'The Granary' Flax Yard, Oakridge Park, MK14 6FU

Sitting behind electric double gates at the entrance to a small private development, The Granary is a stone-built barn conversion dating back to 1804 — the kind of home that rarely comes to market in Milton Keynes. With views over mature trees and open green space, including Stone Pit Field directly beyond the French doors, this is a property that feels genuinely removed from the everyday while remaining well connected. The blend of period character and carefully considered modern living is immediately apparent: exposed oak beams run across ceilings and walls, original stonework frames the exterior, and everything inside has been finished to a standard that the current owners have clearly taken great pride in over the years.

The layout makes the most of just over 2,000 square feet across two floors. On the ground floor, a solid front door opens into a generous entrance hall with porcelain tiled flooring, under stairs storage, and a practical shower room finished in travertine tile with a double monsoon shower. The master bedroom sits on this level too, with full-length garden-facing windows, a dressing room, and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom that includes both a double shower and a freestanding bath. Two further double bedrooms — both with full-length windows overlooking the garden and built-in oak wardrobes — complete the sleeping accommodation. The first floor is given over entirely to living space, and it is genuinely impressive: a vaulted ceiling with exposed king post roof trusses runs the full length of the open-plan area, which is divided naturally by oak beams into distinct kitchen, breakfast, dining, and sitting zones. The Wren kitchen is fitted with integrated AEG appliances including double ovens, induction hob, dishwasher, and a drinks fridge, with quartz worktops and a Quooker boiling water tap. A large island unit with breakfast bar sits in the adjacent breakfast area, and solid oak flooring runs through the dining space where Velux windows bring in additional natural light. A separate utility room and a two-piece cloakroom round off the upper floor.

Outside, the plot extends to 0.14 of an acre and offers a generous amount of gravelled off-road parking — comfortably room for five/six cars — accessed via a five-bar gate. The gardens are beautifully kept, mainly laid to lawn with established hedging, flower beds, and borders. A slate shingle path leads up to the garden lodge, which is fully fitted with power, lighting, and heating, making it an ideal home office, studio, or occasional guest space. An Indian sandstone terrace with a pergola provides a sheltered seating area that catches good afternoon and evening sun.

The property is well placed for access to central Milton Keynes, with a range of schooling options and everyday amenities nearby, along with straightforward road and rail connections making it a practical choice for commuters.

A management company covers the maintenance of communal areas and the electric gates at approximately £500 per annum.
