Details:
A beautiful 18th Century limestone cottage, lovingly refurbished to a high standard in the heart of the historic village of Syresham. Accommodation is over three floors and includes four double bedrooms, large kitchen / dining area, sitting room, family bathroom, and ensuite. Externally, the property has off-road parking for several vehicles and a large garage with service pit, separate external utility area and office room. The well-tended garden is of a good size and has a lovely patio area accessed through bi-fold doors from the Kitchen / Dining room.
Location:
The village of Syresham remains unspoilt and preserves much its old-world charm, providing an ideal location for families seeking a tranquil location but with the benefit of good amenities and easy access to the arterial roads of the A43, M1 and M40.
Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 30 minutes’ drive from where train journeys can be made to London Euston in 1 hour. For a more local range of amenities and facilities, the market towns of Brackley and Towcester are just a short drive away.
Syresham is fortunate to have the beautiful church of St James the Great. Located on a steeply banked hillside to the northeast of the village this C13th church has an impressive, shingled spire which rises next to a backdrop of equally inspiring trees.
The village is surrounded by the remnants of ancient woodlands used as hunting grounds for past royalty. The source of the River Great Ouse is purported to be located nearby and flows as a small brook passing through the village on its 142m journey to Norfolk into the Wash.
Local amenities within the village include The King’s Head - a traditional coaching inn; post office and village store; Methodist Chapel, modern village hall, and Sports and Social Club.
Syresham is justly proud of its Primary School which is at the heart of the village. Additional schooling is available at Akeley Wood School, Beachborough School, Magdalen College School, and Winchester House School in Brackley.
