Why Buy This home.....
As soon as you step into this wonderful apartment, it’s clear that no detail has been overlooked, with stylish upgrades throughout, including the beautiful flooring that flows seamlessly through the main living space.
For a modest apartment, there’s an impressive amount of storage in the hallway, thanks to a recessed area and a double built-in cupboard. The first room you come to is the principal bedroom, which is spacious enough to comfortably fit a king-size bed. Also it has a very handy en-suite. Whether you’re sharing with a friend or welcoming guests, everyone can enjoy their own space and privacy. The second bedroom is a spacious double, offering plenty of room for guests to stay comfortably, or it could easily be transformed into a cozy home office, whatever suits your lifestyle.
Natural light is one of this apartment’s best features, thanks to not one but two balconies, a Juliet balcony, and a larger one you can step out onto, with space for a small table and chairs to bring a sense of the outdoors into the living room. The living area itself is generously sized, easily accommodating a two-piece suite or a modern corner sofa. Having a separate living room is also a rare find in this development, giving you a dedicated space to unwind and relax after a long day.
The kitchen has been upgraded with integrated appliances, stylish cashmere units, and wood-effect worktops. It comes complete with a double oven, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. Two windows flood the space with natural light, and there’s plenty of room for a dining table. Being separate from the main living area makes it a lovely, practical space for cooking and entertaining without disturbing the rest of the home.
Parking is a breeze, with your own allocated space as well as plenty of additional community parking available for visitors.
More about the location.....
For a new development, Newton Leys is steeped in history. With some parts dating back as far as the Iron Age. However, it was more recently famous for brick-making from the late 19th Century, in the form of Newton Longville Brickworks. When the Brickworks closed in 1978, an old claypit was flooded to create Jubilee Lake, now more commonly known as Willow Lake, easily the jewel in Newton Leys' crown.
Newton Leys is a district that covers the southern tip of Bletchley and is split between the Borough of Milton Keynes and Aylesbury Vale. Conveniently located next to the A4146 and A5, it gives easy access to Milton Keynes, Leighton Buzzard and the M1. You have a choice of either Bletchley or Leighton Buzzard Train Stations which both offer services directly into London Euston and Birmingham.
Newton Leys Primary School opened in 2016 and accepts children from age 3 (nursery) to age 11 (Year 6). Many parents take advantage of the Grammar Schools in Aylesbury for Secondary education being only approximately 11 miles away.
In 2017 Newton Leys District Centre opened providing local conveniences such as a Costa, Chinese Takeaway, Fish and Chip Shop, Barbers, Dominos and a 8000 sq. Ft Asda. At the end of April 2019 the Turing Key pub opened its doors and has already cemented itself as the heart of the community. It is in good company as there also numerous village pubs within a few miles such as The Three Locks at Stoke Hammond, The Crooked Billet at Newton Longville and The Betsey Wynne at Swanbourne.
