Highland Ltd’s new development in Debenham

As you drive through the country roads into the picturesque village of Debenham, you come across the latest development from the luxury local property developer Highland Ltd.

The site at The Green is nearing completion and the first owners have moved in and they can’t fault their new home. Mr and Mrs Dibbs moved from the New Forest to their bespoke property right in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. Chatting over coffee in the stylish kitchen Mr and Mrs Dibbs are both thrilled with their new surroundings and the care and attention they have received from David Hughes, owner of Highland Ltd.

Mr Dibbs said ‘We can’t speak highly enough of David, he has taken the stress out of moving, everything was made as easy as possible.

‘Mrs Dibbs said they were first attracted to the development when they were in Suffolk visiting family. ‘We drove past the site and were intrigued by what was being built there so we requested a brochure. The brochure really wowed us and from there we were hooked!’

 

 

 

By engaging with purchasers at the very beginning, these homes can be customised to the purchasers exacting specifications, but with the Highland standard apparent throughout.

The house has been finished to The Dibbs specification; a large kitchen island was added to the plans and a specific brand of oven was installed which had been requested.

Mrs Dibbs’ said ‘When we moved in Highland had thought of everything to make the move as smooth as possible, little things like letting us put our empty boxes and packing materials in the site skip and providing a bag of salt as it was icy when we moved in all made it that much easier. David’s wife has also been on hand to help with some of the interior aspects, helping with samples, suggesting colours and fabrics. Having the site staff around has also been great to help with any small snagging details.

‘We’ve named our house Greenaway – the site is a former bowling green so we wanted to keep Green in the name.’

The Dibbs are settling in to Suffolk life, they are looking forward to getting out on their bikes into the Suffolk countryside, they are also taking full advantage of the shops and facilities in Bury St Edmunds, Norwich and Ipswich – especially the new John Lewis at Futura Park, Ipswich. Closer to home they are enjoying the wealth of independent stores on their doorstep and they are looking forward to new next stage of the development which

 

 

includes an on-site beauty salon, coffee shop and soon-to-be fine dining experience – the likes of which Debenham will not have seen before!

‘The Green’ at Debenham is one of kind – just like all of Highland’s projects, they appreciate that buying a new property is a life changing decision and that all purchasers have very different needs and tastes.

David Hughes, MD of Highland Ltd, said: Any developer can build a house, but we are dedicated to creating homes for our customers in a setting that allows them to live their dream lifestyle, in their dream property. Having the personal contact with the Dibbs’ means we have been able to make their purchase as smooth as possible.’

With the second owners just about to move in there are only two properties left at The Green. If you are interested in finding out more about The Green or to receive a brochure please contact Highland Ltd on 07885 981122.
