Entire bungalow 30 min from Silverstone

Spacious, comfortable country retreat in small historic village around 27 minutes drive from Silverstone circuit. Log burner. Award winning gastropub a couple of minutes walk away. Country walks from the front door. Also good for a morning run. 30 minutes drive to Bicester village, 30 minutes to the Centre MK. The space The beautiful village of Adstock is placed midway between Oxford, Cambridge and London seemingly in the heart of the English countryside but actually within a short drive of some of Europe's finest visits and shopping. Great if you want to visit London but want more space and peace and quiet, and great if you want to get away from London, but not spend hours driving. We have a well equipped kitchen, but you can easily survive without cooking at all with a super restaurant and bar food in the pub next door, and food deliveries (groceries from Tesco or the British takeaway favorites of Pizza, Indian & Chinese) available at the door. This is our family home and we let in on airbnb when we go away. Our things will still be here (e.g. our food in the cupboards, clothes in the wardrobes, books on the shelves etc). For longer stays we expect to empty some drawers, cupboards and wardrobes for your use. Please check with us if this is important to you! Guest access The Chestnuts is a modern bungalow in the the historic conservation are in the center of Adstock and is the only modern house in the center. As you approach the main crossroads in the village turn east (right if you have not passed the pub) and the Chestnuts is the first house on the left. In the garden is the huge horse chestnut tree that dominates the center of the village. You can turn into the drive ( it slopes upwards). The old village green is to the left of the drive - that's our front garden and good for playing sports and ball games. Our old Jaguar and Saab are at the top of the drive in front of the green double garage doors. Walk up the steps to your right, past our big glassy "office" where we work when we are home, and follow the steps around to the sliding doors. Once inside, you'll find yourself in our book lined hallway. Ahead of you on a shelf is a 50 million year old fossil fish and a model X-15 (to remind the kids what amazing things people can achieve). To your left is the main living room. Sharp left is the shower room. Ahead is the kitchen and to the right the bathroom and master bedroom. The master bedroom is furnished in a minimalist style. Overhead lights operate over the bed with a switch next to the beds. There is an iPod/iPhone dock at the head of the bed. Be careful with the blinds, they are a little complex. The bathroom has brass/gold fitting tiled walls and an elegant Victorian style bath. There is a bookcase with children's books outside the door. Heading back to the entrance area the kitchen is to your right. It is spacious and charmingly pine paneled. The second bedroom leads off the kitchen on the left with twin beds - giving privacy between the bedrooms. Back in the hall again and facing the front door the living room is on the right. This large comfortable room has a 42" plasma TV connected to a mac. You can watch Netflix or listen to music with Spotify all through high spec Harmon Kardon speakers and using the 42" display. Next to the TV is a gas log fire. Just reach around to the top right of the fire to turn it on or off with the simple switch. It looks completely convincing but is safer and easier than a real fire. On the right of the room are sliding doors that lead out onto a secluded patio with vines growing on sheltering walls, good for breakfast, barbecues or dining al fresco. Other things to note We are generally pet free, but ask first if you have a small, clean pet and we will try to accommodate. The property is very well placed for the Silverstone Grand Prix and Silverstone Circuit.
