Development Overview

Willow Park is a new build development by Bovis Homes, located on Osier Way in the historic market town of Buckingham, Buckinghamshire (MK18 1TG). The development comprises a collection of 3, 4, and 5 bedroom new build houses, designed to provide a range of options for first-time buyers and larger families. Current guide prices for available homes start from approximately £475,000 for a 3-bedroom property and range up to £795,000 for five-bedroom detached house types, with specific pricing dependent on the plot and chosen house model. The location is situated on the southwest edge of Buckingham, offering a balance of rolling countryside access and connectivity to major centres.

Property Details

The properties at Willow Park are constructed with contemporary design and traditional build quality, and all benefit from a 10-year NHBC Buildmark warranty. Standard features across the range often include popular additions such as open-plan living areas, stylish kitchens, and principal bedrooms with en suites. A number of house types are available, including the five-bedroom detached 'The Birch' model, which offers substantial accommodation including a dedicated sitting room, a study/dining room, a showcase kitchen/dining/family room with built-in appliances and bi-fold doors, a separate utility room, and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. 'The Birch' also includes a double garage and off-street parking. In line with modern sustainability requirements, the homes include PV solar panels and provision for electric vehicle (EV) charging points, though prospective buyers should contact the developer to confirm the availability of these features on specific plots.

Location and Transport

Willow Park is strategically located just off the A421 bypass, which provides a direct link to the city of Milton Keynes, located approximately 12 miles away. This road network also connects to the A43 and M40 motorway, facilitating travel towards Oxford, Birmingham, and London. For rail commuters, the nearest mainline station is Milton Keynes Central, which offers direct services to London Euston with the fastest journey times around 32 minutes, and an average journey time of 46–54 minutes. Alternatively, Bicester North station is approximately 9 miles away. Local public transport is supported by bus services, including the X5 route to Oxford (via Bicester), and the X6 and X60 routes running between Aylesbury and Milton Keynes Central, accessible from Buckingham High Street and Tesco stops. Buckingham town centre, with its historic setting and the River Great Ouse, is a walk of approximately 1.1 miles from the development.

Amenities and Schools

Local amenities include the Waitrose store on High Street Meadow Walk (MK18 1RS), which is situated in the town centre. The development is well-positioned for educational facilities, being within 0.4 miles of the highly-regarded Royal Latin Grammar School, and 0.5 miles from Buckingham School. Leisure options include Stowe House, Gardens and Parkland, less than 4 miles away, and the Silverstone motor racing circuit, a 10-mile drive. For extensive shopping, the Centre:mk indoor shopping centre in Milton Keynes is a 12-mile drive. The developer, Bovis Homes, is a major UK housebuilder, and while they have achieved 5-star ratings in the HBF star rating scheme in some periods, a review of public feedback indicates a mixed track record, with previous new build purchasers reporting recurring snagging and customer service issues. Prospective buyers are advised to factor this into their due diligence alongside the structural warranty.

The range of new build homes is currently available for purchase, with prices spanning the £475,000 to £795,000 bracket. Specific completion timelines and viewing arrangements for individual plots should be obtained directly from the Willow Park Bovis Homes sales centre on Osier Way.
