A good-life location to call home: discover our new sustainable homes in the rural village of Thurston, near Bury St Edmunds.
Perfect for growing families, first-time buyers and house movers, explore our stunning Hakewill Mews development offering energy-efficient one, two, three, four and five-bedroom homes.
Settled on the edge of the historic village of Thurston, the development is surrounded by the beautiful Suffolk countryside with easy access to an excellent variety of local amenities. Home to a traditional pub or two, plus a range of shops and facilities, the village also has an award-winning garden centre and tearoom to enjoy.
An ideal location for families, you have good education options both on your doorstep and in nearby Bury St Edmunds. A great day out for all ages, the historic and sought-after town is known as ‘Suffolk’s Foodie Capital’. So, moments away from your new Suffolk base, you can experience fine dining, independent and high-street shops, and a wealth of culture - including a majestic cathedral.
From local village shops and facilities to the wealth of what’s on offer in Bury St Edmunds - just 15 minutes away by car - Thurston has it all. For education opportunities, both Thurston Church of England Primary Academy and Thurston College, which includes sixth-form tuition, are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
A rural village location, the development is surrounded by stunning Suffolk countryside, plus Thetford Forest is also nearby for relaxing weekend walks. And for coastline adventures, the Suffolk and Essex Coast (and Heath National Landscape) is just over an hour by car.
With its own train station, Thurston offers convenient travel to the county’s main cities, towns and beyond - including Cambridge, Ipswich and Norwich. By car, a good A-road network gives you quick access to the M11, connecting you to London. And for international travel, Stansted Airport is an hour’s drive away.
