Weathercock Lane, Woburn Sands, MK17

A refined four bedroom home on one of Woburn Sands’ finest roads, with landscaped gardens running down to Aspley Guise Golf Club

Behind electric gates on Weathercock Lane, Limewood is a house that reveals itself slowly. From the road it is a handsome, contemporary red brick home. Step inside and the view opens straight through to the garden and the fairways beyond. It is the view that first won the current owners over, and it is one of the reasons they have since refurbished every room to an exceptional standard. Arranged over three floors and extending to 3,094 sq ft, Limewood is o ered with no onward chain.

Arrival

The entrance hall has been opened up to create a calm, generous welcome, with a wall of built-in storage with a discreet study tucked away. A cloakroom finished in full height dark marble e ect panelling sets the tone for the detailing throughout.

The Heart of the House

Running more than 40 ft across the back of the house, the kitchen, dining and family room is where Limewood comes into its own. Dark handleless cabinetry and quartz worktops give the kitchen a quiet, tailored feel. The island, which seats up to ten, is as much a gathering place as a workspace. Behind the scenes, a three-way Quooker tap, a full height AEG wine fridge, a water softener and a hidden breakfast station keep everyday life e ortless. At the dining end, a log burner adds warmth on winter evenings, although the owners say the house is so warm it is rarely needed. Two sets of doors open onto a full width raised terrace overlooking the garden, which they describe as their favourite place for breakfast and evening drinks through the summer. A utility room, fitted to match the kitchen, leads through to the integral double garage.

Made for Entertaining

Downstairs, the lower ground floor is given over entirely to relaxing and entertaining. Laid in oak and running the full width of the house, it combines a bespoke bar with space for dining at one end and, at the other, a seating area arranged around a media wall with a gas fire. Sliding doors open straight onto the garden, so on a summer evening the party moves seamlessly outside.The Bedrooms Upstairs, the rear bedrooms look out across the garden to the golf course, a view the owners say never tires. The principal suite has fitted wardrobes, sash windows with shutters, a fully fitted dressing room added by the current owners, and a tiled en suite with rainfall shower and double vanity. Bedrooms two and three each have fitted wardrobes and their own en suite shower rooms, and bedroom four is a further double. The family bathroom, with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower, completes a floor finished in wool carpets throughout.

The Garden

Enclosed by high hedging and overlooked by no one, the garden is the setting that makes Limewood. Professionally landscaped, it is designed to be enjoyed at every hour, with sunlit spots moving through the garden from midday into the early evening. A porcelain terrace leads onto the lawn, and a gravel path winds past a raised pond and fountain to a paved seating area beside the garden room. Cedar clad and fully glazed, with air conditioning, power and lighting, the garden room has been completely renovated by the owners and would work equally well as an o ce, studio, gym or summer entertaining space. At the far end, a row of pleached trees screens a greenhouse and raised vegetable beds. Beyond them, the golf course and open countryside stretch into the distance.

Woburn Sands

Weathercock Lane combines the privacy of a quiet residential road with everything Woburn Sands and Aspley Guise o er, all on foot.
