Orbit launches affordable homes in the heart of rural Suffolk

Orbit is launching a brand-new collection of much-needed affordable homes in Beck Row, Suffolk with a launch event taking place on Saturday 27th June for viewings by appointment only. Elm Farm is a small development of two and three-bedroom houses available through the Shared Ownership scheme, where 25% of a property can be purchased for as little as £51,328 with just a 5% deposit. Not only this but purchasers are being offered £1,000 towards moving fees to help further with the cost of moving home*.

The development is in a beautiful semi-rural location, surrounded by stunning Suffolk countryside and a short distance from local village amenities.

Elm Farm is situated close to the historic towns of Bury St. Edmunds and Newmarket, which both offer plenty of shopping opportunities, as well as an excellent choice of cafés and bistros.

There is a choice of five schools locally and the new affordable homes are a close distance from a variety of culture and leisure activities such as St. Edmunds Abbey and Gardens, West Suffolk Golf Centre, Aspal Close Nature Reserve, Thetford Forest, the Theatre Royale and the award-winning entertainment complex ‘The APEX’.

All of Elm Farm residences have been designed with energy-efficiency in mind, helping to reduce customer energy bills and lessen the environmental impact. The properties have a great specification, are attractively designed, thoroughly modern and built to the highest standards. Certain properties also benefit from electric vehicle charging points.

Andy Georgiou, Sales and Marketing Director at Orbit Homes in the East, said:

“We are excited to offer a selection of much-needed affordable 2 & 3-bedroom homes at Elm Farm.  We already have secured one reservation prior to launching the development later this month, so if anyone is interested, it really would be worth booking an appointment for our open day on 27th June. 

“As a strategic Partner of Homes England, we are looking to invest £129 million in affordable homes before 2025 to help more people get on the property ladder.”

All Elm Farm properties are available through the Shared Ownership scheme, with prices starting from £51,328 for a 25% share. The new affordable homes all come with two allocated parking spaces, a private turfed garden and impressive specification.

Many of the properties also include views of open fields.

Because of its location, Elm Farm offers commuters a variety of options for transport connections to the rest of the UK, and much further afield. The development is close to the A11, allowing easy access to Cambridge and the M11 via the A14. Direct trains also run from Newmarket or Cambridge to London in under an hour.

Elm Farm is also 46 miles away from London Stansted Airport and 63 miles from Luton Airport, offering direct flights to a huge number of global destinations. Elm Farm is launching on Saturday 27th June, with telephone qualification taking place prior to this and viewings by appointment only on the day. Properties at Elm Farm are available to those with a connection to local Parishes – Beck Row, West Row, Eriswell, Mildenhall and Lakenheath. The connection will then go out to those with a connection to West Suffolk Council.
