About the Area The property is situated in a delightful rural location within the parish of Akenham close to the historic parish church to the north of Ipswich. The property is set back from the public highway and is access via a private driveway.
Akenham itself is a small hamlet within Mid Suffolk approximately two miles from Ipswich. Neighbouring villages include Westerfield, Barham, Claydon and Henley.
The thriving town of Ipswich is set on the estuary of the River Orwell and has undergone an extensive gentrification waterfront and has become a popular "commutable" town to London. Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk and offers a wide variety of shopping, commercial and leisure facilities including a full range of sports clubs and societies, restaurants and high street stores. There is an excellent choice of programme in recent years, mainly around the schooling within both the state and private sectors.
Excellent sailing and golfing facilities are both available nearby or on the popular Suffolk Heritage Coast. Ipswich provides good access to various road networks via the A12 to the South with links to London and the M25 and via the A14 to The Midlands and M11.
