Redland Drive, Milton Keynes, MK5

Loughton is always popular with relocators to Milton Keynes due to its proximity to Central Milton Keynes, and its history as one of the original villages. It only takes a trip down Redland Drive to see why so many homeowners are significantly extending and improving their family homes into long term investments.

There is an ample driveway to 18 Redland Drive, with the ability to also built a double/triple garage or carport if required (stpp). Walking through the porch and front door brings you into a wide entrance hall. All of the downstairs reception rooms are accessed off this hallway.

There are three reception room at the back of the home leading onto the impressive garden. Designed as a living room, dining room and family room, there is plenty of flexibility to suit any family's needs. There is a separate kitchen to the front which also has a utility room with side access to the garden. There is the potential to combine this room with one or two of the neighbouring reception rooms if you were looking for a larger, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room.

By the stairs there is another reception area being used as a gym. This extra space is unusual but offers lots of practical uses such as a home office space. Alternatively, it could be allocated to the studio next door.

The studio is perfect for those looking for multi-generational living or a private space for the eldest sibling. With its own front door to the driveway, this really is a space that could be formally separated from the home. There is space for a bed area, living area and dining area, as well as having its own shower room. There is room to fit a kitchen by the dining area if a proper annexe is required, alternatively the aforementioned reception area could become a bedroom with the current bed area in the studio being utilised as a new home for the dining area or kitchen. Either way, it's easy to agree that this is a fantastic space.

Upstairs are five bedrooms. The main bedroom has an ensuite shower with the other bedrooms all fitting double beds. There is a four-piece family bathroom serving the other four bedrooms.

The real showpiece of this home, however, is the garden. The original garden has become a separate flat space for children to play, or if you were looking to extend (like neighbouring properties) then it shows the potential of what could be created. The additional section of garden allows this to be an option as it would leave a more than expressive outside space available. Lined by mature trees, it is surprisingly quite and peaceful considering how close you are to Central Milton Keynes.
