Location
St Nicholas House is situated within a peaceful spot in the small village of Little Saxham, which is approximately three miles west of the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds. Little Saxham has excellent access to the A14 in both directions and therefore to Ipswich (30 miles away), Cambridge (27 miles away) or London (approximately two hours by train). The small village is an ancient settlement reputedly referenced as “Sexham” within the Doomsday Book (an historic survey commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086).
Little Saxham is within the catchment of good local schools and also in proximity of a range of independent, private schools and is within a stones throw of the magnificent Ickworth Park. Only 3.5 miles from St Nicholas House is Bury St Edmunds. It has so much to offer including wonderful shops with plenty of independent and artisan retailers as well as the favorite high street stores within the old town and the newer shopping area that constitutes the Arc. Market days are on a Wednesday and Saturday and offer a truly authentic experience. There’s also a thriving cafe culture and plenty of restaurants; the stunning St Edmundsbury Cathedral; the truly exceptional Abbey Gardens with ruins of the former abbey dating back to the 12th century. The town also has its own regency theatre.
Directions
From the direction of Bury St Edmunds, head towards Little Saxham on the Westley Road. Upon reaching the pretty village church, turn left, and the drive leading to the house will be found a short distance further on the right, just after The Old Rectory.
Services
Mains electricity and water are connected. Private drainage and oil fired radiator and under floor heating (ground floor). Council tax band G.
