Location
The Cottage forms part of the small hamlet of Fowls Watering, a short distance to the south-east of Wickham Market.  Fowls Watering occupies a lovely rural location, albeit bisected by the A12, with most properties benefitting from views over the surrounding agricultural and pasture land and direct access to beautiful country walks.  The popular village of Wickham Market, approximately half a mile to the west, is well served with a good range of businesses, shops, including a Co-op supermarket, popular butchers, restaurants and a tea room, many of which are grouped around the Market Square.  There is also a health centre, pharmacy, library and primary school.

There is a railway station at Campsea Ashe (about one and a half mile away) with connections to the main inter-city services from Ipswich to London’s Liverpool Street station.  There are also some through trains to London each day.  As well as Wickham Market’s primary school, there are many other excellent schools within easy reach in both the state and private sectors.  The property is understood to be in the catchment area of Thomas Mills High School in the historic market town of Framlingham which lies approximately 6 miles to the north.  The attractive market town of Woodbridge is approximately 5 miles to the south-west.  The County town of Ipswich lies approximately 13½ miles to the south.  The popular Heritage Coast resorts of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness are within easy reach as is Snape, home to the famous Malting Concert Hall.
