Santa Cruz Avenue, Newton Leys, Milton Keynes MK3

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.
