On Saturday 5 September from 11am–4pm, Redrow South Midlands is unveiling two stunning show homes at Salden Place on Buckingham Road.  

 

To officially open the development, chef Dylan Bachelet will join the sales team for a ceremonial ribbon cutting to mark the beginning of a new community.

 

The 2024 Bake Off finalist will be showcasing his culinary talents with a live demonstration at 11am in one of the show homes. Visitors will be treated to one of Dylan’s specialities: choux bun desserts.

 

Guests can also take a tour of the new site and explore the display properties: the Leamington Lifestyle and the Highgate. These homes offer a blend of classic features and timeless luxury, from the Arts and Crafts movement-inspired exteriors to the light-filled, airy interiors, creating the perfect setting for modern family living.

 

They also incorporate eco-friendly features, including heat pumps and enhanced insulation, delivering energy-efficient homes that meet the needs of today's families.

 

Emma Wetherill, Sales Manager at Redrow South Midlands, said: “We are delighted to invite the people of Milton Keynes to join us as we celebrate the launch of Salden Place! We’re thrilled to be bringing beautifully crafted homes to the region.

 

“With a famous face in our show home whipping up delicious, sweet treats, we’re sure it’s going to be a very busy day. We can’t wait to show all this fantastic new development has to offer and how each of our homes provide something a little different for families and couples of all shapes and sizes at different life stages.

 

“Our sales team will also be on hand to answer questions and talk about the array of incentives, including the popular part-exchange scheme designed to make moving easier.

 

“Our doors are opening soon and we can’t wait to welcome everyone in!”

 

Located on the edge of Milton Keynes, Salden Place offers a mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom Heritage Collection homes from Redrow South Midlands – bringing a total of 144 new properties to the region.  

 

The development is close to the M1 and the A5 and next to Bletchley Station and Milton Keynes Central Station, which offers direct services to London Euston and Birmingham New Street. It is also well suited for growing families, with an excellent selection of schools for children of all ages nearby.
