NEW HOMES
LUXURY LIVING AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE TAG Going to Suffolk is always such a pleasure – it’s a beautiful part of the country and so when I was invited by Weston Homes to visit the show apartment at its new development,Tayfen Court, in Bury St Edmunds, I was more than delighted to go along to visit the show apartment at its new development,Tayfen , in Bury St Edmunds, I was more than delighted to go along
when entertaining. Clever strips of wooden panelling accent the walls and the floor-to- ceiling windows, which flood the room with natural light – so important! There are beautiful mature trees tucked behind the apartment building on Tayfen Road and the bedroom reflects this natural, leafy environment. The orange featured in the main bedroom certainly has the wow factor and there is a stylish mirrored built-in wardrobe. Both bedrooms have a hotel-style en suite bathroom – sheer luxury – with a walk-in shower or bath, very useful heated towel rail, smart mirror with a digital clock and de-mist feature and integrated vanity storage. The contemporary kitchens feature quartz stone worktops and splashbacks, a wide range of integrated appliances, and I was so excited as there is also an instant boiling and cold filtered tap – this is indulgence at its best! Every home has superfast full-fibre broadband which is so important if you work from home and I loved the private outdoor terrace where you can enjoy a morning coffee or a relaxing drink after a busy day. If you enjoy the outdoors, Tayfen Meadows, a nature reserve, is nearby and
transport is a breeze! Bury St Edmunds station is a five-minute walk from the development with direct connections to Cambridge and London Liverpool Street. The A14 is also just a few minutes away providing access to other parts of Suffolk and beyond, and Stansted airport can be reached by car in less than an hour. This development is so peaceful and the homes are relaxing, spacious and really affordable. I truly think that any first time buyer could happily call this beautiful location home.

When I arrived it was one of those lovely winter days when the sky is blue and it is crisp and clear and I was really impressed by the lovely landscaped communal garden, tree-lined walkways and cycle routes. The chic two bedroom show apartment highlights flexible living space, which is so important in homes today.Weston Homes collaborated with leading design house Novak & Parkes, which has really created a beautiful inviting home, embracing a warm colour palette of burnt orange and moss green with brass highlights. I loved the clever orange feature wall in the open- plan kitchen/dining area which extends on to the ceiling, bringing an exciting pop of colour to this stylish space. There is plenty of room for a dining table and the living area is styled with a sofa, feature armchair and footstool, providing flexible seating
