Final Apartments Launching At Milton Keynes Development

L&Q is offering first-time buyers a final opportunity to secure an apartment at the popular Saxon Reach development, a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Milton Keynes.

The exclusive collection of one- and two-bedroom Shared Ownership homes from WhatHouse? Award-winning developer L&Q will be released on 15 July, the last phase of properties coming to market following four years of sold-out launches.

Saxon Reach is made up of 225 homes, and the new release is aimed at those looking to step onto the property ladder in the thriving city, with deposits for the homes starting from just £8,700.

Saxon Reach forms one section of the wider Glebe Farm development area, an exciting new residential quarter for Milton Keynes, which will ultimately deliver an array of new retail, commercial and sports and leisure facilities for residents to enjoy. A number of facilities are already open on-site, including Glebe Farm School, a brand-new all-through school with 1,500 pupils and a 39-place full-time nursery.

Claire Brenlund, sales and marketing director for L&Q comments: “Our summer release marks the final launch of Shared Ownership homes at Saxon Reach – a scheme which we have been selling consistently for over four years. Throughout that time, the properties have been popular with a diverse range of local buyers looking for a route onto the property ladder in Milton Keynes – from young professionals and couples to families and more mature buyers. It’s no surprise that homes at Saxon Reach have been so desirable, with Milton Keynes offering the best of both worlds in terms of idyllic countryside and commuter links. Our affordable offering at Saxon Reach means that buyers need not compromise on location and can instead move into their dream home in the highly sought-after town.”

L&Q’s apartments at Saxon Reach all feature a specification which is elegant yet modern, encompassing a wide range of high-quality finishes. Designed with practicality in mind, kitchens are fitted with Nobilia units which are beautifully engineered to ensure they become the focal point of the room. Enabling first-time buyers to move straight in, a fridge-freezer, a combined washer/dryer and an integrated dishwasher are all included as standard, at no additional cost. Stylish bathrooms are complete with contemporary white sanitaryware, modern chrome fixtures and a thermostatic shower with a shower rail kit as well as a folding bath screen. Meanwhile, generously sized bedrooms are fitted with soft carpet and mirrored sliding wardrobes in the master suites. A sought-after feature for any buyer, all the apartments in the new launch come with a private patio or balcony.

Saxon Reach is perfectly situated to reach both the amenities of Milton Keynes as well as the array of nearby countryside and green spaces. In the town centre there are a wealth of retail facilities, from bustling shopping centres to independent boutiques. With over 350 restaurants on offer, Milton Keynes is the place to be for foodies, whether it be fine dining and exquisite tasting menus or homely pub grub and international cuisine.

For more peaceful pursuits, Milton Keynes is home to over 6,000 acres of parkland, dotted with rivers, lakes, woodland, and trails. For weekend trips close to home, Saxon Reach is a 6-minute drive away from Willen Lake, home to the Treetop Extreme experience, water sports and a vast selection of scenic walking routes.

Milton Keynes Central railway station is an 11-minute drive from Saxon Reach, with direct trains to London Euston taking residents just 35 minutes. Woburn Sands railway station is also a five-minute drive away and offers services to Bletchley and Bedford which take just 11 and 31 minutes respectively. For those who like travelling on two wheels, residents enjoy easy access to the Milton Keynes Redway system, a 200-mile network of shared use paths for cyclists and pedestrians, allowing an easy commute into town by bike.

Prices start from £87,000 for a 40% share of a one-bedroom Shared Ownership apartment (full market value: £217,500) and from £101,000 for a 40% share of a two-bedroom Shared Ownership apartment (full market value: £252,500).
