The property occupies a two third acre plot which includes an excellent garage and stable block with a small paddock to the rear recently used for a horse. Local facilities include a public house at Finningham and a post office stores and primary school in the adjacent village of Gislingham. The twin villages of Rickinghall and Botesdale are approximately five miles away and offer further local amenities.

The county town of Ipswich is approximately twenty miles away and offers all the social, shopping and leisure facilities associated with a city sized centre and historic Bury St Edmunds is a similar distance. Local road links are via the A140 approximately four miles away which offers access southerly to the A14 and northerly to Norfolk's county city Norwich which has a regional airport.
