Main line railway station in Colchester provides an extensive service to London Liverpool Street. The village has its own Farm Shop and restaurant, petrol station with village stores and post office, a good selection of pubs and restaurants some of which have undergone recent renovations (we highly recommend a visit!). Being situated in the heart of the Dedham Vale there are many delightful walks from the village into the surrounding countryside. Local facilities include primary and pre-school education, parish church and many groups and organisations. Catchment for East Bergholt High School, independent schools in Colchester and Ipswich.

A concrete footpath leads from the patio to the rear of the garden, another beautiful sun trap.

A corrugated shed can be found half way down the garden, which has the potential to become a great space for a summerhouse, outdoor office or garden room (stp).
