Why buy this home?
A problem with modern apartments is that the open-plan living room/kitchen can make you feel like you spend all your time in one room.
Whilst still open-plan to the living room, there is an extra wall creating a horseshoe shape which not only provides extra space for cupboards and worksurfaces, but also the feeling of two separate rooms. Not only that, but it also helps block noise from the integrated dishwasher and washer/dryer.
The living area stands at an impressive 171 sq.ft (approx) which means plenty of space for a comfortable sofa and dining table should you wish. Although on the ground floor, the apartment sits slightly higher than the road, meaning that not only do you benefit from a lack of stairs but also don't have people walking past your window.
Storage is usually at a premium in modern apartments so you'll be pleased to learn that that is not only one but two storage cupboards. One is extremely large with plenty of room for all everything you don't want on display! It could even be utilised as a walk-in wardrobe with the simple addition of two hanging rails.
The master bedroom is a comfortable size with a TV point and plenty of room for a wardrobe and bedside tables. The second bedroom is smaller size that can still fit a double bed, or be used as an extremely comfortable single bedroom.
Finally, the family bathroom is tastefully fully tiled around the bath with grey tiles. It benefits from an overhead shower and radiator to warm up your towels on those cold winter mornings!
Whilst there are numerous apartments in Newton Leys to choose from, few have a covered carport as opposed to a parking space which is a brilliant feature of this property. There is also a secure bike storage and bin shed.
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.
Newton Leys Pavilion is now open and has daily classes such as Five Star Fitness, Badminton, Amy's Dance Academy, Zumba and Yoga. There is also a community hall and meeting rooms, making it ideal for parties and private functions.
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. The Turing Key pub has just opened its doors, and is in good company as there 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.

About this agent
Lion Estates - Milton Keynes
314 Midsummer Boulevard
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
MK9 2UB
01908 951942Lion Estates is a team of estate agents offering the most personal service in the industry. Our goal is to cover our costs by adding value in the form of a higher sales price, better communication and reduce stress for our clients. We aim to be your chosen property professional for life, offering advice and support even when you're not looking to move home. A New Breed Of Estate Agent It's no secret that estate agents in the UK don't have the best reputation compared to other countries across the world... We believe this is down to the high transactional nature of the typical estate agency business model. The need to sell high levels of homes results in poor marketing, worse communication and under-performance which leaves clients feeling short-changed. The agent who values your home and wins your trust isn't the agent who shows potential buyers around your home and goes on to negotiate your sales price. This crucial task falls to the least experienced staff member, who more often than not knows nothing about your home and hopes the potential buyer will decide to offer full asking price off their own back. Don't blame the agent though; they are likely conducting viewings on 30 - 50 homes, such is their business model, so it's impossible for them to know every detail about every home. But the person it impacts the most is the person who is paying the agent's fee - you. This, however, is through choice and not necessity - there is a better way. Imagine a service designed around what's best for the client, always putting your needs first. A truly personal service tailored to the different needs of each client as, after all, everyone's reason for moving is different. Not only that but every home is different - even if you have the same house style as someone else on your street, no other home has the same plot, orientation and feel of your home. You and your home are unique, and we for one believe you deserve to be treated like it. The estate agency industry has failed to evolve over the last 40 + years. It has failed to keep up with the changing needs of clients as the world around us has changed rapidly. Finally that change has come - welcome to the era of the personal estate agent.
