Sudbury Court, Whittlesey

Introduction

Features of Sudbury Court include communal landscaped areas, a greenhouse and rolling grassed areas.

Anthony Walker (architect) has created an inward looking village and John Dejardin (landscape architect) has extended and enhanced the variety and scale of the architecture with planting throughout. Paths wind through a series of varied spaces formed by trees, shrubs, ground cover plants and rolling grassed areas. The rear areas have a wilder appearance and are planted with faster growing species to screen unsightly surrounding houses. In addition to the communal landscaped areas are three allotments and a greenhouse for keen gardeners.
History

Situated to the north of the town on the line of the old Roman ‘Fen Causeway’ this recent sheltered housing accommodation was built on the site of a market garden and today is surrounded by drab post-war semi-detached houses.
