Situated at the eastern end of the Chiltern Hills, the area around Dunstable has an impressive history. Dunstable Priory was not only the place of Henry VIII’s divorce from Catherine of Aragon but also where the first ever play to be seen in England was performed, written by Geoffrey de Gorham in the 12th Century.
Other local attractions include the ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, the beautiful Grade II listed Priory House and the Grove Theatre, a multi-million pound theatre complex, which regularly stages both local and national productions.
Properties are available through the ‘Help to Buy' scheme, whereby the Government provides an equity loan of up to 20% of the value of the property which can be repaid at any time or on the sale of the property. The buyer then only needs to find a 5% deposit, and arrange a mortgage for the remainder of the purchase price.
Also available at Living @ The Edge are two bedroom homes priced from £180,000. For more information, visit bloorhomes.com.
