First-Time Buyer Family Move In To Hanslope Home
Posted 19 January 2022 by
Keith OsborneA family has relocated from a rented property in Hertfordshire to a detached home at Hayfield Walk in the picturesque Buckinghamshire village of Hanslope. The Adeuja family is amongst the first to move into WhatHouse? Housebuilder of the Year Hayfield’s latest development, which features Arts and Crafts-style traditional architecture, contrasted by an array of eco-focused technology.
Michelle, aged 36, Femi (43), Tara (8) and Tobi (6) were previously living in an apartment in Hatfield town centre before making the 45-mile move to the semi-rural village of Hanslope. As their three-bedroom detached ‘Avon’ home was priced above the new threshold for Help to Buy, they used the Proportunity scheme to assist with getting on the property ladder. The family benefited from Hayfield’s exclusive Key Worker Discount scheme, which knocked £5,000 off the purchase price, as Michelle is a social worker, while husband Femi is a chartered accountant.
Michelle Adeuja said: “Moving close to Milton Keynes has always been something we’ve wanted to do, as the quality of life is so good. We found out about Hayfield and were so impressed – I think it was fate that we were the first to move into Hayfield Walk! My husband has an electric car, so the green specification features were a big factor for us. The rapid car charging point is a must-have, and we can also appreciate how the air source heat pump enables us to further reduce our carbon footprint. Overall, the look and feel of the house has such a wow factor. We are thrilled with the quality of all the finishing touches, which our family and friends have really picked up on.
“Using Proportunity helped us to finally purchase our first home. The lending threshold is higher than Help to Buy, but the scheme works in a similar way. We’re really pleased that it’s enabled us to buy a spacious and luxurious family home – the main bedroom even has a designated dressing area.”
Accessed off Castlethorpe Road within the Borough of Milton Keynes, two-bedroom bungalows, and a range of four-bedroom family homes are included in the current release. Three- and five-bedroom executive homes will be included in future phases. The spacious development of 101 homes will also incorporate landscaped Public Open Space, public footpaths and a children’s play area. It is within easy walking distance of the range of amenities within Hanslope’s historic village centre and the Ofsted ‘Outstanding’-rated primary school.
A large interactive model and a four-bedroom show home are enabling interested parties to take a closer look at the site layout and various house designs. Prices for the current release range from £450,000 to £670,000.
Each Hayfield Walk kitchen features a range of built-in Bosch appliances, with larger homes enjoying impressive bi-fold doors leading out to the private garden. Each dedicated study or smallest bedroom features improved sound performance construction to create the ideal work from home environment. Fitted wardrobes are installed into the principal bedrooms of all four- and five-bedroom homes. Other features include ROCA/Laufen bathrooms, Minoli ceramic tiles, heritage bronze ironmongery, Farrow & Ball paint and Ring doorbells.
Hayfield Walk is well-served by bus stops providing regular services to the neighbouring villages, Milton Keynes – located seven miles away, and Northampton – located 10 miles away. This part of Buckinghamshire is very popular with people moving out of the South East to enjoy a more rural lifestyle, due to the proximity of train stations in Wolverton and Milton Keynes, which provide direct regular services to London Euston.
Hayfield is creating a new access road and footpaths to adoptable standards from Castlethorpe Road, and the development has been designed to seamlessly assimilate into the surrounding environment. The family houses and bungalows are being constructed with a high degree of consideration to the local vernacular, with features including brick detailing, traditional porches and quoining.
The Hayfield Walk show home is open seven days a week from 10.00am to 5.00pm. It is located off Castlethorpe Road in Hanslope, MK19 7HQ. Find out more from Hayfield.
