An opportunity to live the good life is waiting for. A traditional 3 bedroomed 1930’s house, retaining much charm and character is for sale in the lovely rural village of Beachampton. Surrounded by fields, this house, and the village itself is located in a prime area of Buckinghamshire, just being a few miles from the historical town of Stony Stratford and within easy commuting distance of Milton Keynes and beyond.

If a smallholding is too big of an undertaking for you, then this property will help you reach your goal of a certain amount of self-sufficiency. Until recently the current owners had fully utilised the long garden. They maintained a large vegetable patch growing a variety of vegetables, including onions, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage, etc. This piece of land has now been grassed over, but with a little digging, literally, you will unearth the fertile soil once more.

The large patio area is also suitable for container growing.

If you want to try your hand at making jams and homemade fruit pies, you won’t have to go far for your main ingredients. In the garden you will find an apple, plum and pear tree. There are also gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes and rhubarb that crops each year.

For many years the owners kept 8 chickens, giving them a regular supply of eggs throughout the year.

The property is being promoted on Greenshifters.co.uk (view full particulars).
