Situation

Walnut Tree Farm is set at the very end of a “no through” country lane backing on to open fields and on the edge of the village of Bacton. The small lane links into a network of bridleways and footpaths. The near by village has a shop, church, a thriving primary school and a general stores to the far end of the village. The nearby market town of Stowmarket offers a large shopping centre and railway links direct to London. The A14 links Ipswich, Suffolk’s county town and Bury St Edmunds, both of which provide a much wider range of educational and recreational shopping facilities.
