Home of the Day – The ‘Falkirk’, Barratt Homes

The WhatHouse? team reports on our current favourite new home for sale right now – today, we pick the ‘Falkirk’ apartment at Barratt Homes Eagles’ Rest in the village of Wavendon, Buckinghamshire.   

Apartments are just a part of this development on the outskirts of Milton Keynes – they are complemented by a range of three- and four-bedroom house type too. Plot 158 is a top-floor example of a two-bedroom property priced £230,995, situated on the top floor of a low-rise, contemporary-design apartment block. 

On one side, the ‘Falkirk’ layout has a separate kitchen with plenty of worktop and cupboard space, and on the other, a spacious lounge and dining area. The master bedroom comes complete with a balcony area. There’s another double bedroom and a modern family bathroom. In the hallway is a double storage cupboard in which to tuck away any clutter. 

If not purchased through another offer or scheme, this plot would come with an upgraded kitchen with integrated appliances worth £3,200, and flooring provided throughout worth £2,224. This home comes with a single allocated parking space. 

This development is on the southeast edge of Milton Keynes, a town which combines first-class shops and amenities, with excellent road and rail links and proximity to scenic countryside. There's a brand new primary school just a short walk away from home here. 

The complete range of homes currently for sale at Barratt Homes Eagles’ Rest range from £219,995 to £529,995, all available through the government-backed Help to Buy equity loan scheme. There’s an unfurnished ‘Falkirk’ view home and three furnished show houses open (including the ‘Maidstone’ type we looked at recently) which can give visitors a first-hand look at standard specification and upgrade options.
