Location

Low Street is at the heart of Hoxne village and famous for its picturesque Green surrounded by mostly Grade II Listed buildings of which number 77 is one. Mostly, as in this case, the cottages and houses have parking on the street although here the property is very fortunate in having good easy pedestrian access alongside for comings and goings to and from the rear garden and the 'everyday' back door. 77 Low Street is a landmark property. The village covers quite an area with roads leading up the valley sides to the Church one side and Cross Street/Heckfield Green the other. By following the road up to Cross Street one will find a Village Hall, Cafe, Primary School and Community Centre with Playing Field. The active and well knitted village offers all sorts of Clubs and Groups and goings on especially at the Village Hall and sporting activities at the Playing Field and Commnity Centre. The area is surrounded by a good network of footpaths across the fields including across the Waveney Valley. Historically, Hoxne is famous for King Edmund being captured by the Danes having taken refuge beneath the bridge at Goldbrook which is by the Village Hall. Equally, just outside the village, the Hoxne Hoard was found in the early 1990's being the largest find of Roman gold and treasures at the time and on display at the British Museum.
