About the location

The house is on the edge of a small, pretty Suffolk village, near the lovely medieval village of Lavenham, Long Melford, Bury St Edmunds and the Dedham Vale which is Constable country. The village has a green, a pub with a good restaurant and useful shop run by the local community. Its a beautiful, unspoilt part of England, famed from its softly rolling hills and clear light. Its about an hour's drive to the coast, and under an hour and a half on the train to London from Sudbury, fifty minutes from Colchester. Cambridge and Colchester are about 40 minutes by car. Its a lovely area for walking, cycling shopping for antiques, restaurants, pubs and exploring by car.
