DUNSTABLE, BEDFORDSHIRE A MARKET TOWN WITH GREAT CONNECTIONS Around 35 miles from London, the market town of Dunstable has long been popular with families because of its good commuter links and beautiful countryside. Located on the northern edge of the town The Ridgeway is ideally placed to enjoy the best of all its amenities. A good choice of local schools, shops and a weekly market are all nearby, whilst bars and restaurants in the town centre provide plenty of options to enjoy evenings with friends. Green spaces and open countryside are in abundance too. Sewell Greenway, a popular country route for walkers and cyclists is yards from these new homes and a short drive puts you on the top of the lovely Dunstable Downs, where you can try your hand at kite flying high above the rolling Chilterns or visit the world-famous Whipsnade Zoo. Travel north and within 15 minutes you are in the quaint village of Woburn with its pretty high street, fine restaurants, traditional tea rooms and historic deer park. Whilst to the west the Vale of Aylesbury, an area of outstanding beauty, is waiting to be explored with canal-side walks, village inns and a lively town centre with museums, theatre and shops. HOMES FOR MODERN LIVING From toddlers to teenagers, having a space in which your family can grow together is so important. At The Ridgeway we have a great range of adaptable houses, from three to four bedrooms, so whatever your family size you can live in comfort. With every home cleverly designed to adjust to your lifestyle changes you can begin to set down your roots. Large open spaces give you the room to relax in style and plenty of storage means you have a place for everything. We understand the needs of larger families too, so we have ensured most of our houses here come with two or more bathrooms to stop those morning hold- ups, with many master bedrooms having a private en suite. For those just stepping onto the ladder or even sizing down, we have a small number of two bedroom apartments available. Designed with the same attention to detail, they offer open-plan contemporary living spaces and all have allocated private parking included.
