Property information

Built in 1692, The Bull Hotel was originally an important Coaching Inn, used frequently by the 'Beehive Coach' which ran between London and Wellingborough as a stopping house. Throughout it's time it was responsible for holding important meetings for the Inland Revenue (1883) as well as a popular venue for Dinners and Auctions.

Neighbourhood information

Olney is a market town and civil parish in the Borough of Milton Keynes, South East England. It is also part of the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire, with a population of around 6,500 people. It lies on the River Great Ouse, very close to the borders with Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire and equidistant from Northampton, Bedford and Milton Keynes. It has easy access to the M1 at Junction 14 (approximately seven miles) and fast train links to London from Milton Keynes Central or Bedford (each approximately twelve miles distant). It is a popular tourist destination, perhaps best known for the Olney Pancake Race[2] and for the Olney Hymns by William Cowper and John Newton.
