Hello chaps.

Right we moved up from Welwyn to rent in MK with a view to buying a place to the north of MK in south northants.
BUT! an opportunity may be arising in newton longville to the south west of bletchley.

so does anyone know the village? schools, pubs, chav-rating that sort of thing. overall our first impressions of the village were generally good....

ttfn

hmm... i have been wondering where the infamous lakes estate was (i did wonder if it was to do with that ruddy great towerblock in bletchley. so know i know it IS that place.. do you think it's daft to live in possibly the nearest village possible..?! hehe although i don't imagine they leave...

_______

without going in to too many details... if we could get it this place is awesome if you like the sort of thing it is...has great potential.. and a good plot. i have found that people rate the quality of the facilities and that the restaurant has a great reputation. schools seem fine.

so we're down to the tip which is the other side of the village. and which os bigger than i thought it was(!). and this incinerator. and kind of being near bletchley. but it's AVDC so at least it shouldn't be subsumed into MK (perhaps).

other things we saw this weekend were: 1) a bit dear and nouveau riche 2) old but didn't look old and was a semi albeit with 3' of stone between them!

but this one 3) was a really nice unique house on a unique plot... hmmmm!?!?! plus once redecorated/rebathroomed and marketed by strutt&parker would be worth a fair bit (although we'd be buying for the long term).

There's also a development of 5,400 homes on the cards between Newton Longville and the A421 at Bottledump Roundabout... Bloody huge and will presumably change the character of the village somewhat. Can't remember the name but will post it when I do.
interesting..

And where you live now as it must the perfect area to live?
to be fair to here it is light and shade where she lives compared to around there even given my exposure to the two areas..!
