Landmark Development Achieves Early Sales Success with 25% of Homes Already Reserved
The County Apartments, an iconic collection of new homes in the heart of Aylesbury, has enjoyed a successful launch, with 25% of apartments already reserved within just four weeks of opening.
Situated on Walton Street, The County Apartments combines contemporary living with the rich heritage of one of Aylesbury's most recognisable landmarks. The development offers a collection of thoughtfully designed one and two-bedroom apartments across both newly built and carefully restored sections of the historic building.
Oakford Homes has once again partnered with acclaimed interior designer Susan White of Phoenix Interior Design to create a sophisticated living space that pays homage to the building's past. Drawing inspiration from the Roaring Twenties and Jazz Age, the design features elegant tones of green, gold and black, complemented by decorative mouldings that celebrate the character and history of the building.
Sebastian Kemp, Sales Director at Oakford Homes, adds: "The County Apartments is a special development, not only for Aylesbury itself but also for us as a company. We have taken great pride in ensuring every aspect has been finished to an exceptional standard. We were delighted to welcome Councillor Judie Ward from Buckinghamshire Council during our launch weekend, providing an opportunity to showcase the transformation and discuss the positive impact the development will have on the local and surrounding community.
"Buying a new home should be a straightforward and enjoyable experience. With brand-new appliances, the reassurance of a 10-year warranty and thoughtfully designed homes, our aim is to make the moving journey as stress-free as possible. We have already welcomed interest from a diverse range of buyers, including first-time purchasers, downsizers and those looking to make a lifestyle move. The County Apartments truly offers something for everyone, and we are incredibly proud to showcase this landmark development in central Aylesbury. There is nothing quite like it in the marketplace currently."
Originally designed by Charles H. Riley and completed in 1929, the former County Council Offices has long stood as a landmark building in Aylesbury. Following its vacancy in 2014, the restoration and redevelopment of the site marks an exciting new chapter in its history, preserving its architectural significance while creating distinctive new homes.
Each apartment has been finished to Oakford Homes’ high specification, combining heritage-inspired design with contemporary comfort. Bathrooms feature premium Roca
sanitaryware and Hansgrohe chrome fittings, including thermostatic showers as standard.
Residents will also benefit from a range of practical features designed to make moving easier and everyday living more convenient, including Smeg washer-dryers, private balconies or terraces to selected homes, and the option to rent on-site parking spaces annually, subject to availability.
Sustainability has also been carefully considered throughout the development, with energy-efficient KERS heating systems and electric radiators installed in every home. A combination of Minoli porcelain floor tiles and quality carpeting provides a stylish and comfortable finish throughout.
The County Apartments offer residents exceptional accessibility, with a wide selection of restaurants, cafés, bars and local amenities just moments from their doorstep. Aylesbury Railway Station is only a five-minute walk away, providing direct services to London Marylebone in just over an hour.
For those travelling by car, Aylesbury benefits from excellent transport links via the A41, with easy access to North West London, the M25, and the M1. Heathrow Airport is approximately 35 miles away, making both business and leisure travel straightforward and convenient.
Whether commuting to work, exploring England’s capital, or travelling further afield, The County Apartments is perfectly positioned to keep residents well connected.
