HomeAway080114: Ski home in Milton Keynes

A ski home in England! Yes, it's slightly off piste, but this one-bed, semi-detached modern cottage in the popular Heelands area of Milton Keynes is close to the indoor real snow slopes of Snozone. On the market for £119,995, the house comes with a garden and allocated parking. And you probably won't need snowchains to get there.
