Green Lane, Milton Keynes, MK17

The definition of personality, Greenacre is a home that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

As soon as you turn onto Green Lane, you know you are approaching something special. The private drive of just 13 individual homes offers some of the largest secluded plots in Aspley Guise, yet are still walking distance to both the heart of the village and neighbouring Woburn Sands. Located at the very end of the lane, Greenacre's traditional facade masks what is awaiting you inside.

Stepping through the entrance porch and into the reception hall, your gaze is drawn up to the impressive galleried landing with its centrepiece light fitting. A feast for the eyes, this space is adorned with modern artwork which gives an insight into the interior design of this home. However, before exploring further you must venture through the 'secret' doorway which is hidden by a bookcase. This takes you into your very own games room which is one of many entertaining spaces in this home.

Off the reception hall is a cloakroom with WC, a utility room with side access door, and a generous home office. Rather than a large open-plan kitchen, Greenacre has two entertaining rooms off the kitchen instead. These rooms are the ideal place to enjoy a pre-dinner aperitif and after dinner cocktails. The vintage 'speakeasy' vibe means this entertaining area is sure to be one of your favourite places in the home and sets it apart from others. Being open to the kitchen means that the chef will feel involved in the conversation without having guests cause a distraction, although there is room for two to sit at the island to keep them company.

The kitchen has been designed for those who love to cook and the features they'll be most proud of are the Lacanche range cooker (which has four ovens, a six burner gas hob and hot plate), the walk-in pantry and the large industrial-style walk-in corner fridge. Other appliances include a freezer, wine cooler and eye-level Miele microwave and coffee machine. As the kitchen is oak, it can be painted any colour of your choice. Both the kitchen and adjoining entertaining room have doors which lead to the patio, making hosting summer BBQs a breeze.

A corridor takes you further into the home and passed a reception room which, due to its size, could be utilised as a formal dining room, family room or space to run a home business. Again, this room has doors which lead to the rear garden. At the end of the corridor there is a sizeable home gym, a further staircase to the first floor and the showpiece living room. Pride of place is a media wall with an electric flame effect fire and recess for a TV. Due to its size there is plenty of room for an ample amount of seating, as well as a large dining table. Before venturing through the two sets of bi-fold doors that open this space up to the garden, you have to admire the library that serves as a place to display your literature collection, or keep children's toys out of sight.

As you would expect from a home on a 0.45 acre plot, the garden has space to both sit and entertain. Mainly laid to lawn, even the most active of children will find plenty of space of play until the late evening. What you may not expect though is an outdoor swimming pool which is heated via a gas boiler in the pool house. This gives even more reason to host lavish summer gatherings that all will remember for years to come. As the sun goes down, the abundance of glass on the rear aspect of this home comes to life from the interior lighting. The gable end looks particularly impressive at twilight, and is also the location of the principle suite.

As this room was an extension to the original home, there was the ability to create a vaulted ceiling. This and the sheer size of the room creates a private space that serves as a retreat for the owners. A tiled floor leads you through a dressing area into the ensuite which has underfloor heating. With both a walk-in shower and roll top bath, both occupants can easily get ready at the same time. Although more than adequate for most, if the dressing area doesn't quite satisfy your needs, you'll be delighted with the separate dressing room which is located directly opposite the principle suite. The aforementioned secondary staircase is also located this side of the home, meaning that you can easily access the gym for your morning workout routine.

Two further bedrooms also benefit from their own dressing rooms and ensuites making them ideal for older children or guests. The remaining two bedrooms are both doubles and have access to the family bathroom which has a corner bath. Lastly the galleried landing which overlooks the reception hall also has extensive shelving and so offers a place to display collectables or family photos.

All in all, Greenacre is a home like no other and offers ample space for a growing family in one of the most sought-after villages near Milton Keynes.
