Rendlesham
Your new house in Rendlesham, deep in the pretty Suffolk countryside, was once favoured by the King of the East Angles. In fact, the warrior king buried in a ship full of treasures in a local burial mound was thought to have lived in Rendlesham.
While the once large Anglo-Saxon settlement is now a village, the area still has much to attract new residents. Your new home in Rendlesham is close to the local primary school which has been rated good by Ofsted, a post office and village store as well as a dance studio and meditation centre. Just outside the village, the Bentwater Cold War Museum on an old airfield site is packed with original artefacts.

Walking trails
Just south of your new build home is Rendlesham Forest. This area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has 1,500-hectares of mixed woodland with picnic areas, a sculpture park as well as walking and cycle trails. The forest, part of the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, offers a choice of routes to explore including the Phoenix Trail developed after the great storm of 1987 and the UFO trail – named after the alleged sightings of UFOs in the forest in 1980.
Suffolk’s beautiful countryside
Your new build is the perfect base to explore the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
