Living in Milton Parva
The district's most sought-after village - rectories, walls and water meadows.
Milton Parva sits two miles upstream of Wexbridge among water meadows, and has long been the village buyers name first when asked where they would really like to be. It is small, conspicuously cared for, and arranged around the church of St Botolph, a green triangle of lime trees and a lane that goes nowhere in particular, which is much of the point.
Housing here is predominantly period: the Old Rectory and its former outbuildings, brick-and-timber farmhouses, estate cottages and a handful of discreet twentieth-century houses in large gardens. Very little comes to the market in any year, and properties are frequently sold to buyers who registered with us long in advance.
The village supports a church, a village hall with a busy calendar and a respected gastropub, the Plough, with everyday shopping a five-minute drive into Wexbridge. Children travel to Wexbridge for school, with a private prep school a further three miles on. The lanes are popular with cyclists and the bridleway network is among the best in the district.
