4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Drakeloe Close, Milton Keynes MK17

Extended to over double its original size, homes like this feel like a dying breed due to heightened material costs which are making substantial building work uneconomical.

Luckily, all the hard work has been done in this home, meaning that you simply get to enjoy the beautiful space that has been created. And it is beautiful. It's hard not to be taken in as soon as you park on the resin driveway and approach the aesthetically pleasing double-fronted entrance. However, once inside you immediately realise this home is all about style as well as substance.

The entrance hall has a herringbone lvt floor that draws you gaze through to the rear extension, however before you start to explore the downstairs space you can hang your coat up on the panelled wall. As you do, you'll see the playroom in front of you. Of course this room could have multiple purposes such as a home office, but we agree it works well as a playroom so that you can keep the living room as a tidy space. The living room would have been two separate rooms in former life, but is now a stylish formal room which feels like a private space to enjoy in the evenings after children have gone to bed or guests have vacated.

Back in the hallway you pass a storage cupboard, WC and feature recessed cabinetry on your way to this home's centrepiece - the kitchen/dining/family room. Regardless of whether you are upsizing or downsizing, this room is essential in today's age and is not necessarily something you would expect to see in a home in Woburn village. At approximately 36' in length it has plenty of room for a dining table and further seating area. Alternatively those who like to host lavish dinner parties may choose to dedicate this space solely to dining and utilise the playroom as a snug instead.

You don't have to be an avid chef to appreciate the star of this space which is undoubtedly the impressive island. With white granite worktops, a Belfast sink, hob, dishwasher, wine fridge, seating area and ample storage, the island will be the hub that you centre around from breakfast to a enjoying an evening glass of wine. The solid wood kitchen was handmade in Yorkshire by Eastburn and is painted in Skimming Stone by Farrow & Ball which is in contrast to the island which is Hague Blue by Farrow and Ball. There are two Neff eye-level ovens, fridge/freezer and pantry cupboards which aren't only trendy but also useful as they help keep worktops clear. No room of this stature would be complete without bi-fold doors opening up to the garden and of course this room doesn't disappoint.

The five panel bi-fold doors and French doors off the seating area mean that the majority of this room can feel connected to the garden in the summer making it the perfect entertaining space. The split-level nature of the garden really helps to make the patio feel more like an external room of the house and mirrors the kitchen space in that is has a dedicated seating and dining area. The rest of the garden is laid with artificial grass to ensure it is low maintenance, but the mature hedges on both boundaries help make sure you still feel connected to the surrounding countryside. The addition of the outbuilding provides further flexible space which is currently being utilised as a gym and home office. A WC and sink mean that there is little to distract you if you do work permanently from home.

You can re-enter the house via a side entrance that brings you straight into the utility room. As there is also a gate to the front, this is an ideal entrance if you return from exploring Woburn Deer Park with muddy boots. If you have any furry friends you'll also be delighted to hear that there is a downstairs shower. Regardless, this additional shower means there are four bathrooms in total.

Upstairs the extension is accessed via the old third bedroom meaning that the two largest original bedrooms remain. As such there are four double bedrooms in total. The original main bedroom is at the front of the house and is opposite the bathroom making it an ideal guest bedroom. The fourth bedroom is next door and has a built-in wardrobe. You'd be forgiven for mistaking the second bedroom for the new main bedroom due to its size and its ensuite, However, you'll see that the main bedroom is unmistakable as soon as you enter it. With space for a super-king bed, a dedicated dressing area with plenty of space for both occupants and an ensuite with separate sinks, it really is a luxurious space worthy of the home and location.

For those not familiar with Woburn, it only takes one visit to fall unconditionally in love. Whether you want to experience the exhilarating freshness of Woburn Lido, go on a journey through Woburn Safari Park or simply want to experience the grandeur of Woburn Abbey and the majesty of the surrounding Deer Park, Woburn really is the jewel in Bedfordshire's crown. For such a small village you are spoilt with an array of pubs, bars, independent shops and some of the best restaurants in the area. Those that get to call Woburn home are sure to be the envy of friends and family.
