Founded in Saxon times, and the county town of Buckinghamshire since the reign of Henry VIII, Aylesbury is a large expanding market town which will be undergoing major investment and redevelopment over the next four years or so. The Waterside scheme is at the heart of the plans and will deliver a new shopping centre, a prestigious new theatre, and will open up the canal basin, one of the town’s best kept secrets, for housing and wider public enjoyment. Aylesbury is ideally situated for access to many major cities, such as Birmingham and London, and is also within convenient access of Heathrow Airport. With its excellent transport links, estate agents in Aylesbury report the area is a popular place for commuters to live. Families searching for houses for sale in Aylesbury should expect to pay £220k+ for a modern semi-detached property.
