It is also ideally situated for access to all parts of the County. The A14 at Stowmarket is within 10 miles and the A12, which by-passes Woodbridge, provides access to Felixstowe and London. The Heritage coast is approximately 20 miles. There are main line Inter-City rail services to London Liverpool Street station from Ipswich and Stowmarket.

Continue past Otley College to the bottom of the hill and turn left signposted Otley. Proceed along this road into the village where the property will be found on the left hand side.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on Area rent estimate.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
