Our Past Developments

Work on the homes, which are built to a high standard with garages, extensive gardens, and high-specification internal finishes, began in July 2020 and was completed in May 2021. The build was completed quickly and efficiently whilst complying with strict Covid-19 restrictions.
The development was constructed by local, Great Blakenham-based contractors, Elliston Steady and Hawes. Each of the properties features en-suite bathrooms in the master bedrooms, as well as an additional family bathroom, and a modern, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space on the ground floor.
