THE LOCATION

Little Waldingfield is a small and pretty village which has a Church, a pub and a range of period and modern houses and cottages. The nearby village of Great Waldingfield has a useful shop and wider amenities can be found in the nearby market towns of Sudbury and Hadleigh, each providing an excellent range of shopping and recreational facilities. Historic Lavenham is only a short distance away with many interesting shops and galleries, pubs and restaurants. Sudbury provides good secondary schools, as does the Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds to the north. Bridge Bungalow is set around a quarter of a mile outside the village amidst open countryside. Bridge Bungalow takes its name from the adjacent road bridge across a brook which is a tributary of the river Box.
