Syresham – A Brief Description
The village of Syresham remains unspoilt and preserves much its old-world charm, providing an ideal location for families seeking a tranquil location but with the benefit of good amenities and easy access to the arterial roads of the A43, M1 and M40.
Milton Keynes and Northampton are approximately 30 minutes’ drive from where train journeys can be made to London Euston in 1 hour. For a more local range of amenities and facilities, the market towns of Brackley and Towcester are just a short drive away.
Syresham is fortunate to have the beautiful church of St James the Great. Located on a steeply banked hillside to the northeast of the village this C13th church has an impressive, shingled spire which rises next to a backdrop of equally inspiring trees.

The beautiful Church of St James the Great
The village is surrounded by the remnants of ancient woodlands used as hunting grounds for past royalty. The source of the River Great Ouse is purported to be located nearby and flows as a small brook passing through the village on its 142m journey to Norfolk into the Wash.
Local amenities within the village include The King’s Head – a traditional coaching inn; post office and village store; Methodist Chapel, modern village hall, and Sports and Social Club.
Syresham is justly proud of its Primary School which is at the heart of the village. Additional schooling is available at Akeley Wood School, Beachborough School, Magdalen College School, and Winchester House School in Brackley.

Photography
Creating the best first impression of your home is essential in order to achieve a quick sale.

Floor Plans
Our in-house surveyors are experienced CAD operatives and we draft all our own floor plans. This enables us to ensure a higher degree of accuracy than the typical estate agent floor plan. We also provide a level of detail that enables potential purchasers to understand the space and amenities within your home. We obtain our measurements for the floor plans using the latest laser scanners which helps to ensure quick, safe, and accurate collection of data.

Latest News and Projects
Dry Rot in Action
During a recent survey of a Grade II Listed property, we encountered an active outbreak of dry rot within the basement. The fungus had formed extensive mycelium and a distinct rhizomorph “feeding strand” between timber stacks — a striking demonstration of how opportunistic and dynamic timber-decay fungi can be when the conditions are right.
The Return of the HIP?
The Home Information Pack was scrapped over a decade ago, widely dismissed as ineffective and bureaucratic. But with property transactions still plagued by delays and fall-throughs, is it time to revisit the idea — and this time, get it right?
Brick Noggings on Tudor Buildings
Our surveyors have a soft spot for brick noggings on Tudor buildings. These distinctive brick panels, set between timber frames, were a mark of wealth in their time and provide valuable clues about a building’s history, construction, and condition today.
