Blakelands is a modern residential development in the north of Milton Keynes, close to Giffard Park and Tongwell. The area features contemporary housing built from the 1990s onwards, popular with families who appreciate the newer homes and convenient access to the A422 and M1.

Blakelands' housing stock is predominantly modern — detached and semi-detached family homes built to contemporary standards. While these properties are generally well-designed, standard room layouts can feel limiting as families grow or working from home becomes a priority.

Rear extensions that create larger kitchen-diners are the most popular project type we see in Blakelands. The modern construction of these homes makes them relatively straightforward to extend, and the results can be dramatic — transforming a standard three or four bedroom house into a spacious family home.

Side extensions are also feasible on many of Blakelands' detached properties, particularly corner plots and those with wider frontages. These can add a dedicated home office, utility room, or additional reception room.
