Work begins on 125 new homes in Red Lodge

Construction work has begun at Hunter’s Chase in Red Lodge.

The new development from leading housebuilder Barratt Homes will provide 125 new three and four bedroom homes as well as contributing over £700,000 to the local area.

Site manager Nic Coupland and sales adviser Helen were on hand to officially cut the sod to make the start of construction at the Elms Road development.

As part of the planning agreement for the site, Barratt Homes will be giving a total of £719,047 to the local area. £554,900 of this will be contributed to local education services by helping build a new school in the Red Lodge area.

Annette Hurst, sales director at Barratt Homes Eastern Counties, said: “Contributing to the local areas surrounding our new developments is vital to us, we want to help grow communities and give areas like health and education the attention they deserve.

“Hunter’s Chase has already sparked a lot of interest among house hunters in the Suffolk area and we’re really looking forward to residents moving in and seeing what this fantastic development has to offer.”

£39,500 of the contribution will be donated to public health; this will go towards services at Reynard Surgery Red Lodge and White House Surgery.

Barratt Homes is also working towards promoting sustainable travel in the area by providing residents with a travel pack which includes details of cycle routes, maps of pedestrian routes, information on bus and rail services and even bus tickets.

Contributions will also go towards library services, pre-school provisions and towards a warden for local Red Lodge wildlife areas.

The spacious layout and thoughtful designs of the houses available at Hunter’s Chase will be perfect for growing families and those looking to settle down. The development is also nearby to Thetford Forest Park and has breathtaking open spaces right on its doorstep.

There are currently three and four bedroom homes for sale ranging in prices from £299,995 to £409,995.
