Skye Crescent, Newton Leys Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire

Why buy this home?

For a one-bedroom apartment, the living room offers several variations on furniture layout, and although open-plan, you could use a corner sofa to make it feel like its own space. Light is a common theme in the living room and kitchen, this is down to the double doors leading to the Juliet balcony with stunning views of Jubilee Lake.

The contemporary kitchen has been finished with white high gloss units and ash work surfaces which have been offset against a light vinyl flooring. There is plenty of room for a four-seater table and chairs without feeling too “cosy”. Integrated appliances consist of a washing machine, slim line dishwasher, and fan oven with gas cooker top.

Storage is usually at a premium in modern apartments, so you will be pleased to hear that there is a large cupboard where you can keep shoes, coats, and cleaning products.

The bedroom is light and airy due to a large window that has views over the lake. The room size is big enough for a double or king-size bed leaving enough room for wardrobes.

A well-proportioned bathroom completes this perfect starter home. Fully tiled around the bath with grey stone tiles, the glass shower screen also keeps the spray from the powerful overhead shower at bay!

Parking is allocated by one space however there is plenty of communal parking available.

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.
