For a relatively small family run business, Chater Homes are responsible for some substantial developments across East Anglia.
Of particular note are ones in Brentwood, Chelmsford and Ipswich. They have become recognised for building communities by incorporating local factors such as woodland, public open space and local amenities. Examples include the restoration of the village pond at Writtle and the 12 acres of public open space and woodland at Bixley Farm, Ipswich.
Chater Homes has won house building industry awards for style and quality and their show homes have featured in national magazines.
But Chater Home owners themselves illustrate the most impressive achievement of all. They are often those “in the know” such as surveyors, estate agents, bricklayers, carpenters and planners. And best of all, a Chater Home owner will often buy another. What better advertisement.
