Description

Modern spacious five bedroom family home set over 3 floors.
Furnished and decoratorated in what we like to think is a great mix of contempory with antique pieces.

Three double bedrooms, 2 single childrens rooms (one definately a princess palace)
Family bathroom, on suite in the master bedroom and a bathroom on the top floor for the 2 further double bedrooms.

Small functional garden with childrens play area.
Plenty of space to lie out on the lawn or have breakfast at the outside table enjoying the morning sun.
BBQ, patio heater and garden lights let you use our outside space most of the year day and night.

Recently extended Kitchen with doors which fully fold back to open into the garden. Great for informal meals and the table extends to seat 10!

Large lounge/Dining room which is perfect as an adults sanctuary!

TV/play room with corner sofa for 6

Lots of useful things from X-box games machine and wireless broadband to cots and childrens toys/bikes.

A smart, tidy home that is easy to live in and welcoming.

Neighborhood

Woburn Sands is close to the historical town of Woburn with its Abby, Deer and Wildlife Parks.

We enjoy living in our neigbourhood. Our neigbours are friendly and would always be there if needed.

Woburn sands is a peaceful village with a small but good selection of pubs, shops, coffee stops, deli, butcher etc. From Tai to Fish and chips if you don't want to cook or simply fancy a night out you will have a great choice in the village. A short drive or taxi ride offers an even greater choice in Milton Keynes or fine dining in Woburn.

Our location offers the best of two worlds:
A 35 minutes train ride from Milton Keynes gets you into Euston Station in the heart of London.
London has so much to offer it is difficult to know where to start. With trains running regularly all day until 2am everything from Buckingham Palace to Londons world renowned restaurants are there for you to enjoy.

Woburn and Woburn sands are surrounded by wonderful English Countryside, grand country homes and parks.
The woods on the edge of Woburn are well known for their Mountain Bike trails and are also great for walks at anytime of the year.
Willen lake is 5 minutes away and again it's great for walks and has a good playground for children of all ages.
You can also waterski or wakeboard using the cable system.

There is lots more for children to do. Indoor activity centers, cinema, open farms, childrens play gym, swimming etc

Our location in the Uk makes an ideal location from which to explore other areas. From Historical Oxford to a regenerated and vibrant Manchester - so much can be reached by car or train within a few hours.

About Us

My name is Mike and my wife Helen and I have 2 Children. Millan born on New Years Eve 2006 and Ella in the summer of 2003.

Helen works in HR and I manage a Waitrose Foodshop in Belgravia London.

We love to travel and enjoy the sun and the snow.
We are lucky to have friends in the Cayman Islands who it is always great to visit.
We love to go skiing with a big group of friends in Europe every year.

Helen likes to run and to play Tennis. I like to Mountain Bike in the local woods or on trails throughout the UK.

As a family we like to go swimming. Feeding the ducks at the local park is also a regular request.
We enjoy cooking and our daughter Ella is enthusiastic chef.

We like to watch Rugby and follow England and the local Northampton Saints.

We have some great friends across the UK and some wonderful neighbours who we also view as friends.

Destination

We would like to visit Canada as we are considering moving there.
We are ideally looking for Vancouver.

We love the idea of a house swab but if the dates don't work we would consider having people to stay with us and vice versa.

We need to work around school holidays. It would be great to swap during our given dates in March/April.
We can do a bigger range of dates during the Summer holidays.

We would be grateful of some local knowledge for Canada and in return we are keen to help you make the most of your stay in England.
