Beacon Green

Development Overview

Beacon Green is a new build residential development by Taylor Wimpey, located on Church Road, Bacton, Suffolk, IP14 4LG. The development, comprising a total of 81 homes across 10 distinct house designs, is nearing completion, offering a final opportunity to secure a new home in this Mid Suffolk village setting. The homes originally ranged from two to five bedrooms, providing a mix of semi-detached and detached properties.

Prices for the remaining homes are available at specific fixed points. For instance, a three-bedroom semi-detached home of 'The Amersham' design was recently available at £340,000. Larger family homes include the five-bedroom detached 'The Winterford' at £590,000 and 'The Henley' at £620,000, which offers four double bedrooms and a double garage. These final properties frequently include significant value in optional upgrades, such as the Winterford featuring over £18,000 of integrated appliances, flooring, and shower packages.

Property Details and Specification

The properties at Beacon Green are built to contemporary standards, focusing on energy efficiency and modern family living. Key specifications include renewable energy solutions, with all homes featuring Air Source Heat Pumps for sustainable heating. Further modern benefits include pre-installed EV charging points and high levels of insulation, ensuring lower running costs compared to older properties.

Internal layouts are designed for versatility. The larger five-bedroom properties, such as The Winterford and The Henley, incorporate a dedicated home office or study space, a separate family/playroom, and a utility room, catering to remote working and family requirements. Standard features across the remaining plots include high-specification kitchens with integrated appliances, en-suite shower rooms to the principal bedrooms (or two en-suites in the five-bedroom designs), and towel radiators. Taylor Wimpey, the developer, holds the Home Builders Federation (HBF) 5-star award for customer satisfaction, with 9 out of 10 customers stating they would recommend the builder.

Location and Local Connectivity

Beacon Green is situated in the peaceful village of Bacton, positioned to benefit from both a rural setting and excellent road links. The development is less than seven miles from the larger market town of Stowmarket, which is easily accessible via the nearby A140 road. Access to major routes is efficient, with the A14 trunk road providing links to Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.

Transport infrastructure includes Stowmarket Railway Station (a circa 11-minute drive), which provides Greater Anglia train services. Local public transport is provided by bus routes such as the TB03, VC1, and 320 services, with the Village Stores stop approximately a 12-minute walk from the centre of Bacton, offering a direct, albeit less frequent, connection to Stowmarket (journey time approximately 39 minutes).

Amenities and Community

Local amenities in Bacton include a convenience store, a local pub, and Bacton Primary School, to which Taylor Wimpey has contributed through community initiatives. The development itself incorporates significant green open space, a wildlife pond, and a dedicated natural play area. For wider retail, banking, and dining options, Stowmarket offers supermarkets including Tesco, and further shopping is available in Bury St Edmunds.
