Location
The postal address for Bridge House is recorded as Dallinghoo although it is actually located on the very edge of the popular village of Charsfield. Charsfield benefits from a primary school and a first class recreational area with tennis courts, play equipment, outside gym equipment,  purpose-built barbeque and picnic area along with a multi-use games area. The village also boasts a thriving village hall which plays host to many clubs and events including live music, a Friday night bar, exercise classes and is also the meeting place for action groups including Sustainable Energy to help ensure the longevity of this community spirited village.

The property is located in an excellent position for access to Framlingham (5 miles), Wickham Market (3.5 miles), Woodbridge (6 miles) and the county town of Ipswich (11 miles). Both Framlingham and Woodbridge are well known for their excellent schools in both the state and private sectors, with Framlingham having Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College, and Woodbridge being home to Farlingaye High School and Woodbridge School. Woodbridge is located on the banks of the River Deben and offers a wide variety of shops and restaurants. The medieval market town of Framlingham, with its Norman castle, is also home to a good range of local shops and businesses. Ipswich has national stores, as well as trains to London’s Liverpool Street, scheduled to take just over the hour.

Directions
From the Agent’s office travel in a southerly direction on the B1116 through the villages of Parham and Hacheston towards Wickham Market. At the roundabout, take the third exit into the village of Wickham Market. Proceed over the bridge and along the High Street and take the left hand turning into Border Cot Lane (B1078). Follow this road for approximately 3.5 miles and just after the 30mph speed limit signs, the cottage will be found on the left hand side just before the village sign for Charsfield.

This area has its own independent vehicular access and is enclosed by post and rail fencing and hedging.
