LOCATION

Four Oaks is located at the end of a long track and positioned midway between Kelsale and East Green. The historic village of Kelsale, with its varied mix of period properties, has an active local community and stands just 8 miles from the beautiful Suffolk Heritage Coast. Nearby Saxmundham (1.5 miles) provides a full range of local shopping and commercial facilities, together with both doctors and vet practices. The town has a Waitrose store, and its rail station provides regular, soon to be direct, service to London’s Liverpool Street Station (via Ipswich). The A12, which bypasses both Saxmundham and Kelsale, provides direct links south to Woodbridge, Ipswich and the country’s main road network beyond.
