Watling Street, Little Brickhill, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK17

A FINE PERIOD RESIDENCE IN A PROMINENT VILLAGE LOCATION AND IDEALLY PLACED FOR NEARBY WOBURN VILLAGE, THE CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF CLUB AND EXCELLENT COMMUTER LINKS TO THE CAPITAL.

Court House is a Grade II listed historical residence with records dating from 1443 and believed to have at one time been used as the County Assize Court. The front elevation was refaced in the nineteenth century in the Jacobean style resulting in the impressive façade which remains today.

The stone mullioned windows, gables and large chimney stack give it a manorial appearance and this period feel continues inside with original fireplaces, seventeenth century studded doors and exposed timbers. This is further enhanced with individual and well-proportioned reception rooms with generous ceiling heights allowing lots of natural light and perfect for modern living and entertaining.

Careful modernisation has included a refitted kitchen with gas fired AGA and refitted bath and shower room suites with period style sanitaryware.

The layout is versatile having two staircases and a ground floor shower room which offers the potential to provide a self-contained annex or the much in demand home office.

The gated grounds are secluded with a terraced patio and courtyard and lawns with the original coach house and stables providing covered parking and further potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation.

A viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the Court Houses unique qualities and lifestyle opportunity on offer.
