traditional coaching inn, a post office and village store, a Methodist chapel, a modern village hall, and a sports and social club.

Syresham is also home to the well-regarded Syresham Primary School, which is central to the village community. Additional schooling options include Akeley Wood School, Beachborough School, Magdalen College School, and Winchester House School in nearby Brackley.

The village enjoys excellent transport links, with easy access to the A43, M1, and M40. Milton Keynes and Northampton are within a 30-minute drive, offering train services to London Euston in approximately one hour. The market towns of Brackley and Towcester are also a short drive away, providing a wider range of shops, supermarkets, and restaurants.

Surrounded by remnants of ancient woodlands once used as royal hunting grounds, Syresham also sits near the source of the River Great Ouse, which flows through the village on its journey to The Wash in Norfolk. The village is further enhanced by the beautiful St James the Great Church, a 13th-century gem with a striking shingled spire set against a backdrop of inspiring trees.
