It was the incredible space and exceptional location of the house at Daubeney Gate that first drew the current owners to the detached property some 26 years ago. The proportions of the rooms and the size of the plot were exactly what they were looking for, while the Shenley Church End location also met requirements. “At the time, our two young daughters were in first school and so catchment areas for the following years were important to us,” one of them recalls. “Here we had a number of options for schools that were within walking distance and had good reputations. Shenley Church End was also convenient for commuting into London. It was also close to the centre of Milton Keynes and yet felt quite rural.” He adds: “From here, you can cycle up to the North Bucks Way in just 10 minutes. We are also within easy reach of places like Shenley Wood, the Teardrop Lakes and the Loughton Linear Parks.”
