In pictures: historic fairy-tale home priced at £2.5m in Milton Keynes

The Old Rectory is a Grade II listed family home, dating back to the early 18th century.

Its elegant architecture and huge mature walled garden would make any occupant feel like royalty.

But royalty comes at a cost, with the home priced at a whopping £2,500,000 by estate agents Fisher German LLP - South on Zoopla.

A thorough renovation programme began in 2020, when the property changed hands within the family of occupants.

The project focused on preserving the building’s heritage, while introducing chic, modern elements, like its striking single-story extension designed by renowned London architect Goldstein Heather.

The extension boasts a gorgeous kitchen and dining space forming the heart of the home, inspired by textures and tones from the original house.

Accommodation spreads across three-stories, with a range of bedrooms and bathrooms suited to modern family life. Out of the nine bedrooms, two are en suite.

The gardens come with an orchard and a small wooded area where children can play. Multiple terraced seating areas are placed around the garden, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The property benefits from a number of useful outbuildings, including a newly insulated timber garage and store with a utility and gardener's bathroom.
