THE LOCATION

Newton Green is one of the most highly favoured villages in the countryside of the Suffolk/Essex borders surrounding the market town of Sudbury. At its centre are the famous greens, on which a public golf course was founded over 100 years ago. Now highly regarded and extended to 18 holes, the local residents still enjoy certain free playing rights over the first 9 holes. The green also provides very pleasant walks. Opposite the green itself are a number of very fine and substantial houses including The Deans, one of the most notable properties in the area. The site is almost at the centre of this run opposite the green – an outstanding location.

The A134 provides good road connections straight through to Colchester with links to the A12 and the mainline station with fast services through to London’s Liverpool Street, making the village an ideal base for a regular City commute. There are many other attractive villages all around including Medieval Lavenham and historic Long Melford. The market town of Sudbury provides a very good range of shops, schooling and recreational facilities, including a small quayside theatre and modern swimming pool and leisure complex. There are many clubs and associations including rugby, football, cricket, tennis, bowls and rowing, and good schools.

THE PROPERTIES

The houses are being built by Waterson Homes, who have specialised for many years in the construction of large individual houses in traditional style, either for specific clients or as a development. The design of the houses on this site has been very carefully considered, with the use of traditional materials, architectural features and details. The overall effect will be of a large restored Suffolk farmhouse, together with converted stable block and hay barn behind. All the properties will have good parking, cartlodges, garages and generous gardens.

There is always the opportunity to choose kitchen and bathroom fittings but as reservations are being taken prior to construction, there is the opportunity for purchasers to have a much more “bespoke” approach.

Floor plans are included in these particulars and are as approved by the Planning Authority but may be subject to some alteration prior to completion.
