Location:

The property is located in the picturesque village of Syresham which retains much its old-world charm.

Syresham provides an ideal location for families seeking a tranquil location but with the benefit of good amenities and easy access to the arterial roads of the A43, M1 and M40. Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 30 minutes' drive from where train journeys can be made to London Euston in 1 hour. For a more local range of amenities and facilities, the market towns of Brackley and Towcester are just a short drive away.

The village is surrounded by the remnants of ancient woodlands used as hunting grounds for past royalty. The source of the River Great Ouse is purported to be located nearby and flows as small brook passing through the village on its 142m journey to Norfolk into the Wash.

Syresham is fortunate to have the beautiful church of St James the Great. Located on a steeply banked hillside to the north east of the village this C13th church has an impressive, shingled spire which rises next to a backdrop of equally inspiring trees.

Local amenities within the village include The King's Head - a traditional coaching inn; post office and village store; Methodist Chapel, modern village hall, and Sports and Social Club.

Syresham is justly proud of its Primary School which is at the heart of the village. Additional schooling is available at Akeley Wood School, Beachborough School, Magdalen College School, and Winchester House School in Brackley.
