About Milton Keynes
There’s nowhere quite like Milton Keynes in the UK, in our opinion! MK was built subsuming 17 villages in the area, the road network laid out in a grid system and was the largest of the 1960s ‘New Towns Movement’.
So, whilst the older generation may still be snooty about a ‘new town’ and casual visitors may never venture from the dual carriageways, it genuinely has a combination of purpose-built, well-designed modern living and traditional village communities unavailable elsewhere in such close proximity to urban amenities. Milton Keynes was designed as a live/work location, a philosophy that holds true today with the road, cycle and footpath networks, linking the green and communal spaces with the business and commercial sectors, all easily accessible from the residential areas.
For those who already know it, these benefits are self-evident. However, Milton Keynes is becoming a ‘property hotspot’ as these advantages dawn on commuters wanting a short train-ride to London, plus all the facilities and entertainments of a large town. Milton Keynes has areas to suit all budgets, and all the housing options available from high-end lakeside & riverside properties, large executive homes on the golf course to village green cottages or city apartments.
Our clients may be moving some distance, or be local; they may be too busy or not know where to begin; they may be unable to find a suitable house or have too much choice – see our case studies to see how we’ve helped people in your situation.

London Euston is 33 minutes by train from Milton Keynes Central, while Heathrow Airport is an hour-and-a-quarter and Gatwick an hour-and-a-half. Luton Airport is 20 minutes. The M1 runs to the west, and the A421 runs East to the M40.
There are areas with their own strong village identity within Milton Keynes itself, such as Shenley Brook End, Shenley Church End, Woolstone, Woughton on the Green, Loughton which lean towards more traditional styling. New build is obviously in abundance, for those who like clean lines and modern living.
