What they're saying:

Ella Rutherford of Ipswich Town Ladies FC said: "It's been great to see some of the Henley Gate development, including this brilliant Ipswich FC bedroom! We've also met some great people from the local community and it's been nice to spend some time with some of the young Ipswich fans who came down to the launch. Helping inspire the next generation is really important and it's part of what we do."

Karen Coulson, Sales and Marketing Director at Crest Nicholson Eastern, commented: "We were so pleased to commemorate the promotion of Ipswich F.C. with a themed room at our flagship Ipswich development, Henley Gate. As well as having some of our amazing Ipswich Town F.C. players down to visit the homes, and check out the football inspired bedroom, we met lots of residents from the community, or who were considering a move to the area."

Development details:

  • Henley Gate includes 80 acres of woodlands and open spaces.

  • It is located three miles from Ipswich Station.

  • The first phase of the development is nearing completion, with a second phase planned to launch later this year.
