There are homes... And then there are homes with a story.
Tucked away within the Grade II listed Manor Farm, this exceptional first-floor apartment offers over 1,475 sq ft of beautifully proportioned living space, set within a protected English Heritage landscape where the views are as permanent as the history itself. Surrounded by open grazing fields owned and preserved by the Parks Trust, this is countryside living without compromise-peaceful, private, and reassuringly untouched.
Originally built in 1860 and thoughtfully converted in 2009, the building retains all the charm you’d expect-solid stone construction, high ceilings, and an undeniable sense of character-while delivering the comfort and space modern living demands. This is not your standard apartment; this is lateral living on a scale rarely found.
Inside, the property unfolds with a natural sense of flow and light. The kitchen/diner with central island is both stylish and sociable-designed for everything from quiet morning coffee to hosting friends with ease. A separate sitting room provides a more relaxed retreat, with open views from every window reminding you exactly why you chose this setting.
The accommodation continues to impress with two generous double bedrooms, including a standout principal suite with dressing area and a four-piece en-suite-calm, refined, and quietly luxurious. The second double bedroom provides flexible living, whether for guests or working from home, complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom.
Step outside and the appeal only deepens. A private driveway winds through open countryside, setting the tone before you even arrive. The grounds themselves are beautifully maintained, with wrap-around communal gardens and walled outdoor spaces that offer both tranquillity and a genuine sense of pride among residents. This is a community of owners-not transience-and it shows.
Practicalities are equally well handled, with ample residents’ parking, secure cycle storage, a long 179-year lease, peppercorn ground rent, and service charges that include water and buildings insurance. Full fibre broadband is also on its way, ensuring the property is as future-ready as it is character-rich.
And then there’s location-the quiet luxury of being just far enough away. Positioned in Wolverton, near Milton Keynes, you’re within easy reach of local amenities, well-regarded schools, independent pubs, and leisure facilities, while Wolverton station sits just one mile away, offering direct trains to London Euston in around 40 minutes. Ideal for those who want access to the capital-without living in it.
