Strawberry Farm, Salford Road, Milton Keynes, MK17 8HY

Strawberry Farm is a charming detached thatched house, set in a secluded position surrounded by farmland, on the edge of the small yet well-connected village of Aspley Guise.

The property provides more than 3,000 square feet of attractive accommodation, including flexible ground-floor living and entertaining space, together with five well-proportioned bedrooms.

The welcoming and spacious central reception hall, with its impressive galleried landing above, leads to the principal ground floor reception rooms.

These include the well-proportioned sitting room at the rear, featuring a brick-built fireplace fitted with a stove and a dual aspect, with French doors opening onto the gardens.

Double doors connect to the conservatory, while the ground floor also includes a formal dining room, a drawing room and a study.

The well-appointed kitchen is fitted with handmade wooden units, terracotta tiled flooring and an Aga, with the adjoining utility room and boot room providing further storage.

The airy first-floor landing leads to five well-presented bedrooms of similar proportions.

The principal bedroom enjoys views across the rear gardens and, along-side three further bedrooms, benefits from built-in wardrobes.

The principle bedroom and two further bedrooms are en suite, while the remaining accommodation is served by a family bathroom.

The property is set back from the road and screened by mature trees and tall hedgerows, creating a peaceful and secluded setting.

There is ample parking on the gravel driveway to the front, while the rear gardens include rolling lawns and a partially sheltered patio for al fresco dining.

Beyond the formal gardens, the property truly distinguishes itself.
