LOCATION
The cottage is located in a secluded setting on the edge of the popular village of Hintlesham, which is some five miles west of the county town of Ipswich. The village is renowned for the Hintlesham Hall Hotel and golf course, together with a pub and church. More extensive facilities can be found in the nearby town of Hadleigh, although a wider variety of shopping, education and recreation services can be found in both Ipswich and Colchester.
Manningtree and Colchester stations lie respectively 10 and 15 miles away and both offer regular main line rail services to London’s Liverpool Street, taking 55 and 50 minutes respectively. The east coast estuaries are easily accessed and provide a wide range of water sport opportunities, and the A12, which lies some 13 miles to the south, links to Stansted Airport and London’s M25.
