Location

42 Gosbeck Road is an attractive period house believed to date back to 1850 with modern extensions and built of timber frame and brick under predominantly pan tiled roofs. The house has been fully restored and finished to a high standard throughout. It is located in a stand alone setting surrounded by open countryside between the villages of Helmingham and Gosbeck. Helmingham has a primary school and the impressive Helmingham Hall, seat of the Tollemache family, which hold several public events at the property. Helmingham is about 2.5 miles from the larger village of Coddenham. Coddenham is an ancient village and was the largest Roman settlement in Suffolk. Today, it is a picturesque and vibrant village with fantastic amenities including an award winning, community run village shop, which also acts as a coffee shop, and a community centre with tennis courts.

The house is nine miles north of Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk, which offers a wide variety of shopping,
commercial and leisure facilities including a range of sports clubs
and societies, restaurants and high street stores. Woodbridge (10 miles) is a popular and attractive market town to the east of Helmingham, with an extensive range of facilities including a cinema, restaurants, shopping, busy dental practice, swimming pool and golf course. Woodbridge also provides sailing
on the River Deben. Education provisions in the area are excellent in both the state and independent sectors, with
prep schools, Orwell Park in Nacton and Framlingham Prep in
Brandeston and public schools in Ipswich, Woodbridge and
Framlingham.

The property is very conveniently located, just 5 miles from the A14. There are regular train services to London’s Liverpool Street station from Ipswich, the journey time taking from 65 minutes.
