Green space galore at new Milton Keynes development

A new housing development with hundreds of homes will have plenty of green space for residents to enjoy.

When complete, the development will be a collection of 225 one to five bedroom new homes.

Research ​from Business Insider reveals exposure to green spaces is associated with ​a range of significant health benefits, improving both physical and mental health.

Proven to lower stress levels, increase sleep duration and positively impact individual wellbeing, living near green space is becoming an increasingly ​important consideration for prospective homeowners.

Helping to meet the demand for housing in Milton Keynes, L&Q is delivering a collection of 225 one to five bedroom homes at ​its new development, Saxon Reach, with three and four bedroom houses ​currently available.

Prioritising green space and making sure all residents have access to private outdoor areas, most homes at Saxon Reach come with a turfed garden, complete with a garden shed and paved areas.

The rear gardens are surrounded by closed board fencing, whilst front gardens feature colourful plants and planted trees which complement the leafy surroundings of the development.

The development will also be home to a new play park.

Christine Osborne, sales and customer services director (Counties) at L&Q, said: “With outdoor space now more important than ever, we have ensured all homes at Saxon Reach come with a private garden or balcony, allowing residents to enjoy a slice of outdoor life from the comfort of their own home.

"Our Shared Ownership and Help to Buy homes at Saxon Reach provide a route on to the property ladder for a wide range of buyers.”

Saxon Reach is part of the wider Glebe Farm development area. Glebe Farm will deliver new retail and commercial facilities, and an extension of the Milton Keynes Redway system – a 200-mile network of shared use paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
