Kesgrave ranked in report as one of the top places to live

A recent report showed that Kesgrave has been ranked among the top twenty places to live across the whole of England and Wales.

Out of 2,400 areas, the town was placed 19th.  Indicators such as educational attainment, crime figures and property prices were used in a Family Friendly Hotspots report which gave a rating of 70 for Kesgrave’s average key stage 4 score, which was almost double the UK average of 43.

A further attraction for house buyers considering moving to the area was that the average cost of a two bedroom house was £25,000 below the average national price for a property of that type.  In Kesgrave, that figure came out at £150,336.

Jonathan Waters, Managing Director of Jonathan Waters Estate Agents Ltd., which has two offices covering the Kesgrave area, backed up the report’s findings.

“Both my daughters went to Kesgrave High School and I can certainly vouch for what a nice school it is.  I always found teachers and staff to be very approachable, friendly and very good at their jobs.”

“We have always had a high demand for properties in the Kesgrave area and it’s an area that I would live in personally without any thoughts whatsoever.”

“One of the reasons we opened our IP5 office two years ago was to further benefit the needs of people buying or selling in the Kesgrave and Grange Farm areas.”


“If anybody is wanting to buy or sell a property in that area, please contact our IP5 office on 01473 620222 where my colleague, Charmaine Sayer will be more than happy to help you.”
