Wolverton Park by Places For People

Description

Set in a large area of parkland, among canal side walks and country paths are Wolverton Park’s award-winning town houses, mews houses, apartments and maisonettes representing a new chapter for this iconic railway heritage site.

Soaring majestic rail sheds, once home to The Royal Train, are now beautiful parkside homes. Mews houses celebrate features from former locomotive workshops. Stylish new buildings create stunning apartments fronting the canal. There are also commercial opportunities with spaces suitable for offices, shops, gym and restaurant/bar.

Just four minutes by train to Milton Keynes Central and within an hour’s commute of London and Birmingham, start your life’s next journey at Wolverton Park.


Wolverton, the country’s first ‘new railway town’, was established by the London and Birmingham Railway Company in 1838. Despite the steam revolution, trains only had a range of fifty miles. Wolverton was the perfect location for locomotives to take on coal and water in order to continue their journey.

Soon, a station with train building workshops developed where the first national trains were designed, built and maintained. Railway workers arrived. The population of Wolverton grew.

In 1885 the Railway Company created Wolverton Park for its employees to encourage them to keep fit and take part in sporting activities. The Park boasted a velodrome, bowling green and athletics stadium.

In 1889 an imposing carriage-lifting workshop was constructed. The landmark brick building, with its soaring roofline and bold industrial design, ultimately became home to The Royal Train – a role retained until 1991. With the development of Wolverton Park, careful conversion and conservation saw the sheds start a new life once again, this time as the Royal homes.

Specification

The Triangle
You can’t help approach The Triangle without a sense of expectation and excitement. The new buildings retain the workshop’s original steel girders, gables and brick arches.

Inside, a spacious, airy hallway guarantees an impressive entrance to your home. Original, cast iron double height windows flood the Triangle’s mews houses with light. Each double height lounge rises directly up to the first floor level reached by an elegant spiral staircase.

The courtyard garden is The Triangle’s secret enclave – the perfect retreat to find peace and quiet every day. All homes enjoy the added convenience of allocated parking.

The Royal
Conservation and innovation work in harmony together. The cast iron windows are original – each one carefully removed and painstakingly restored by hand. On the roof, solar panels have joined the restored ribbon glazing.

Each luxury townhouse boasts original, triple-height cast iron windows overlooking the park. Inside, homes are spacious and light. A triple-height height aspect in the living area rises up to a feature Juliet balcony two floors above.

All the Royal homes include allocated parking. Fob controlled gates afford exclusive, resident-only access.


The Union
Meticulous design and bold architecture come together to create a range of properties that are sure to seduce whatever your age or taste.

Offering one, two and three bedroom homes, living at the Union is picturesque and serene. With direct access to the beautifully restored Grand Union Canal, gentle strolls along the towpath become a treasured daily ritual.

Boasting generous glass-fronted private balconies or terraces, most properties enjoy views directly out over the waterfront or the park beyond. Expect secure allocated parking too - just moments from your door
