RESIDENTIAL PARK HOMES
Priory Court is a private, gated over-50s community of bungalow-style park homes, part of the wider 115-acre Priory Park estate on the banks of the River Orwell near Ipswich.
You enter Priory Court through automated wrought iron gates. Inside, every home has its own drive and garden, set among wide grass verges and Victorian-style street lamps. Homes sit at different heights and angles, so it feels like a village rather than rows of identical plots.
