Location Heathlands is approached from Guilding's Lane, which is located off Church Road, in the popular village of Snape. This area of Suffolk has become a celebrated cultural hub, with Snape itself being home to Snape Maltings, an arts and shopping complex on the banks of the River Alde, which also boasts a world famous concert hall. The village has three pubs and a myriad of walks into the surrounding countryside.

Suffolk's Heritage Coast is within easy reach, with the historic village of Orford being just 5 miles away, and the seaside town of Aldeburgh with its annual Festival of Music and the Arts also being 5 miles away. The market town of Saxmundham is just a short drive from the property and offers Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets, as well as cafes, businesses and day-to-day shopping facilities. The railway station provides regular train services to London's Liverpool Street Station via Ipswich. The county town of Ipswich is approximately 21 miles from the property and boasts a range of local and national stores, along with a railway station with direct trains to London, scheduled to take just over the hour.  

Description Heathlands is a charming, three-bedroom, detached redbrick house dating from the mid-twentieth century, sitting in mature gardens extending to 0.9 acres (subject to survey). Although well laid out, the accommodation is now in need of a complete schedule of refurbishment and renovation, and would offer an exciting opportunity for an incoming buyer to further develop the property, subject to obtaining the relevant planning permissions and consents. The dwelling benefits from mains electricity and drainage, oil-fired central heating, and water supplied from a private well (with a UV filtration system). A private driveway provides parking for several vehicles.
