Seller Insight

This has been a wonderful family home for us during the years we have spent here,” says the current owner of 2 Dancers Place. “With its easy, free-flowing layout, it is endlessly flexible for everyday life and entertaining alike. The room adjacent to the kitchen, with double doors opening out onto the garden, is lined with fitted bookshelves for hundreds of books, and is a lovely room in which to relax, looking out at the garden and listening to the birds. Guests like to sit in there and chat while I cook in the kitchen next door, before settling around the eight-seater table in the separate dining room. For more casual suppers, we also have a table in the large kitchen-diner. This gives the versatility to use the separate dining room as a playroom or office instead, should the next owners wish to do so.”

Outside, the pretty garden serves as an extension of the indoor living and entertaining spaces. “The patio is a fantastic place to sit in summer, enjoying the morning sun with a cup of coffee,” the owner says. “It is a real suntrap, so we have outdoor dining furniture there for al fresco lunches. There is also a gravel area with potted plants which are wonderful when in full bloom, and an arch with wisteria growing over it. At the end of the garden is a pergola covered with a cascade of rambling roses and the lawned areas are easy to maintain.”

The local area has much to recommend it, too. “When we bought this property, my son was going to Stowe School so we wanted to live nearby,” the owner says. “The house is also in the catchment area for the well-regarded Royal Latin grammar school and Akeley Wood school. There is a good primary school in the village, too. Also in the village is a picturesque Norman church, and a thatched pub just two minutes’ walk from the house with a pretty beer garden to enjoy in summer.”

The location of the property offers the best of both worlds, being semi-rural yet convenient for amenities and transport. “Our house sits in a quiet enclosed courtyard with just two other properties,” the owner says, “so is wonderfully peaceful whilst being part of a small village community. I enjoy cycling, so love the fact that within 100 yards I can be out in the countryside. The nearest town is Buckingham, less than a mile’s walk away for a number of independent restaurants and supermarkets, and a fantastic butcher which I frequent. The university offers regular public film screenings, while the annual literary festival draws visitors from far and wide. For an extensive range of larger shops, Milton Keynes is just a 20-minute drive away, and we can get to London in just 40 minutes from there on the fast train. So, we have everything we need nearby whilst enjoying an easy way of life in a village setting.”*
