Seller Insight

The present owners, Darren and Emma recall that nearly eighteen years ago they were looking for a new home and were thrilled to discover Westbrook House, as it ticked all their boxes. The house’s attractive exterior was reminiscent of a barn conversion, a style that they loved. They were expecting a baby, and wanted a spacious family home, and with its generous rooms and garden, the house was perfect.

They also felt that pretty Thornborough village was a safe environment in which to bring up their family. Situated in the centre of the village, it is only a short walk to the infant school, with a bus service to local secondary schools. Its idyllic location is just three miles from Buckingham and ten miles from Milton Keynes, where there is an excellent train service into London Euston. Westbrook House has given them the best of town and country living.

The house was in good order, but they updated it with a well equipped kitchen, installed a luxurious and spacious wet room in the master bedroom suite, refurbished the family bathroom, as well as underfloor heating in both bathrooms. The study was fully fitted out with desk, cupboards and generous bookcases to provide a perfectly equipped office for working from home; and aware of the benefits of storage space, the open area under the stairs have become very useful cupboards.

The family have used and appreciated the entire house. The ground floor has an easy flow and the dining room and large lounge form a sociable centre for family relaxation and easy entertaining. The lounge, with its attractive stone brick built fireplace and end wall, gives the room a wow factor: An all year room, it is a cool summer refuge and with the log burner alight, becomes a cosy winter retreat. It is perfect for summer entertaining when with the French doors open, guests can mingle easily between house and garden.

The garden wraps around three sides of the house and is an oasis of calm, disturbed only by bird song or a hooting night owl. The family love to sit on the patio, accessible from the dining room French doors, for al fresco meals and the lawn has been ideal for a trampoline and garden games. A small brook runs along the side of the house and makes another charming place to settle. Emma says that on a summer afternoon you can listen to the soothing trickle of water and the sound of a cricket match in the distance. It has an enchanting rural tranquillity.

They will miss the house, the wide choice of dog walks and the community minded and friendly village, but take away many very happy memories.”*

There are beautiful gardens which wrap around the house, with a good sized lawn area, mature trees, and a pretty brook running alongside.

Access is provided to the front of the house from each side, where off-road parking can be found for three vehicles.

The integral double garage has two sets of double doors, power and light. A wonderful family home which must be viewed to be appreciated.
