Old Oaks is a substantial Grade II listed detached cottage set on a very large plot in Little Horwood. At about 3,058 sq ft the house offers five generous bedrooms, three reception rooms and period character throughout — exposed beams, original doors and multiple open fireplaces — ideal for family living or entertaining. The extensive gardens open onto scenic fields and there is private parking plus a double garage that could become an annexe subject to necessary consents.
The village location suits families seeking countryside life with good local primary schools and access to highly regarded secondary and independent schools nearby. Winslow and Milton Keynes are within easy driving distance for shops, leisure and rail links to London. Connectivity is strong here with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, useful for home working.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed so alterations will require listed-building consent and may limit changes; this status can make repairs and upgrades more complex and costly. The sale is a probate sale and the property is offered chain free. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, and council tax is described as quite expensive — factor likely refurbishment and ongoing maintenance costs into any offer.
This house will suit buyers who value historic character, space and a large private garden and who are prepared to work within the constraints of listed status. There is clear potential to reconfigure or sensitively extend subject to consents, making it attractive for families looking for long-term space rather than a turnkey move.
