Property Summary

Details:

23 Bell Lane is a detached cottage in the heart of the historic village of Syresham which has been thoughtfully refurbished to a high standard whilst retaining period features.  Originally comprising two separate dwellings respectively built in the mid-18th and 19th Centuries, the property now provides family accommodation with three bedrooms, a dual-aspect sitting room, dining room, kitchen, family bathroom, entrance porch, and attached single garage.  Externally, the property has off-road parking beneath a timber carport and a further space in front of the attached garage.  There are also well-tended enclosed gardens to the front, rear, and side elevations of the property.

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.

Flooring comprises oak effect boards and there is a two-panel part glazed oak door leading to the dining room/study.

Dining room/ Study
The entrance porch opens into the central reception room which is currently used as a study area but would accommodate a large table and chairs for a dining room.

Matching doors are fitted to the large wardrobe/cupboard areas at the top of the stairs which provide useful storage space.

Master Bedroom

There is a limestone retaining wall with steps leading down from the raised lawn to a perimeter pathway around the property.

To the right-hand side of the front gable elevation, stone steps lead up to another pretty raised garden area providing access to the main entrance porch. This garden area has well-tended perimeter shrubs and plants. A timber gate to the rear of the garden opens onto a parking space in front of the attached single garage.
