Location

The pretty village of Kettleburgh has a popular public house, The Chequers, and an excellent community spirit, with many functions taking place in the village hall.  The historic market town of Framlingham, with its medieval castle, is just 2 miles from the property.  Here there is a good selection of shops, including a large Co -op, pubs, cafes, businesses, a medical centre, library, bank and the well respected Crown Hotel.  Framlingham is also home to the highly regarded Framlingham College, Thomas Mills High School and Sir Robert Hitchams CEVA Primary School.  Kettleburgh is also close to Brandeston which is the home of Brandeston Hall School, the prep school for Framlingham College.  The property is just 14.5 miles from the Heritage Coast.  The county town of Ipswich is approximately 14 miles away, with local and national stores, as well as a railway station with trains to London scheduled to take just over the hour.  There is also a train station at Campsea Ashe, 6 miles to the south-east, again with trains to London via Ipswich.

Directions

Heading into Kettleburgh from the direction of Framlingham, bear left round the corner, passing The Old School House on the right.  Go past the turning on the right onto Church Road and the property will be found a short way along on the right.  For those using the What3Words app: ///forge.surprised.really.
