5 Bedroom detached house ● Gatcombe, Milton Keynes ● £1,450,000
The cutting-edge, contemporary home at Gatcombe nestles in a magnificent position in desirable Great Holm, overlooking Lodge Lake and offering exceptional style and comfort
Basking in the summer sunshine out in their gorgeous garden, the owners of the spectacular house at Gatcombe savour the serenity of their truly special setting. Their impressive, five-bedroom, lakeside property has been their home for eight years now – after they fell in love with its unique location and impressive design. “We bought it off-plan as it offered everything we were looking for at the time,” one of them recalls. “It was in a lovely location, overlooking Lodge Lake and we knew it would be a beautiful bespoke build. With features such as four bathrooms, underfloor heating and Cat5 cabling and television points in every room, as well as a handmade, Springhill kitchen, it was going to be a high-quality home, with top-of-the-range fittings.”
- FOUR SEASONS
- Nestled on a leafy site, where a leisure centre once stood, the three-storey house is one of just five exclusive, individual properties built by premium property developer Abbeymill Homes. “The location here is exceptional – being right beside the lake, we get to experience the colour and beauty of each of the four seasons,” the owner observes. “We see ducks, swans, herons and Canada geese and the lake is full of large fish for those who enjoy fishing. We have seen herons sitting on our fence and often have squirrels and hedgehogs in the garden. We can stroll beside the lake right here but we also have walks at other lakes and the canal nearby. At the same time, we are well positioned for the A5 and central Milton Keynes. It feels like you are in the countryside here and yet you are just 10 minutes’ walk from the train station. It really is an amazing place to live.”
- BESPOKE TOUCHES
- Set in immaculate, landscaped grounds, with a generous driveway and double garage, the property is entered via a capacious reception hall. To the left is the light-filled sitting room, which is triple aspect and features a contemporary bay window; it also has a gorgeous, honey-coloured, wide-board wooden floor. “As in many of the rooms, there is bespoke joinery in here,” he says. “This is a very calm, relaxing place to be.” A ground-floor cloakroom, the utility room and the study can also be accessed from the hall. “The study has been finished in the style of a Georgian library – it leads into a bespoke orangery that we had built,” he adds.
- CONTEMPORARY LIVING
- The attractive, high-specification orangery, which also features bespoke joinery, was very carefully designed to blend well with the rest of the house. This lovely space is dual-aspect, with doors that pull back on to the garden. In addition to the study, it also leads into the sizeable kitchen dining room. An L-shaped area, with a central island and breakfast bar, the kitchen also has doors to the garden. “This part of the house is perfect for entertaining,” he explains. “It has a very large dining table, with chairs, and a comfortable seating area with a built-in audiovisual system and a smart LED electric fire. We can accommodate up to 15 people in here very comfortably.”
- SUMMER DAYS
- In the warmer months, family and friends can spill out into the lawned garden. Here there is a generous terrace, with ample space for outside dining, relaxation and a spa. “We used to live in Australia and it was important to us to be able to enjoy outdoor living,” he explains. “We had a vision of what we wanted and I sketched it out so we could have it created exactly as we wanted it to be.” He adds: “We have held lots of parties out here too in the time we have been here.”
- LAKE VIEWS
- The bedroom and bathroom accommodation is just as impressive as the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The sleek bathrooms all feature underfloor heating and Porcelanosa sanitary ware. The first floor of the house encompasses four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The impressive master suite has an en suite bathroom with a shower and freestanding bath, as well as a separate cloakroom and walk-in dressing room. “This room also has a long balcony, with glass balustrades and a view out towards the lake,” he says. “This is a great place to sit with a glass of wine to watch the wildlife.” A second bedroom also benefits from a sizeable en suite shower room and glass-fronted balcony. The two remaining bedrooms on this level are close to the family bathroom, while a family shower room is on the top floor, together with a very large fifth bedroom. "The whole house is very light throughout. It has a fantastic design and is simply a wonderful place to spend time.”
