LANDMARK KINGSBROOK DEVELOPMENT SHORTLISTED IN NATIONAL AWARDS

Kingsbrook, a mixed-use development by Barratt David Wilson Homes in Aylesbury, has been shortlisted in the First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards 2021. The development has been recognised in the ‘Best Large Development’ category and is one of six national projects to be selected. Kingsbrook has been shortlisted by an expert panel of judges, and Barratt David Wilson North Thames is calling for local support to vote for the development.

The award aims to recognise developments of 41 homes or more that have used the best design and quality to create an affordable, desirable and inspirational environment, and provided additional facilities to benefit the local community and surrounding neighbourhoods. Kingsbrook was judged based on its design, affordability, and how well it caters to those planning to take their first steps onto the housing ladder.

Karly Williams, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt David Wilson North Thames, comments: “Kingsbrook is an exciting development with nature at its heart, delivering a wide range of new homes alongside the creation of green open spaces, new schools and additional community facilities. The development has proven particularly popular with first time buyers who are keen to invest in the wider lifestyle that Kingsbrook offers.”

Barratt David Wilson North Thames has worked closely with the RSPB and Aylesbury Vale District Council to make Kingsbrook the UK’s first fully nature-friendly housing development, and has also achieved Built for Life status. In total, the development will deliver 2,500 new homes, with 60% of the land given over to open spaces, including a 250-acre nature reserve, allotments, community orchards, parks and playgrounds.

Karly adds: “Kingsbrook is a truly unique development that has been designed with sustainability in mind, preserving the environment for wildlife and creating new homes for buyers. We are so pleased to have been recognised and shortlisted in this year’s First Time Buyer Readers’ Awards.”

The final decision on who wins the award will be made by readers of First Time Buyer Magazine, who can vote on their favourite project in each category until the deadline of Friday 6thAugust at midnight. The winners will be announced at a gala luncheon in September.

The annual awards ceremony celebrates the best and most acclaimed professionals across the property industry. In association with First Time Buyer Magazine, the celebration showcases some of the amazing ways housebuilders help aspirational buyers onto the housing ladder.
