Description

The land comprises a number of level and regular shaped plots served by internal estate roads on the western edges and these are surfaced with hardcore. Some of the remaining land is concrete surfaced where redundant buildings have now been demolished plus an undeveloped area to the eastern edge of the site.

The village of Brantham is located on the northern banks of the River Stour, approximately 8 miles south of Ipswich (A137) where it links with the A14 (Southern Bypass) and 11 miles north east of Colchester, providing immediate access to the busy port of Felixstowe, Ipswich, the Midlands via the A14 at Cambridge and via the A12 to the M25. The site is accessed from the A137 via Factory Lane into the site which is bounded to the south by the busy, high speed Norwich to London Liverpool Street trainline. Regular services are provided from nearby Manningtree train station.
