Location - Lavenham is often described as one of England's finest preserved medieval villages. With its fortunes arising from the wool cloth trade in the 15th and 16th Centuries, the village has a magnificent parish church and a wonderful selection of ancient houses and cottages dating from Tudor timber buildings through the Georgian period to the Victorian era. Today Lavenham is a vibrant village with a most active community and a useful range of shops including a butcher, pharmacy with post office counter, bakery, traditional grocer's store, newsagents and two useful Co-op supermarkets. There are also a number of interesting shops and galleries and several fine public houses and restaurants. There is a well regarded primary school and a doctor's surgery.

Lower Road is right on the edge of the village on the eastern side, down by the River Brett with open fields behind. The house has some nice views over countryside from the upstairs windows at the back.

Directions - At the northern end of Lavenham High Street, turn right signposted to Preston St Mary and then right again into Lower Road. Follow along and the house is on the left, almost opposite Spring Street.
