A striking collection of new homes is set to arrive in the heart of Aylesbury, as Oakford Homes unveils The County Apartments. This inspired reimagining of the former Buckinghamshire County Council offices will create outstanding new apartments that offer the best of heritage charm and contemporary style.
Oakford Homes is breathing new life into this local landmark with an inspired collection of private one- and two-bedroom apartments. These will sit behind the preserved, classical neo-Georgian façade, which forms part of the town’s architectural character.
The County Apartments will bring together the building’s original 1920s Jazz Age style with modern layouts and a comprehensive specification.
Standout architectural features are being preserved, including a grand marble staircase forming an impressive centrepiece, while the birdcage lift is being refurbished and retained for everyday practicality with a twist and a distinctive nod to the past. Within the heritage apartments, expansive windows will flood the interiors with natural light to enhance the sense of calm and space.
To the rear of the heritage building, Oakford Homes are introducing a sensitively designed extension that incorporates additional new homes, bringing the total at The County Apartments to 46 apartments of different sizes, styles and aspects.
Each apartment will be finished to the customary high standards of Oakford Homes, ready for its new owners to move straight in and enjoy their new lifestyle. Interiors feature Smeg appliances, washer-dryers, flooring throughout, and fitted wardrobes to principal bedrooms.
Positioned just moments from The Exchange, residents can also benefit from culture and convenience thanks to the nearby mix of restaurants, leisure facilities and the popular Waterside Theatre.
The location is expected to appeal to commuters, with fast, direct rail services into London Marylebone via the Chiltern line, making it an attractive option for professionals seeking connectivity without compromising on lifestyle.
Gary Mellish, Director of Residential Development and Investment at Hamptons, said, “We are absolutely delighted to be partnering with Oakford Homes once again, this time on The County Apartments in Aylesbury. Our collaboration brings together shared values of quality, attention to detail, and customer satisfaction.
“Oakford Homes has an outstanding reputation for delivering thoughtfully designed properties of the highest quality and finish. We are proud to support them in bringing this exciting new scheme to market and look forward to helping prospective buyers discover the real sense of quality behind everything it has to offer.”
Sebastian Kemp, Director at Oakford Homes, added, “At The County Apartments, we’ve taken great care to celebrate the building’s unique heritage while introducing style-conscious homes for the way we live today. Retaining features like the marble staircase and birdcage lift was important to us as they give the scheme its unique identity. At the same time, the new addition allows us to bring homes to the heart of Aylesbury at this exciting time for the town.”
Prospective buyers are invited to get in touch with the team at Hamptons to register their interest and be among the first to step inside the show home, due to open at the end of May.
