The Local Area
A Paradise for City escapees……Only over the last decade or so, many City dwellers have discovered the wonders of the Suffolk coast. buying homes in towns and villages like Aldeburgh, Southwold, Orford and Woodbridge. Yet further south and much less well known just over the Essex border from Constable country is the Shotley Peninsula, a well-kept South Suffolk secret. This hidden gem has so much to offer, a ten-mile long finger of land in an area of outstanding natural beauty, east of all the main roads, sandwiched between the Stour and Orwell Rivers. Probably because there are only two roads onto the peninsula, the area has been largely ignored as people have rushed north, seeking a holiday destination or a better lifestyle! Family life on unspoilt Shotley Peninsula harks back to gentler times when kids could enjoy healthier lives, walking or cycling to school and playing outdoors, but Shh or everyone will want to live here, and homes that come up for sale are rarely on the market for very long, and he is a gem recently refurbished and ready for a new family.
