As Kirstie and Phil will rightly tell you, it’s location, location, location when it comes to buying a house.
Build quality and specifications are important, of course, but you’ve got to love where you live.
That’s why at Boningale Homes we are proud of creating places where people aspire to live.
With our headquarters in Albrighton and strong links to the area, we know all about the wonderful Shropshire village – that’s why we decided to build our Millfields development there.
Here are the top five reasons to make Albrighton your next home.
1. Amenities on your doorstep
Albrighton’s busy village centre is less than a mile from Millfields and offers a wide array of privately-owned businesses from beauticians to butchers, florists to fashion.
Albrighton also has a thriving pub and restaurant scene, with multiple places to eat and drink, including the popular Dartmouth Arms and Rosello Restaurant.
The Co-operative and SPAR convenience stores cater for day-to-day needs.
2. Sport and leisure
There are many scenic walking routes to explore, whether you want to go for a gentle stroll with the dog or something more strenuous.
Albrighton & District Footpath Group has put together a series of walking maps which take the rambler through prime Shropshire farmland.
Donington and Albrighton Local Nature Reserve is also nearby, while the village also boasts a bowls club, football club, cricket club and tennis club.
3. A real community feel
Albrighton is a large village with a strong community feel.
There are numerous groups to get involved in if that’s your thing, including a flower club, an active drama group, a film club and various children’s clubs.
4. Close to larger towns and cities
Albrighton could hardly be better placed for visits to larger towns and cities, whether that’s for work or for pleasure.
The buzz of Birmingham is less than 30 miles away, while Wolverhampton is under 10 miles door-to-door. Both cities offer excellent shopping with the biggest names in UK retail, as well as countless eating and drinking options.
The charming town of Shrewsbury can also be reached within half an hour with its famous Tudor buildings and river walks.
5. Transport links
Our Millfields development is close to Albrighton bypass, which will take you straight onto the M54, from which you can easily head either north or south.
Albrighton Train Station is roughly 15 minutes away by foot, offering convenient, fast travel to Birmingham, London and beyond. Birmingham can be reached in just 45 minutes, while the fastest trains will have you at Euston inside two-and-a-half hours.
For overseas trips, Birmingham Airport is a little over an hour away.
