The Stone, Baylham, Ipswich, Suffolk, IP6

Stone Farm Cottage occupies an idyllic elevated position with views over the valley, on the outskirts of the hamlet village of Baylham. The sought after village of Baylham is located approximately mid way between Needham Market and Claydon, both of theses locations offer a good range of shopping and recreational facilities with Needham Market having railway station with links to Ipswich. The Suffolk county town of Ipswich offers a wide range of facilities including mainline railway link to London's Liverpool Street. The A14 trunk road offers access in an easterly direction to the A12 and Felixstowe and in a westerly direction to Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and on to the Midlands.

Stone Farm Cottage has been in the same ownership for many years, substantially extended in the past to provide impressive, well balanced ground and first floor accommodation.
