Description

In a sought after village location and giving the pleasures of rural living combined with very easy access to town life. Set in pretty countryside, between Milton Keynes, Winslow and Leighton Buzzard and just a ten minute drive from Central Milton Keynes and train stations on the London to Birmingham main line.

This ground floor maisonette is in a small, purpose built block of similar properties. It has its own front door and the communal gardens and parking areas are generous. With timber double glazed windows and electric heating.

A small hallway with doors to all rooms except the kitchen.

Second bedroom with a window to the rear.

Main bedroom with window to the rear.

Bathroom with an electric shower over the bath.

Kitchen with electric hob and oven, washing machine and fridge. Built in cupboards.

Heating is via electric night storage heaters, hot water via an immersion heater, and the property is double glazed. Economy 7 electricity meters. Aylesbury Vale Council tax band B (£1,166 in 2010/2011)

There is a large car park at the rear of the building, with both allocated and visitor parking, and well kept lawn areas around the buildings. Communal clothes drying area. The communal garden area immediately behind this apartment feels secluded and is suitable for outdoor living.

We look after two properties in this block and have found that previous tenants have tended to remain for a long time and enjoy living here.

Bletchley train station is just a ten minute drive away. The village pub serves meals. There is a small lower school and playing fields in the village and village main road is not a busy one.

A 10 minute drive brings you into Milton Keynes, and all the excellent work, leisure, social and sports facilities available there. If you are not familiar with this area we suggest you visit the Milton Keynes website (mkweb.co.uk) to get an idea of all the facilities available there.

A Brief Overview of Drayton Parslow:

The village, with its 600 inhabitants is situated between Aylesbury, Milton Keynes and Buckingham, and approximately six miles from Winslow, Bletchley, Wing and Leighton Buzzard. It falls within the administrative district of Aylesbury Vale. Drayton has a peaceful, rural atmosphere.

There is one public house (The Three Horseshoes), an Anglican Church and Baptist Chapel, a new village hall (Greenacre Hall), a Sports and Social Club, and a recreation field with playground and cricket pitch.

Early years’ education is provided by the village Pre-School and Infant School. After their first three years at the village school, children move to the nearby villages of Swanbourne or Stewkley for Years 4-7 education.

Today only two crops are grown in the village - wheat and rapeseed. Kingsland Farm, at the end of New Road, is one of the few remaining working farms. Cattle are no longer kept in the village, although Kingsacre Farm near Drayton Crossroads keeps several hundred sheep. Sheepdog trials are held there several times a year. Many families keep horses, and there are livery stables in the village.

Every August the Village Produce Association organises a popular Village Show, complete with brass band, animal displays, stalls, competitions and family entertainment.

Traditional Victorian buildings, to be found in all corners of the village, are built in red brick often with inlaid brick patterns. Holy Trinity church is the oldest building in the village. Part of Drayton Parslow is a conservation area.
