We visited Aspen Grange near Stowmarket today early afternoon.
We had no appointment, but we were greeted by Lucy Hanley who immediately welcomed us and answered our questions about the site. We did our best to explain our situation and requirements as regards house type, budget, time scale and what seemed like a million other things.
All answered impeccably, clearly and concisely.
We could not have asked for a better service, and left fully aware of all options.
We will be back!

Lovely first home in Aspen Grange

We found our first home in Aspen Grange and after everything went quick and smooth. Joanne and Lucy our sales ladies made sure everything is on top and always kept in touch with us. Lovely location and the house is exactly what we were looking for as our first home! We are very happy we found them!

Lewin Park

Lewin Park

As first time buyers Graham and Nikki have made the process so far stress free. We have absolutely fallen in love with the property and can’t wait to make it our home! Graham and Nikki have always been present to answer any questions from ourselves as-well as both our families that have come along for support. The communication has been fantastic. We feel very looked after!

Thank you both for making this experience so enjoyable and easy- Hannah and Jamie

Daisy’s brilliant Service

I had a very positive experience with Daisy at Henley. From the first interaction, she was professional, approachable, and highly knowledgeable about the development. She took the time to clearly explain all aspects and was always patient when answering questions. Daisy paid great attention to detail. She made me feel extremely comfortable and no pressure in making decisions.
Daisy’s customer service and commitment made my experience stress free. I would highly recommend Daisy to anyone who’s looking to buy a property within this development.
Thankyou
