Church Road, Keysoe, MK44

The Vicarage is a substantial detached family home set within the peaceful and desirable village of Keysoe. Positioned on Church Road, this property enjoys a generous plot that combines privacy with a true sense of rural living. The house has been thoughtfully updated to create stylish, contemporary interiors while retaining the scale and versatility expected of a home of this calibre.

Offering multiple reception spaces, well-appointed bedrooms, and an expansive garden, The Vicarage is ideally suited to modern family life. There is also considerable scope to extend, subject to the necessary planning permissions, further enhancing both the footprint and value of the home.

Ground Floor

The ground floor is centred around a bright and spacious entrance hall with warm herringbone flooring and a modern staircase that sets the tone for the rest of the house. From here, the accommodation flows into a beautifully designed kitchen, dining and family room, which has been finished with a farmhouse influence and a contemporary edge. The kitchen is fitted with deep green cabinetry, complemented by marble-effect work surfaces and a traditional butler sink beneath a large window overlooking the garden. A dedicated pantry provides excellent storage, while the layout ensures the space is both practical and inviting.

The adjoining dining area is framed by a bay window, providing an ideal setting for family meals. The handmade bar and breakfast counter lend the space a sociable quality that makes it perfect for entertaining. Patio doors lead directly from this area onto the garden terrace, creating a seamless transition between inside and out.

A further sitting room with a feature fireplace offers a comfortable retreat, with large windows and French doors opening out to the rear garden. In addition, a versatile study provides the ideal work-from-home environment or could serve as a playroom, while a utility space and downstairs cloakroom complete the ground-floor accommodation.

First Floor

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with generously proportioned bedrooms and a thoughtful layout. The principal suite is a standout feature, offering a large double bedroom with space for additional furnishings, dual-aspect windows, and a calming neutral décor.

Additional bedrooms are equally well-sized, enjoying plenty of natural light and served by a contemporary family bathroom finished with sleek tiling and quality fittings. One room has been transformed into a luxurious dressing room, providing floor-to-ceiling storage and a boutique feel, while others are arranged as children’s bedrooms and guest accommodation.

Garden

The grounds of The Vicarage are particularly impressive, with an expansive south facing rear garden that extends to a substantial lawn bordered by mature trees and hedging, offering both privacy and a wonderful sense of space. A paved terrace adjoins the house and provides the perfect area for outdoor dining and relaxation, with direct access from the main reception rooms. The garden is well-suited to family living, with ample space for children to play, and also presents an exciting opportunity for landscaping or the addition of outbuildings. Given the size of the plot, the property offers excellent potential for extension, subject to planning permission, without compromising the garden’s generous proportions.

The front of the house is approached via a wide gravelled driveway, providing extensive off-road parking and access to the integrated garage. Combined with the large gardens to the rear, this completes the property as a versatile and attractive family home with both present appeal and future potential.
