Brockwell, Oakley MK43

A statement home with high style and specification, spanning almost 2,000sqft,
featuring a landscaped garden, driveway parking and a double garage, and all
situated in a small village just 10 minutes from town.

This home makes a statement. It's obvious the owner has a flair for design from the
first step inside, and the entire house is a showcase of style, space and high
specification. Much investment has been put into the property, with a whole host of
recent upgrades, from a new Klöeber front door, to underfloor heating downstairs
and in the bathrooms, to sensor lighting in the most-used areas.
The L-shaped open-plan space is particularly impressive, with a party vibe from
speakers in the ceiling, casual seating at the island, and two sets of bi-fold doors
across the back for spilling out onto the garden.

Dining and sitting areas at one end allow for homework at the table after school and watching telly together in the evening, or simply unwinding with a book when the kids have gone to bed.
Whether entertaining friends for a celebratory meal or preparing everyday dinners for
the family, the kitchen at the other end has you covered. There's an Elica induction
hob and integrated extractor, a range of De Dietrich cooking appliances, a
dishwasher, an alcove for a fridge/freezer, plus plenty of storage. The sink has a
boiling water tap for quick cups of tea, and there's a cupboard perfect for the coffee
station.
Next to the kitchen is the utility room. This has a sink with waste disposal, a second
dishwasher (you can load one while the other is mid-cycle, keeping worktops clear
from dirty mugs and plates), and a colourful spectrum of storage cupboards. Yet
more storage is available in the adjacent boot room. Lastly on the ground floor is the
cloakroom.
To the first floor are five double bedrooms, four with built-in wardrobes, the fifth -
used as a dressing room - with extensive fitted storage. The primary bedroom
benefits from an en suite bathroom with a Heritage suite, featuring a rolltop tub you'll
look forward to relaxing in after a long day. The four-piece family bathroom also has
a feature tub, this one a bold pink with gold taps and feet.

The garden here is appealing to those who lead busy lives. It's fully landscaped with
paving and artificial grass, requiring minimal maintenance, and saving you time
mowing the lawn at the weekend. The outside space follows the inside as a prime
place for entertaining. There are various seating areas - some under a pergola for
shade when needed - the patio is large enough for a hot tub if you like, and the
boundaries have high fencing for privacy.
In the corner of the garden is a detached timber-clad studio. This is a versatile
addition ideal as a home office (it even has wifi), a home salon, or simply a summer
hangout spot.

To the front of the plot is private parking for two cars on the driveway, with a double
garage for another if needed. The garage is integral, accessed via the hall as well as
from the drive; whatever you've got stored in there is within easy reach. There's
substantial storage to full-height cupboards, and there's specialist flooring if you want
to use the space as something more, perhaps a home gym.
