Mr Wickens
This is a very attractive, well-appointed little cottage only 10 minutes' walk from Snape Maltings, and ideally placed for all the beautiful walks in the area with their amazing wildlife. Though hemmed in by other properties, privacy is assured by hedges and fencing. Sadly the one thing these can't keep out is the traffic noise. The main road is the only north-south axis east of the A12 at this point, so traffic is constant during the day (OK at night). This means that the otherwise ideal seating area at the front is effectively unusable most of the time. We used the back seating area, which was much quieter. We were grateful for the notes posted around the house to remind us of important things like waste disposal arrangements and using the wall mirror opposite to exit the drive (otherwise a scary undertaking). This is a sign of an experienced and thoughtful owner, and reduces the stress levels for visitors in an unfamiliar house.
