Overview

Why buy this home...

As you enter the apartment you are greeted with a good sized entrance hall with hard flooring, with a large built in storage cupboard and built in shelving unit - ideal to store coats and shoes out of the way.

Carrying on down the hallway to the left hand side is the main bathroom which is generous in size, with a window and a three piece suite. To the right hand side of the hallway is the bedroom, with a floor to ceiling window offering plenty of natural light throughout. It features an alcove suitable for a large wardrobe as well as having the space for a chest of drawers too.

Finally at the end of the hall you enter the open plan kitchen and living space. This room has triple aspect windows, including a floor to ceiling window and a Juliet balcony, so the space feels really light and airy. The kitchen has plenty of cupboard space, and is fitted with full size AEG integrated appliances including dishwasher, washer/dryer and fridge/freezer and also features under-cupboard lighting. The living room is spacious and the current owner has it furnished with a three seater sofa and a four seater dining table and chairs without it feeling too "cosy", and creating a welcoming space for when friends visit.

Parking is provided by one allocated space as well as having plenty of communal parking nearby.

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, Dry Cleaners, Hair Salon 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.
