" This exquisite home is set on an elevated position, centrally within 53 acres of land. The home itself offers outstanding accommodation with a self contained two bedroom annexe and separate two bedroom bungalow within the grounds. There are leisure facilities as well as equestrian facilities. The unique home is beautifully presented within a picturesque setting, a real rural retreat! The story Soaking up the silence at Mount Pleasant Farm, the owners of the extensive property enjoy the utter tranquillity of their setting. The family moved to the farm, at Burcott, about 14 years ago, having been attracted to the privacy it offered. We are right in the middle of approximately 50 acres of land and yet at the same time we are not too far from the village, which has everything we need, one of them explained. Much of the property was once a Rothschild farm, and is thought to date back to the 1800s. It has, however, been extended significantly, including out to the front. We have made it our own by adopting some of the outbuildings and barns and adding them into the house, she said. EQUESTRIAN POTENTIAL Today Mount Pleasant Farm is a simply splendid property, with substantial living and recreation space. The main house has five bedrooms but there is also a guest annexe, with two more bedrooms, a drawing room, kitchen breakfast room and bathroom, and a housekeeper's bungalow, with an additional two bedrooms, a drawing room, kitchen breakfast room and bathroom. This could be a working farm if that was what someone was seeking, she suggested. It could also be a superb equestrian property - the riding in this area is very good. There are 10 stables here, as well as a man?ge and two small turning out fields, as well as the larger fields. Having the annexe and the bungalow would work very well for someone needing additional living space for grooms or other members of staff. STYLISH HOME The entire house has been refurbished by the owners, creating some areas that have a traditional country appearance and others that are more contemporary. A house like this works well in different styles, she pointed out. We have just repainted the kitchen cabinets in a stone colour, for example, but equally it could be a cosy farmhouse if that was a look someone else preferred. The L-shaped kitchen breakfast room is very much the heart of the house. This is where friends often gather round the table. It is also right next to the dining room, which leads into the drawing room, so it is perfect if you are entertaining lots of people. The study is another favourite space, where she enjoys working and gazing out to the front of the property. I also love my bedroom, where I have nice comfortable chairs that I can retreat to and then sit quietly and read, she added. EXCELLENT PARTIES Other highlights of the property include the barn, which has been converted into an open-sided entertainment area for barbecues and parties. There is also a snooker room and a gym or games room, with a mezzanine level. We have had lots of wonderful times here with friends and family. We had my daughter's christening and a 40th birthday party, with a hog roast, she said. But this has also been a great family house. When the children were small they could be in the playroom next to the kitchen or out in the courtyard and it was easy to keep an eye on them. The older ones can go off with their friends or round the fields on a quad bike. She added: We have found it easy to get to schools, stations and the M25 from here - and Milton Keynes is just 15 minutes away but this is also a very beautiful part of the world and we have loved the fact it is so private. HOME ON THE RANGE There is huge potential at Mount Pleasant Farm to create a home to meet the needs of new owners. As well as the possibility of running it as a working farm or equestrian facility, it could also be suitable for other pursuits as there is a range of outbuildings and a workshop. Subject to the relevant planning permissions, there is still also potential to adapt the house. Spaces such as the outdoor entertaining area, for example, could be brought into the main home as an additional indoor living space.
