LOCATION

The premises is situated in the southern part of Market Hill adjacent to the library which is housed in the former Corn Exchange and a few yards from the prime shopping area which is on the opposite side of Market Hill where occupiers include the likes of Greggs, Timpson, Savers, Costa, Boots and a recently rebranded Morrisons Daily. Gainsborough's House which is an important tourist attraction is also in close proximity and has recently reopened following a multi-million-pound project of refurbishment and extension. The main shopper's car parks are all within a few minutes' walk as are the bus and railways stations.

Sudbury itself is a busy and expanding market town with a population of around 25,000 (including Great Cornard) and which serves a much wider catchment area. The town has seen considerable growth in recent years, and this is continuing particularly with the new Chilton Woods development which when completed will provide another 1,000 new homes.

Sudbury is situated some fourteen miles south of Bury St Edmunds, fifteen miles northwest of Colchester and about twenty-three miles from the county town of Ipswich.

Stansted Airport and the M11 are about forty minutes by road.
