New Milton Keynes properties in a great location

The community spirit and superb semi-rural location of Taylor Wimpey’s Willow Lake development of houses for sale in Milton Keynes couldn’t be better for homebuyers Drew and Paul Stevens-King.

They say there’s no place like home, and as far as Drew and Paul Stevens-King are concerned, that’s definitely the case.

After relocating to Taylor Wimpey’s sought-after Willow Lake development of property for sale in Newton Longville, Milton Keynes, Drew and Paul have declared it the perfect neighbourhood in which to live.

“We have found a community spirit at Willow Lake that we didn’t think existed anymore,” says Drew (45), who moved into their new four-bedroom property in Milton Keynes with Paul (40), in January.

“We’ve made so many friends since moving here, the type you know you’ll be friends with forever. We even celebrated the royal wedding together with a street party!

“We have found everyone’s there for each other at Willow Lake and that helps you feel safe and secure – and you can’t put a price on that.”

It’s not just the neighbours that have impressed Drew and Paul. They’ve also been bowled over by the idyllic setting of the development of houses to buy in Milton Keynes.

“We may only be a 10-minute drive from the centre of Milton Keynes, but we are in the heart of the countryside here,” says Drew.

“Our house overlooks a lake, which provides us with amazing views. Plus, there is lots of open space and some beautiful walks on the doorstep. It’s such a calming place to live; the sort of place that, when we are on holiday or out enjoying ourselves, we still look forward to returning home!”

Six months since their move, Drew and Paul are still thrilled with their four-bedroom ‘Falcondale’ townhouse.

Drew says: “We visited a few developments by different developers and felt that Taylor Wimpey’s homes have a superior build quality. They are well insulated, not just from the elements, but also from noise, and economical to run.

“The rooms are large, there’s plenty of space and the house is very light.”

Drew and Paul both work for major holiday firms and are involved in coaching staff in customer care. This means they are well-placed to judge the customer service Taylor Wimpey provides.

“Everyone at Taylor Wimpey, without exception, has been nothing but friendly, professional and a pleasure to deal with,” says Drew.

“You would expect customer care to be more important to a firm when it is trying to persuade you to buy something, so it was truly refreshing when, after we committed to buying our house at Willow Lake, the after-care continued to be wonderful.

“Because of the commitment Taylor Wimpey has shown to us, we have been recommending the company to everyone we know – and, as an organisation, you can’t receive a better recommendation than by word of mouth.”

A stunning selection of new houses is available at Willow Lake, with prices starting from as little as £185,000 for a three-bedroom home, £230,000 for a four-bedroom design, just £330,000 for a five-bedroom detached house and £385,000 for a six-bedroom property.

Selected new homes come complete with fitted carpets and blinds, while each includes an integrated kitchen with built-in oven, hob and hood.

Overlooking the picturesque Jubilee Lake on the southern edge of Milton Keynes, Willow Lake will feature a range of facilities on the doorstep including a primary school, a recreational park, a hotel and leisure amenities.

A supermarket, nurseries and schools, and a choice of pubs and restaurants, can be found just a short distance away.

For commuters, the A5 and the M1 are just a few minutes’ drive from the development, while those travelling further afield will appreciate that Luton Airport is only 25 miles away. Services from Bletchley railway station to Euston put central London just over an hour away by train.
