Woburn Downs

Development Overview

Woburn Downs is a new build development by Barratt Homes, situated in the Eaton Leys area of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire (MK17 9GF). The development offers a selection of three and four-bedroom energy-efficient houses, providing a residential community on the southern edge of Milton Keynes. The site is now highly established, with 95% of the new homes already sold, making final plot reservations a priority for prospective buyers. The available new build homes at Woburn Downs are currently priced from approximately £400,000 to £646,000.

Property Details

The remaining new build homes consist of two primary property sizes: three and four-bedroom houses. Available house types include the three-bedroom Maidstone, often presented as an end-terrace or semi-detached option, with prices starting from £400,000 for selected plots, and the three-bedroom Wilbye. The four-bedroom properties, such as the Ruskin and the Alnmouth, are typically detached houses and are priced up to £646,000.

Specific features across the development, dependent on the plot and house type, can include dual-aspect lounges, utility rooms adjacent to open-plan kitchen/dining areas with French doors to the garden, and ground-floor studies suitable for home working. The four-bedroom Ruskin, for example, is a detached house featuring four double bedrooms, with an en-suite to the main bedroom, and often includes a detached single garage. Many plots are promoted with energy-efficient features, potentially including an EV charging point, and are supported by Barratt’s commitment to high-quality, energy-efficient design.

Location Benefits

Woburn Downs benefits from a strategic location near key transport links and the wider amenities of Milton Keynes. The development itself incorporates 17.7 acres of green space and three dedicated play areas.

Transport Links: The nearest mainline rail services are available at Bletchley Station (approximately 6 miles away) and Milton Keynes Central Station (approximately 7 miles away), offering direct West Coast Main Line services into London Euston with typical peak journey times of around 32 minutes from MK Central. Closer rail access is available via Woburn Sands Station (approximately 2.6 miles away), which is on the Marston Vale Line. Local bus connectivity is provided by the Arriva ‘Loop’ service, which connects the Woburn Sands area to major Milton Keynes destinations including Bletchley, MK Hospital, Stadium MK, and the city centre. Major road links such as the M1 motorway and the A5 are also easily accessible.

Local Amenities and Education: The development is within easy reach of several local schools, including Woburn Lower School (approx. 1.6 miles) and High Ash Church of England Primary School (approx. 1.7 miles). Nearby retail and dining options are accessed via the surrounding towns, with Woburn Sands and the vast retail and leisure facilities of Milton Keynes City Centre and Kingston Retail Park being a short drive or bus journey away.

Practical Information

The development is built by Barratt Homes, a developer with a long-standing reputation, having been awarded the maximum 5-Star rating by the Home Builders Federation for 16 consecutive years. Current incentives available on selected new build homes can include contributions towards deposit or mortgage payments, and schemes like Movemaker and the Key Worker Scheme may apply. Given the 95% sold-out status, interested parties should contact the developer’s sales office on Kitchener Drive immediately to enquire about specific plot availability, included upgrades, and to arrange a viewing of the remaining properties.
