Hillway, Woburn Sands, Milton Keynes, MK17

Why buy this home?

1930's homes have arguably the most aesthetically pleasing architecture, so when you add the picturesque nature of Hillway into the mix, the result a beautiful home in an enviable location.

As soon as you turn onto the private road of Hillway, you immediately know you are somewhere special. Being a no-through road and offering some of the best architecture in Woburn Sands, it's easy to forget that you're mere minutes walk to the train station and a further short walk to the High Street. The front of the home offers an abundance of parking which in itself is the first area of potential further development to the home - the erection of a new standalone garage to the front (stpp) and then conversion of the integral garage to a new cost-effective ground floor reception room.

A porch greets you as a place to remove coats and shoes before you enter the hallway. To the left is a traditional sitting room with feature bay window and central chimney breast, with the dining room being a separate room next door. This layout is indicative of homes built in this period and offer a space to dedicate to certain times of day. In contrast, the modern rear extension offers an open-plan space which is sure to be the centre of your daily use.

In our opinion the modern kitchen complements the house due to its shaker style and duck egg colour, which the quartz worktops ensure it is hardwearing for daily use. A breakfast bar has been installed which means that the dining room can be used for more formal occasions, and also means the chef can be kept company whilst cooking. Appliances include a Rangemaster cooker with gas burners and griddle, and integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher and wine fridge.

As this space opens to the dining room it cleverly created an L-shaped room meaning the spaces feel connected but also have privacy from each other - this means you don't need to look at any mess that may have been made whilst enjoying a meal. It also means that the use of this space is interchangeable, as the dining room could be used as a further snug or family room as there is plenty of space for a dining table in the kitchen. If you do opt to use the kitchen area for a dining space, you could create an inside/outside dining experience in the summer thanks to the bi-fold doors that open to the garden. And what a garden it is.

As the owners purchased more land to add to the already generous original garden, you now have an outside space that you would only expect in a multi-million pound property. As a result of the ample space available, the owners have installed a very large patio area as it doesn't take away from other useable space. This means you can have not only an outside dining area, but also seating area for the whole family to enjoy. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders, but at the back there is a working section to the garden which has a greenhouse and raised borders which is sure to appeal to those with green fingers. Those who aren't as passionate about gardening, however, will not feel left out thanks to the impressive Artic cabin which has an open fire and bar - the perfect place to enjoy at the end of the evening.

Back inside, the downstairs is completed by a large wet room which offers the second bathroom which 1930's home typically lack. A staircase leads you to the first floor where you can turn both left and right. Right takes you to an extension over the garage where there is a double bedroom with built-in storage. This room could have an ensuite added as the planning permission allows a first floor extension which would wrap around the back of the bathroom - when the rear extension was built, the foundations were installed with the provisions to create this first floor extension too. Turning left takes you passed the bathroom which has a period white suite and overhead shower. There are then two good sizzed double bedrooms which mirror the living room and dining room below, meaning both have the chimney breasts as features. The bedroom at the front also has the matching bay window and a window seat so you can truly sit and enjoy this space. Lastly is a fifth bedroom which would also make a useful study should you not need five bedrooms.

On the top floor is a further double bedroom which has views over the garden thanks to the Velux windows. This room would make a great guest bedroom, a room for an older child who wants their own space or even as a further reception room like a playroom or snug. Opposite is a storage room which also has the water cylinder, meaning a sink or toiler could be installed should you wish the top bedroom to have easy access to this.

All in all this wonderful home offers the opportunity to move to one of Woburn Sands' best roads and buy a home that has been significantly improved, but also have potential for further adaptation to suit your needs. Added to the impressive parking and unbelievable rear garden, this home is sure to tick all the boxes for one lucky buyer.
