It is also served by well regarded schools, Sir Robert Hitcham CEVAP Primary School and Debenham High School. The historic market town of Framlingham, with its medieval castle, lies approximately 7½ miles to the east, and offers further excellent schooling in both the state and private sectors. The County town of Ipswich (14 miles) and Stowmarket (10 miles) both offer more extensive facilities including mainline railway stations with regular services to London’s Liverpool Street Station scheduled to take approximately 65 minutes and 85 minutes respectively. The Suffolk heritage Coast, with towns such as Aldeburgh, is approximately 24 miles. The A14 trunk road provides access in a westerly direction towards Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands. Norwich is approximately 25 miles to the north as the crow flies.

Proceeding into the village from the south along Ipswich Road, turn left onto Cherry Tree Lane immediately after the veterinary practice. Continue along Cherry Tree Lane, bearing slightly right just after Deben Rise, and the property will be found a short way along, down an unmade track on the left hand side.
