Seller Insight We were first drawn to the rural location of the house and have since made it into our home with improvements such as updating the décor and installing new kitchen and bathrooms, as well as extending the living accommodation and the addition of log burning fireplaces.” Wonderfully spacious and light, the property conceals deceptively large living accommodation behind a modest, elegant façade. “With its open plan layout to the ground floor, this house is as well suited to entertaining as it is to everyday family life,” say the owners. “The kitchen flows into the dining area, which in turn leads directly into the snug. Bi fold patio doors open onto the garden to create the perfect entertaining space both inside and out. The garden has been landscaped to include a lovely seating area which is perfect for al fresco dinners and summer barbecues with family and friends, surrounded by the grass lawn and pretty shrub borders.” The village of Finmere, where this quiet cul-de-sac may be found, is situated on the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire borders and is located approximately 5 miles away from the market town of Buckingham. ”The village boasts a lovely primary school and a popular pub,” say the owners, ”and a friendly Village Hall which hosts lots of community functions and events.” Buckingham itself provides shopping, leisure and schooling opportunities whilst Milton Keynes boasts one of the UK’s largest undercover shopping centres. The area is well served with primary and secondary schools along with the Royal Latin Grammar school and many independent schools. Nearby Water Stratford is a charming village located around three miles west of Buckingham and is conveniently located for the M40 for access to Birmingham, Oxford and London. Train networks also provide an easy commute to London Marylebone in around 45 minutes. ”Being very central, this is an ideal location for commuting,” say the owners, ”as we ourselves have done at times.”*

LOCATION Finmere is situated around four miles West of Buckingham and four miles East of Brackley making it conveniently located for the M40 which provides access to Birmingham, Oxford and London in addition to the train network providing an easy commute to Marylebone in under an hour. Buckingham, the former county town of Buckinghamshire UK, is a vibrant small market town which has the river Great Ouse winding its way through its centre. Buckingham is characterised by a fine array of Georgian buildings and the Old Gaol which sits dominantly in the centre of the town. One of its best features are its large green spaces in and near the town centre. Many of its roads are tree lined, making it a very green town. Buckingham is located in the rural north of Buckinghamshire and can really be described as being the Green Heart of England. Buckingham is an ideal place to visit for a day, drop in for an hour or two while en-route to other tourist locations, or to stay longer while using it as a base to visit the many attractions nearby and/or enjoy walking the extensive footpath network.
