Elmswell is a traditional village with a modern future. Nestled in the heart of East Anglia, it captures everything that is good about village life - from thatched cottages to hearty country pubs, bustling local shops and a thriving village primary school - and is also perfectly situated to enjoy the best of nearby town and city life too.

Criss-crossed by footpaths and bordered by well tended gardens, the village of Elmswell has grown hugely over the years. It's sense of community is as strong as ever though, with a post office, a general store, a variety of local associations and activities and all the open space that dog walkers and energetic young children could ask for.

Just a mile from the A14, Elmswell is 9 miles from historic Bury St Edmunds, 18 miles from Ipswich and 37 miles from Cambridge. Closer still is the market town of Stowmarket, with its rail services into Norwich (30 minutes) and London Liverpool Street (90 minutes). A local train service also serves the village, along with various bus providers, bringing the rest of the county within easy reach.

At Blacksmith's Way, Hopkins Homes have created a wide selection of stunning new homes in keeping with their setting. Designed with considerable flair and boasting innovative use of light and space externally, emphasis has been placed on individuality and privacy whilst remaining sensitive to the existing village vernacular. Every home has been created using traditional, well proven building methods and with materials that have not only been shown to stand the test of time by many craftsmen before but will continue to look good for years to come. Hopkins' attention to detail in both design and choice of materials inside and out has won national recognition against strong competition from some of the biggest names in the UK building industry, resulting in many prestigious accolades, both locally and nationally.

A traditional approach is the foundation for creating the kind of comforts, convenience, practicality and low maintenance that meet the needs and aspirations of today's home owners.
