Denbury Homes Offers First Peek at Monarch Rise

HBF five-star rated regional builder, Denbury Homes, is excited to announce the launch of its sales suite at the Monarch Rise development in Layer de la Haye on Saturday 1st March 2025.

House hunters will have the opportunity to reserve off-plan at Monarch Rise and explore the available options at the 70-home development. The carefully selected mix of styles will include two-to-five-bedroom houses and bungalows, and 24 affordable and shared ownership homes.

Located in the historic village of Layer de la Haye, near Colchester and just a short distance from Abberton Reservoir, homebuyers will enjoy the tranquillity of village life combined with convenient access to amenities. The village boasts a primary school, doctor’s surgery, village shop, and two traditional pubs, while nearby Colchester offers a wider range of services and direct rail links to London Liverpool Street.

The marketing suite was previously used at Denbury Homes’ St Edmunds Gate development in Bury St Edmunds. Its reuse and relocation to Monarch Rise is part of Denbury Homes’ commitment to more sustainable working practices. This comfortable and welcoming garden room, originally commissioned from Thurston-based Smart Modular Buildings, provides homebuyers with an ideal setting to envision their future at Monarch Rise.

“We are thrilled to open the marketing suite and welcome prospective homeowners to Monarch Rise,” says Rianna Catling, Sales and Marketing Executive at Denbury Homes. “This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a beautiful new home in a sought-after location. Monarch Rise offers the perfect balance of rural charm and modern convenience, with easy access to Colchester and London.”

Monarch Rise embodies “The Denbury Difference,” the company’s commitment to exceeding expectations in every aspect of the homebuilding process, from planning and construction to sales and aftercare. The homes at Monarch Rise are no exception, featuring traditional designs, high-quality craftsmanship, and sustainable features including air-source heat pumps, enhanced insulation, and electric vehicle charging points.

The development’s thoughtfully planned landscaping includes the planting of over 100 trees and a bespoke wildflower mix, enhancing the natural beauty of the area and creating attractive community open spaces. Residents will also enjoy proximity to the stunning Roman River Valley Nature Reserve.

Rianna continues: “Denbury Homes is also committed to investing in the local community. Through Section 106 planning payments, the company will contribute over £510,000 to Layer de la Haye. These funds will support improvements to essential community facilities, including NHS provision, library services, and the New Cut Recreation Group.”
