The first residents have been handed the keys to their new homes at Ashberry Homes’ Saxon Heath development in Bury St Edmunds.
Ashberry Homes is providing a total of 132 homes at the development, off Marham Parkway, comprising 100 homes for private sale and 32 homes allocated as affordable housing for local people. With work on site progressing well, multiple homes have now been completed and occupied, with more set to move in later this month.
The first homes were released for sale online in August last year, and more than a quarter of the private homes being built have already been sold off plan. Two showhomes – a three-bedroom Orchid house type and a four-bedroom Lisianthus – were unveiled when the site opened to the public in November.
Saxon Heath forms part of a wider new neighbourhood at Marham Park, with approximately 1,000 new homes being delivered by a consortium of housebuilders.
Emma Hawkins, Sales Manager for Ashberry Homes Essex, said: “We are delighted to be able to welcome our first residents into their new homes at Saxon Heath. This marks the beginning of a new community which will extend the existing new neighbourhood at Marham Park.
“Saxon Heath enjoys a desirable location within Marham Park, situated directly next to the golf course which neighbours the development, and provides a peaceful backdrop to the new homes.
“The attractive Suffolk countryside is on the doorstep, while Bury St Edmunds town centre, with its historic cathedral and award-winning Abbey Gardens, is just over two miles from home. The development is also well situated for commuters with the A14 close by for road links to Cambridge and Ipswich.
“We’ve already sold 34 homes here with levels of interest still running high. With our first residents settled in, we are looking forward to welcoming more residents into their new homes as construction progresses further.”
There’s currently a range of two, three and four-bedroom houses available to reserve at Saxon Heath, with prices starting from £274,995.
