Take in the 'view' at Drayton Resevoir in Daventry

Taylor Wimpey West Midlands has launched a prestigious £6.5 million development in Daventry that will bring 56 new properties to the locality.

Drayton View is a picturesque cul-de-sac development made up of one and two bedroom apartments plus two, three and four bedroom homes – with panoramic views over Drayton Reservoir and far reaching vistas over open countryside.

Located at the more spacious top end of the new Middlemore development and nicely tucked away at the rear, Drayton View is located at the northern edge of Daventry town and easily accessible from the M1. And this burgeoning community overall enjoys new play areas, nature trails and cycleways, plus its own pub (the 18th century listed buildings that were once Middlemore Farm have been lovingly converted) and convenience store.

Drayton View is made up of designer apartments, mews and semi-detached family properties and executive detached homes. It benefits from lots of allocated parking and long established hedgerows, protected mature trees and open fields to the side.

Nearby Drayton Reservoir is one of best for carp fishing in England and surrounded by trees, waterside vegetation and a jetty-style wooden walkway. It also feeds into the Grand Union Canal, which is a conservation area and has lovely towpath walks. And also next door is the 140 acre Daventry Country Park, which boasts another impressive reservoir, along with circular walks, picnic areas and a nature reserve that attracts many rare species of birds and flowering plants.

Sales manager Jan Titley says: “If ever there was a best-of-both-worlds development then this is it, because you’re close enough to the flourishing town centre to be able to take full advantage of all it amenities, while the stunning location, expansive views and recreational facilities lend themselves to a semi-rural existence that’s hard to come by these days.”

First availability at Drayton View is made up of spacious three bedroom family homes from just £152,995. The new Sales Office off Farnborough Road is open Thursday – Monday from 10am – 5pm. For details visit taylorwimpey.co.uk/westmids.
