Homes in Haverhill
Haverhill is a market town that expanded massively with London overspill estates from the 1950s to the 1980s, growing from a small town to one of the largest in Suffolk. Its older centre has Victorian and some older buildings, but most homes date from the overspill era or later. Some older buildings survive around the High Street and the church.
Newer developments have continued to expand the town, making it popular with Cambridge commuters seeking value. The town sits on boulder clay, which can shrink and swell near trees. Many overspill homes have flat roofs or original windows in need of replacement. Kedington and Withersfield nearby offer village homes. Expect many overspill homes to have been extended or altered. Newer homes on the edges of the town bring snagging questions, and some estates have shared parking courts.
Areas we cover include Clements, Parkway, Westfield, Withersfield, Kedington.
