Why buy this home?

Having been rented for a number of years, this vacant home has been maintained by the landlord at considerable expense meaning an new owner can have the peace of mind that there shouldn't be any unexpected surprises.

As you approach the home the first thing that will catch your eye is the solar panels on the roof. These are fully owned by the property and we have been advised by the owner that these currently produce on average income of £1,200 per year over the last 5 years on top of using the electricity generated that the house uses for free. This is a great benefit to those who worry about rising energy bills.

As the front door is central to the house, the downstairs layout is split relatively 50/50. To one side is a kitchen/diner which has several relatively new appliances - the fridge and dishwasher were replaced in 2024, the tumble dryer in 2022, the freezer in 2021 and hob in 2019. There is also a utility room that houses the boiler which has been serviced annually. There are sliding doors which lead to the relatively private rear garden which has a paid and is laid to lawn. There is side access to the garage making it ideal if you wanted to storage an extra chest freezer or garden equipment.

The other side of downstairs is the generous living room which is large enough for a variety of layouts. The carpets throughout the house were replaced in 2024 meaning this room just needs to be decorated to your taste to feel like home. Downstairs is completed by a WC.

Upstairs are four bedrooms. The main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and an ensuite of which the shower was replaced in 2024, and pump in 2023. The second bedroom also benefits from built-in wardrobes. The third and fourth bedroom are served by the family bathroom. The taps and sinks in both bathrooms were updated in 2019, and even the immersion heater in the airing cupboard was replaced in 2022.

All in all, this home offers the opportunity for a family to put their own stamp with the knowledge that the majority of expensive upgrades have already been taken care of.

More about the location...

Wavendon Gate falls under the Walton Civil Parish and borders the village of Wavendon. It is mainly a residential area which contains Wavendon Gate junior school, cricket green and pavilion for recreational activities. 

The village of Wavendon is best known today for being the location of the Stables Theatre live music venue, and the 'Wavendon All-music Plan' music summer schools. The venue is the brainchild of the late Sir John Dankworth and his wife, Dame Cleo Laine (who continues to live in the village).

It lies adjacent to the village of Woburn Sands. At the heart of the town is a thriving High Street extending into parts of Station Road and Aspley Hill. It offers a comprehensive range of shops and services, including several pubs and eating places and a Library housed in the Institute, one of the oldest buildings in the town. Within the community are three churches, schools, medical centre and dentist, and a considerable range of sporting and leisure activities and many local organisations as well as easy access by public transport to Milton Keynes City Centre and beyond.
