Snape

A well presented, spacious four bedroom detached property with garage. On a quiet terrace in the heart of Snape enjoying the views towards the river and Snape Maltings. EPC D.

Location - High Ridge is located on The Terrace which is a private unadopted lane off the main road in the heart of Snape, one of East Suffolk's most desirable villages. Snape is best known for its association with the Aldeburgh Festival and its fine Maltings Concert Hall and is situated about 5 miles inland from Aldeburgh itself and the Heritage coastline. It is on the upper reaches of the River Alde, some 10 miles to the north-east of the market town of Woodbridge and about 18 miles from the County town of Ipswich.

The nearest small town is Saxmundham (about 5 miles to the north) which, together with Woodbridge, is on the main East Coast railway line providing some direct trains to London and regular connecting services to fast Inter-City trains from Ipswich to London, which take about an hour.  The village has two public houses, both of which are noted for their excellent food, a primary school and garage.

Snape is ideally situated for easy access to the main attractions of the Heritage Coast including the Minsmere Bird Sanctuary at Dunwich (about 9 miles), the outstanding natural beauty of Iken Cliffs (about 2 miles), sailing and golf at Aldeburgh and Thorpeness and outstanding walks and riding in the Rendlesham and Tunstall Forests.
