5 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Milton Keynes, MK17 0RS £1,850,000

A generous walk-in pantry with practical shelving adjoins the kitchen, while the spacious utility room provides further storage, a double ceramic sink, tiled splashbacks, and space for laundry appliances. Accessed via the boot room — which also connects to a separate cloakroom and a side door leading to the block-paved driveway — the utility room also includes a half-glazed door that opens directly to the rear garden, enhancing the functionality and flow of this area.

The main living room is a spacious, triple-aspect retreat, accessed via oak-panelled doors. It features a stone fireplace with a wood-burning stove, antique-style radiators, and hard flooring throughout. A box bay window frames views of the garden, and glazed doors lead directly to the courtyard.

Upstairs, the galleried landing is filled with natural light from side and rear windows and provides access to five generously sized bedrooms, a stylish family bathroom, and a sixth bedroom currently used as a dressing room. This versatile space includes bespoke fitted wardrobes, drawers, shelving, and integrated lighting, and benefits from shared access to the principal en suite—making it ideal as a private dressing room, additional bedroom, or study.

The principal bedroom enjoys tranquil views over the courtyard and gardens and is served by a spacious and luxurious en suite. This beautifully finished bathroom features a panelled bath, a large walk-in shower with a glass screen, his-and-hers sinks set into a bespoke vanity unit, underfloor heating, and two heated towel rails.

Bedroom two is dual aspect and has its own en suite shower room with underfloor heating. Bedroom three includes built-in wardrobes, a dressing area, and an en suite shower room. Bedroom four has a front-facing window and an en suite with a shower, while bedroom five features a charming cast iron Edwardian fireplace.

The family bathroom has been fully refitted in a clean, modern style, featuring a panelled bath, a wash hand basin set into a vanity unit, a WC, and full-height tiling throughout. Underfloor heating adds a touch of luxury to this practical and bright space.

Outside, the block-paved driveway provides ample parking and leads to a double carport with lighting, power, and an electric vehicle charging point. Double wrought iron gates open into a walled courtyard, complete with a brick-built barbecue and granite worktops — ideal for outdoor entertaining.

Beyond the courtyard, a five-bar gate opens into a yard with two stables, a tack room (with hot and cold water supply), a tractor shed, and a workshop. A water storage tank beneath the yard supplies water for the garden.

The beautifully landscaped gardens are a standout feature of the property. Lawns are edged with low yew hedging, mature trees, and established borders. A brick-built, glass-covered well offers both power and a working pump. A stone-base driveway leads to a greenhouse and a productive vegetable garden with fruit cages, alongside an orchard planted with apple, pear, plum, and cherry trees. A post-and-rail fence encloses a wooded area, a small paddock, and a larger grassed paddock — ideal for ponies or enjoying the surrounding wildlife. To the side of the house, a further patio is surrounded by mature planting, offering additional space to relax and unwind.

The Gables represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and refined Edwardian home, combining timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, all set within idyllic and functional grounds — perfect for family life and country living at its finest.
