Bank House occupies a superb position overlooking the Market Square in the heart of this thriving community, close to the River Deben and within easy reach of the Suffolk Heritage Coast (Orford 10 miles). Wickham Market lies about 12 miles north-east of the County Town of Ipswich and just off the A12 providing dual carriageway driving to Woodbridge (4 miles), Ipswich, London and the South. There is also a railway station at nearby Campsea Ashe with rail services to London each day and many connecting trains to services from Ipswich to London which take just over the hour.  There are a number of shops and offices grouped around the Market Square which offers convenient parking and as well as shops there is a choice of places to eat, along with a doctors surgery, pharmacy and library within walking distance.  The village benefits from a Co-Op supermarket and a recently re-opened pub, The George.  The local tourist attractions such as Easton Farm Park, Snape Maltings, Framlingham Castle and Sutton Hoo are all within 10 mile radius.
