FIRST RUNG OF THE LADDER: MILTON KEYNES DEVELOPER SHOWCASES NEW APARTMENTS

The high-spec apartments in the newly crowned city offer the perfect option for house hunters ready to take their first step onto the property ladder, or for those looking to downsize to something more manageable.

As well as this, apartments require low maintenance living, making them ideal for working professionals. Milton Keynes remains renowned for its excellent commuter links, including being able to travel from Milton Keynes Central Station to London in less than 40 minutes.

Brooklands is situated on Fen Street and boasts the opportunity for homebuyers to live at an established community. The growing development has a range of amenities across the development, with medical centres, shops, food outlets, schools and much more.

Fairfields on Vespasian Road is now an established community offering something for everyone, whether it be commuting access, green open spaces with play areas, on site amenities or being just a short walk from the historic town of Stony Stratford.

Alison Raine, Sales Director at Barratt Homes Northampton, said: “There are many advantages to apartment living and we are seeing a rise in the number of first time buyers and downsizers who are benefitting from these.

“Apartments as a whole are becoming more in-demand with buyers because they are well suited to a range of different lifestyles and customers.”

The modern apartments at Brooklands and Fairfields offer a spacious layout and privacy, but with the added features of an easier upkeep and a home all on one level.

Homebuyers can also benefit from the community aspect of living in an apartment block which provides residents with an added sense of security.

Barratt Homes has a variety of schemes such as the Government backed Help to Buy scheme and the Deposit Unlock initiative available to help make moving home easier for both first time buyers and second steppers.

Barratt Homes have also launched a new two bedroom Amble style show apartment at Fairfields and are encouraging those interested in buying to speak to a Sales Adviser.
