Local Area Information

East Suffolk and North Essex combine rural charm with urban pace to offer a perfect range of accommodation choices. There is access to the seaside from the holiday centres of Felixstowe, Harwich and Clacton to the quaint charm of Aldeburgh, Walberswick and many others. There are market towns aplenty, Halstead to Framlingham. Ipswich’s status has never been higher with the attraction of the University bringing in a new range of young and energetic faces all year round. Colchester retains its authority as second county town of Essex with its easy shopping and long history. Ipswich is the County Town of Suffolk, a beautiful shire county with all the range of features you could wish for. There are market towns, quaint villages, unspoilt seaside resorts and the new University is nearing completion in Ipswich.

Colchester, Ipswich and their surrounds allow quick access to London, whether for work or pleasure, and there will be plenty of action from the Olympics in this whole area. If you are looking to live or invest in the area, come and see. You will be impressed.

The bus networks are particularly good in the main towns, and Park and Ride has become an established feature all over. Access to Norwich, Cambridge and Peterborough is easy via bus, train, or car, as more and more improvements are made to the A14 and A140. And with many picturesque journeys to hand across East Suffolk and North Essex, you will sometimes just enjoy going for a drive (or a ride!).
