| Both a thriving suburb of
Ipswich, and a Suffolk town with its own council (www.kesgrave.org.uk),
the Rushmere and Kesgrave areas offer a wide range of
housing from the first time buyer flats and large family
homes of Grange Farm to the bungalows of Old Kesgrave.
Located to the east of Ipswich, Rushmere, Kesgrave and its
surrounding areas are growing fast, the population exploding from
5,000 in 1988 to a targeted 13,000+ when growth is complete at the
Grange and Bixley Farm developments.
The area boasts a very high percentage - over 90% - of private
ownership, putting Hamilton Smith Estate Agents in an enviable
position of being able to offer its clients a wide and constantly
changing choice of new homes.
While the area enjoys easy access into Ipswich, with a main bus
route into the town, it remains well served by local shops and
other facilities. There are plenty of green spaces, with the
Millennium sports Ground, Rugby Club ground and Rushmere Golf Club
( www.golftoday.co.uk/clubhouse/coursedir/suffolk/rushmere.html
) which acts as a 'green belt' between Rushmere and the
outskirts of Ipswich.
The area is well served by the local schools including Kesgrave,
Coppleston and Northgate High Schools and a new primary school (Cedarwood)
at Grange Farm.
