Persimmon Homes - Boyton Place, CB9

Development info

• Site plan

Boyton Place Phases 2B & 6 are currently available with a collection of new homes on the outskirts of the historic market town of Haverhill, offering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes - suiting first-time buyers and growing families alike.

Haverhill sits on the border with Essex and is also close to the border with Cambridgeshire. It lies about 14 miles southeast of Cambridge and 47 miles northeast of central London and is in a great central location for Bury St Edmunds, Braintree, and Bishop's Stortford too. There's still a weekly market in the High Street and a Friday market in the Market Square, along with all the usual facilities that you'd expect to see in a growing town. The industrial areas are to the south of the town, playing an important part in Haverhill's economy and giving this welcoming town a good balance. If you are looking for modern family living in a smaller community with city life within easy reach, Boyton Place could be the perfect place for you to call home.
