Hanchett Village, Haverhill

Two specially-adapted new homes, designed and built to address the day-to-day needs of families living with their disabled children, have recently been handed over at a housing development at Hanchett End, part of the larger Hanchett Village estate, Haverhill.

Both families worked closely with architects, developers, St Edmundsbury Borough Council, Suffolk County Council, Suffolk Housing Society and Iceni Homes from the design stage to make sure the shape of the homem and the internal lay-outs can best support their particular needs.

The site includes 42 affordable homes for rent and is a mix of one and two-bedroom flats, two and three-bedroom houses and the two specially adapted homes. They will be managed by Suffolk Housing Society.

Hales Barn (Phase 2)

The official opening of Hales Barn (Phase 2) took place on 10 June 2008 following the completion of eight homes for rent and nine for shared ownership.

St Edmundsbury Borough Council are very pleased to have contributed £150,000 to the project and worked in partnership with Jephson Housing to provide these much needed homes.
