Originally built in 1892, The Laurels has had several uses as a children's home and a doctors surgery before the council purchased it in after it fell into disrepair.
Working in partnership with local contractors FSG, MK Council has converted The Laurels into one large five-bedroom flat and a pair of two-bedroom flats to provide clean energy homes for local families.

The Laurels has been converted using the latest in environmentally friendly methods and the new flats are among the most energy efficient homes in the city. The properties have no gas supply and all the energy needed comes from a carbon-free heat-pump source.
Leader of the Council, Cllr Pete Marland said: "The Laurels is now a fantastic building which will be home to large and growing families. There's a major shortage of large family homes across the country and I'm glad that we’re making progress in MK to build homes that people really need.
"The Laurels has had its challenges, but it's now ready to welcome families who will be able to raise their children, make lasting memories, increase life chances and call it their home."
