Introduction
The site sits in a picturesque rural hamlet on the outskirts of Monks Eleigh, which is a well-served and popular village convenient for Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury and Lavenham. The village itself offers an excellent range of facilities including a popular pub with accommodation, community shop and post office and a fine parish church. The nearby medieval village of Lavenham (3 miles) one of England’s finest medieval villages with its beautiful church and Market Square, offers an excellent range of amenities including grocery stores, bakers, butchers, pharmacists and a post office, as well as galleries, speciality shops, fine restaurants, hotels and public houses. For the rail commuter Manningtree Station is around a 30-minute drive and has regular rail service to London Liverpool Street, taking approximately 60 minutes.

The site has full planning consent for the erection of two semi-detached dwellings with parking, under Babergh District Council: reference DC/25/02057. Consent was granted on 11th July 2025. Please note the conditions on the planning application, a copy of which is attached to these sales particulars for convenience.
