SELLER INSIGHT

It is so easy to understand the owners’ delight when they first came to view this fabulous property, together with its location within the heart of the dynamic village of Kislingbury, just a few miles from Northampton, and within easy reach to Milton Keynes. At the time of their purchase, their lifestyle involved them spending much time abroad. Its setting along this quiet lane, plus the design of the property, gave them much reassurance that their home was safe and secure.

Once the local dairy until it was converted into a domestic property in the 1950s, and which has been much loved by several owners and gradually developed to become this fabulous home. It was in excellent condition when the owners purchased the house, but they have extended and added to its enchantment. This home is truly a box of delights. Whilst respecting its fascinating tradition, its style is full of qualitative innovation, elegance, and charm. A neat, compact, home with a design which provides an outstanding living space. There is a delightful sociable connectivity between rooms all of which enjoy an abundance of natural light, and also enable access onto a brilliant, totally enclosed, courtyard. This adds to the personality of the house and is a space for quiet drinks after a busy day, or as a relaxed space to share with others.

Steps from the courtyard lead up to the part walled garden, a hidden gem and one which provides interest but also an extra space to share with friends and family. The owners love to entertain, and such amazing facilities ensure that all occasions are relaxed and stress free.

The village is proud of its friendly, caring, community and is one in which residents have time to say hello. There is an excellent primary school here, with a choice of education facilities for older children close by. There is also an excellent variety of clubs and societies to suit all tastes, along with cricket, bowls, and other sports. There are also welcoming pubs in the village in which locals gather to catch up with news or enjoy meals. Walking in the local environs is a delight and there are lots of interesting places to visit. In addition, the road and rail network system is excellent.

Much as the owners adore their home, their lifestyle is changing, and they require a larger property but do intend to stay within the village which has become so special for them. They know that whoever decides to live in The Old Dairy will love the house and life in this fabulous village.*
