Location
Covehithe House sits in a particularly pleasant, stand alone position along a small lane.  Whilst having the feeling of a rural situation, it is just a short walk from the very centre of Wrentham, with its pubs and Black Dog deli.  There is also a village hall and sporting facilities.  The property is just off the A12 with excellent links to Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth to the North and Ipswich and London to the South.  The Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, and seaside resort of Southwold is just a few minutes drive from the village with its thriving high street, numerous pubs and restaurants and its famous sandy beach and  traditional seaside pier. The town of Beccles is within nine miles. The property is just 1.5 miles from the sea at Covehithe where the ruins of the once glorious medieval St Andrews Church can be seen.  The surrounding countryside of the Suffolk Heritage Coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes such attractions as the nearby Dunwich Forest, Minsmere Birds Reserve, as well as Henham Park and the Benacre and Covehithe Broads.
