From Woodbridge there are trains to Ipswich connecting with direct rail services to London's Liverpool Street station, taking just over the hour. 

Description Believed to date from the late 18th Century, London House is a spacious five double bedroom family home with useful annexe and good size rear garden, which can be found in the centre of the popular village of Alderton and close to the Heritage Coast.

Being a principal village house, and at one point accommodating the village store/post office, London House has well laid out and generous accommodation including a spacious entrance hall, a 23' sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room/cloakroom and boot room on the ground floor. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Attached at the rear is the annexe with kitchen/bedroom, sitting room and shower room, which provides useful ancillary accommodation to the main house, potential accommodation for a dependent relative or for holiday lets/B&B purposes, as the vendors have done so recently.

Outside there is a shingle driveway for the parking of three to four vehicles, and good size gardens at the rear.
