Not your average bungalow – extremely spacious (over 2000sqft) with four double bedrooms – resting on A generous plot and set within a cul-de-sac with the Grand Union Canal to the rear. Located with Milton Keynes Hospital nearby, a local Tesco Express a short walk away. There is good access to Central Milton Keynes with its large shopping centre and wide range of leisure facilities, the M1 and A421 Bedford Bypass as well as Milton Keynes Central and Bletchley main line train stations with direct links to London Euston.
The property is in excellent condition & beautifully presented throughout, with a very attractive large living/dining room and an open plan kitchen. The sitting room area with its roof lantern, provides a real sense of space and light! Some of the other benefits to the ground floor include a sunny inner courtyard, master bedroom with a large refitted en-suite shower room, two further well-appointed bedrooms, a family bath/shower room and additional shower room. To the first floor is again a spacious double bedroom with window overlooking the good sized private garden and canal. To the front is a carport, garage and driveway offering off road parking. There is a further private area of garden to the side of the house.
This property offers a deceptively large footprint making it a must view to fully appreciate the space and is offered with no upper chain.
Originally built for the architects and designers who were involved in the development of Milton Keynes in the 1970's, there are just 24 houses in Marshworth.
This small, exclusive development backing onto the Grand Union Canal as part of Simpson village and the parish of Woughton, was later brought into the area of Tinkers Bridge. A new estate was built behind Marshworth to house the ever-growing population of the New City. However, in order to preserve the private and leafy avenue, a grassy hill was created and planted with beautiful trees, creating an air of tranquillity and quiet.
Large, open-plan spaces, big windows and interesting architecture were key in the design of these spacious bungalows, resulting in light, bright and airy interiors. Gardens were cleverly placed to achieve maximum privacy with immediate access onto a green, tree-lined natural area by the side of the canal.
Initially 3-bedroomed, 17 Marshworth was the first property to receive planning permission for the erection of a second storey, providing a fourth bedroom upstairs. Further development of the property included moving the kitchen to overlook the garden and the building of a large double bedroom and bathroom overlooking the light-filled inner courtyard – a stunning and unusual aspect of the original design. A pitched roof completed the changes, creating a vast amount of eaves storage, some of which is full height.
The rear of the house sits on Marshworth itself and ingeniously hides the extent of the home which is revealed upon entry. This will appeal to anyone wanting to maintain a low profile whilst enjoying the privacy afforded within.
Now with over 2000 sq ft of living space, this is a unique and unmatched property that will excite those who appreciate good design, light, space and individuality.
