Boyton Place

Development Overview

Boyton Place is a large-scale, phased new build community by national developer Persimmon Homes, located on Haverhill Road in Little Wratting, Haverhill, Suffolk (CB9 7UD). The development is situated on the north-west edge of the historic market town, close to the borders of both Essex and Cambridgeshire. Upon completion, the masterplan is set to deliver a total of 1,034 new homes and significant local infrastructure. The community is being developed to offer a comprehensive mix of two, three, four, and five-bedroom homes, targeting first-time buyers, growing families, and established homeowners looking for a balance of town amenities and country proximity. The overall pricing for the development ranges from approximately £242,000 to £535,000.

Property Details

The Boyton Place development offers a diverse range of new build houses, all typically sold as Freehold. Available stock includes two-bedroom terraced houses, such as 'The Haldon,' priced from £275,000, up to five-bedroom detached family homes like 'The Brightstone,' listed for £535,000 on select plots. Mid-range options include the three-bedroom end-terrace 'The Saunton' and four-bedroom detached houses like 'The Marston.' The latest phases (5A and 5C) feature Persimmon’s contemporary 'eco-homes,' which include thermally-efficient walls and floors, enhanced loft insulation, and are all equipped with access to an electric vehicle (EV) charging point. Select homes also feature PV panels to maximise renewable energy use. Interior specifications across the house types commonly include a modern open-plan kitchen/dining area and, on larger models, a separate utility room.

Location Benefits

The development’s location offers convenient road and rail connectivity. The recently opened Haverhill Relief Road (A1307) improves access to the wider road network. For rail connections, the nearest mainline station is Whittlesford Parkway, which is approximately a 14-mile, or 20-minute, drive from the site. This location places the development approximately 14 miles southeast of Cambridge and 47 miles northeast of central London. Bus routes 13, 13C, and X13/13 Gold run nearby, providing a direct link to Cambridge, while services 14, 14A, and 15A connect to Bury St Edmunds.

Local amenities are comprehensive, with Haverhill town centre offering high-street retailers, independent shops, and dining options, including chains like Frankie & Benny's and Prezzo. Critical to the development is the approved local centre (Phase 3A), which is set to include a retail space suitable for a small supermarket, two additional retail units, and a paved plaza, creating a new focal point for the community. For families, a number of schools are within close proximity, including Samuel Ward Academy (0.7 miles) and New Cangle School (0.8 miles). The developer is also contributing to a primary school site and other community assets, including a multi-use games area (MUGA) and allotments.
