According to local estate agent, Rents, house prices in the Ipswich area have seen rises of over 154% since the millennium[1].  Set just seven miles to the North of Ipswich lies the charming village of Great Blakenham, where Bellway Homes launched a fabulous new development in July 2017.   

The collection of modern two, three and four bedroom homes at Beaumont Green will make wonderful homes for all buyer types; first time buyers, second steppers, families and downsizers.  The homes are within striking distance of several large commuter destinations – Colchester, Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge.

Gemma Bannister, Divisional Sales Manager at Bellway Homes, comments: “This development is a significant project for us.  It brings homes to an area that has seen huge price rises over the past 17 years, partially down to a shortage of property in the area.  The new houses will be offered with Help to Buy, and we will be able to help buyers on and up the property ladder.”

This collection of homes will appeal to families and commuters who are looking for a semi-rural lifestyle, coupled with shopping, leisure and public transport facilities offered by a large town. All properties at Beaumont Green will benefit from a very high-quality specification and include modern design touches, such as open-plan living areas, integrated appliances and en suite shower rooms. Externally, all have gardens and come with parking, or garages.

There are a number of retail parks and supermarkets on the outskirts of Ipswich – including a superstore just five minutes' drive from the development. In Ipswich town, the Sailmakers and Buttermarket malls are home to shops, cafés and restaurants.

The redeveloped waterfront area in Ipswich is the fashionable place to be, with bars and restaurants attracting locals and visitors.  The Saints, one of the main thoroughfares lining the town to the historic waterfront, is home to an eclectic mix of independent shops and eateries, as well as it's vintage and craft market.

Several well-regarded schools can be found in the local area, including Claydon Primary School. For older students, Claydon High School is less than 20 minutes' walk away and Northgate High School can be reached in just over 10 minutes by car. Colchester Royal Grammar School and Colchester County High School for Girls are regularly voted two of the best schools in the country by 'A' level results and both are around accessible from Beaumont Green.
