ABOUT THE AREA This apartment is located in one of the best of the prime streets in Ipswich. Christchurch Park is just a 5 minute walk away and just 10minutes walk are two of the most popular Public Houses in Ipswich- The Greyhound (on Henley Road) and The Woolpack (Westerfield/Tuddenham Road junction). As well as great drinking pubs, they are renowned for their excellent food. The thriving town of Ipswich is set on the estuary of the River Orwell, providing fantastic walks and sailing, and has undergone an extensive gentrification programme in recent years, mainly around the vibrant waterfront offering many bars, restaurants, and the marina, and has become a popular "commutable" town to London. Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk and offers a wide variety of shopping, commercial and leisure facilities including a full range of sports clubs and societies, restaurants, and high street stores. There is an excellent choice of schooling within both the state and private sectors. Excellent sailing and golfing facilities are both available nearby and on the popular Suffolk Heritage Coast. Ipswich provides good access to various road networks via the A12 to the South with links to London and the M25 and via the A14 to The Midlands and M11. The railway station provides mainline railway links to London's Liverpool Street with an approximate journey time of sixty-five minutes.
