About the area Nedging and Naughton are small diffuse villages in a very rural setting. The villages support a pub and a garage that sells fuel and carries out repairs. There is a small industrial estate with businesses carrying out activities such as plant hire, warehousing and light industrial manufacturing. There are six working farms. Many of the villagers commute out of the village to work, some are self-employed or work at home. A sizable proportion of the population is made up of retired people.
There are two churches within the villages and a village hall. Next to the village hall is a playing field and a children's play area. The village hall and playing field are run by a charity, The Nedging with Naughton Village Hall & Community Council, whose trustees are drawn from the other village institutions including the Parish Council.
There are many other groups that meet during the year for a variety of purposes, including the Spring Fair, The Women's Institute, the Produce Show, the Harvest Festival Supper, Charity Coffee Mornings, Indoor Curling, Quiz nights, Musical events, Wine tasting etc.

Hadleigh -
The town's backbone is the High Street, with just the right eclectic mix of shops, services, restaurants, cafés and pubs – known for their individuality, quality and care, with both a contemporary and traditional feel. Hadleigh nestles in breath-taking countryside with spectacular scenes that inspired 18th-century painters, Constable and Gainsborough. Visitors admire the many historic buildings but the stories of who lived and worked in them complete the picture. Close to the town, with its wide range of independent businesses, are many country walks, such as the Riverside and Railway walk.
Conservation -
Naughton's small size means that with single plot depth development, most of the properties there have farmland to the rear. As well as the four roads that head out into the countryside there are also many footpath links from the centre. With its mix of cottages and former farmhouses, overall the settlement has a quality of rural repose centred on its village green. None of the roads are at all major and traffic is consequently light and infrequent.
Trees figure very much in the landscape within Naughton, maintaining a rural quality to the settlement. Indeed the village presents something of a sylvan oasis set as it is within the wider landscape of industrial agriculture with hedges few and far between. Most of the properties there have tree or hedge boundaries and there has been some recent positive enhancement of this with the planting up of areas west of the churchyard where a number of footpaths cross private land giving public access.
Another area of newer planting done to great effect is the row of large Poplars alongside the road from the green east towards the Wheelhouse Inn. The churchyard itself has its own mature planting of Yew, Beech, Oak and Sycamore. The only trees in the parish that have been felt under threat became the subject of Tree Preservation Order no.267 made by West Suffolk County Council in 1973. It covers two large areas of Oak, Ash and Hazel that comprise Nedging Woods To the west of the conservation area, the river valley is designated part of the Brett Valley Special Landscape Area, and remains rich in wetland trees such as Willow, Poplar and Alder.
Services We are advised by the vendors that mains electricity and water are
connected. The property benefits from Broadband connection, oil fired central heating and private drainage (Klargester).
