Ravenswood housing estate, Ipswich, Suffolk, UK.
Ravenswood is a new district within Ipswich, Suffolk, UK. It is sited on the old Ipswich Airport to the south-east of the town. It is easily accessible from the junction 57 of the A14 (Nacton and South East Ipswich via the A1189). The area is expanding rapidly, with the main residential developer being Bellway Homes, with Persimmon building some of the later phases around Fen Bight Circle and Bonny Crescent. Bellway have worked closely with Ipswich Borough Council, who used to own the land, to create a modern development that mixes apartments, small houses and larger family homes within the same style. The road layout is a mix of traditional and modern, with twisting roads interspersed with small greens or children’s play areas. There is also a pair of tree-lined boulevards. To the north, close to the old terminal building, is a village cricket pitch. Surrounding this is a terrace of town houses built in a crescent, possibly inspired by those in Belgravia or Bath. In total, 1,250 houses and apartments are likely to be built with an affordable housing ratio of 30%.
