Flaxbourne Court, Wavendon Gate

BRIGHT AND OPEN

The property itself, which is believed to date back to the mid to late-90s, was set back from the road with another home, offering ample off-road parking. “I liked the way the house felt from the moment I stepped into the hall,” she says, thinking back to her very first visit. “Everything flowed nicely, with the bedrooms upstairs all coming straight off the central landing, and the doors downstairs opening up to create lots of light and to give you a good view from room to room. Later on, when we had the children, this was ideal for family life.”

SUMMER DAYS

In the time they have been at the property, the owners have overseen significant upgrading work. This has included extending out at ground-floor level in order to create a beautiful, open-plan kitchen dining room and installing a stylish outdoor entertaining and relaxation area, with heating, and hot & cold water. “This has an undercover bar and hot tub space,” she explains. “It has been lovely for barbecues and summer parties.” They also added climate control in the master bedroom, and electric car charging point.

VERSATILE HOME

The ground floor of the house has provided outstanding flexibility to the family, especially as the children have grown. “The kitchen dining room is where we tend to spend much of our time, either when it is just us or when we have friends or family here,” she says. “This still looks as immaculate now as it did when we first had it fitted. Here we have bi-folding doors that can be pulled right back onto the garden in the summer.” The sitting room is another generous space, with room for quiet relaxation and entertaining. “Then we also have another reception room that could have a variety of uses,” she observes. “It would originally have been a dining room but we used it as a playroom when the children were little. Now we have a computer in there – it has changed as the children have become older.”

WORK, REST AND PLAY

The playroom could also be a good snug or even an office for someone wishing to work from home. “We do also have a study within the former garage too,” she explains. “We converted part of this into a useful utility room and the rest into the study. We had a new door fitted so this can now be accessed from the main part of the house.” The bedrooms and bathrooms are all on the first floor. The master bedroom, which looks out to the front of the Flaxbourne Court property, has an en suite shower room. “This is a lovely bedroom because it is so spacious,” she says. The remaining three bedrooms all have access to the family bathroom. “The arrangement upstairs has been ideal for us,” she adds. “We love this house and have been very happy here.”

FOND MEMORIES

The owners, who are now relocating, agree they will miss their friendly neighbours and the wider Wavendon Gate community, as well as their attractive home, with its stylish kitchen and impressive hot tub and bar area. “I think we will also miss the ease of everything,” she admits. “There are so many places we can walk to and it is so easy to just jump in the car to get to Kingston or into central Milton Keynes. At the same time, we have all these beautiful walks nearby too. We have really loved our time here and are very sad to be moving on and leaving now.”

SETTING THE SCENE

To the front of the house, there is a driveway that can comfortably accommodate three cars. The back of the property, the kitchen dining room opens up onto the family garden, which features an outdoor bar and hot tub space.
