The kitchen is fitted with classic wooden cabinetry providing ample storage and worktops, complemented by a white ceramic sink, and finished with white metro tiles.

More about the location...

Great Woolstone and Little Woolstone are two historic villages in modern Milton Keynes. The area is now collectively known simply as 'Woolstone' or 'The Woolstones' and it forms part of the Campbell Park Civil Parish of Milton Keynes and comes under the control of Campbell Park Parish Council. The land between the two villages is now occupied by the village cricket green. They are both linear villages, being hemmed in by and along the north-south line of both the River Ouzel (to the east of the villages) and of the Grand Union Canal to the west. They form part of a chain of three villages along this line, the next about a mile further south being Woughton-on-the-Green.

Today, Great Woolstone still has its own village pub, the thatched roof 'Cross Keys', which can trace its history back to 1560. Little Woolstone is the larger of the two Woolstones, having benefited from the building of the canal. Its village pub, 'The Barge Inn', dates from this time, being opened to meet the needs of the canal labourers, but is now mainly a restaurant.
