The "old village" dates backs centuries, with mainly stone built houses. It has a dominant village church, a local traditional village pub, and a sailing lake and club. Both parts of Haversham have access to excellent walks, some of which follow the river Ouse and the Grand Union Canal.In addition to excellent walks there is nearby access to extensive network of bridleways across farmland. There is a substantial equestrian community in the village.

The property is within close proximity to two mainline train stations with services to London, Birmingham and beyond - Wolverton (1.5 miles) is just a 25 min walk, or less to cycle, and Central Milton Keynes (4.5 miles) a 10-minute drive.
