About Suffolk

Yaxley Hall Home Farm is located in an extremely beautiful part of Suffolk, nestled in rolling countryside directly behind the Shrubland Park Estate. The farmhouse is unusual in not being situated on the edge of its land, but instead squarely in the centre of 37 acres of it own pastureland and fields.

The A14 is two miles away, allowing for easy access, but the only road that passes the farm is a C-road, meaning that the tranquility of the location is preserved.

The Suffolk Heritage Coast (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) is easily reached from the farm, with the key attractions of historic Woodbridge and the magnificent Anglo-Saxon Royal burial ground of Sutton Hoo less than 10 miles away. Framlingham Castle, Snape Maltings (the location of Benjamin Britten’s Aldeburgh Festival and other year round cultural events), and the beautiful seaside town of Southwold are also a short drive.

More immediately on the farm’s doorstep, the 6 mile signposted Shrubland Estate walk actually crosses our land, meaning that you can enjoy one of Suffolk’s best walks leaving your car behind. Other footpaths connect you directly to the villages of Hemingstone and Coddenham. The latter includes a welcoming country pub and an excellent traditional village store / post office with local quality produce on sale.

Whether you would like to simply enjoy the complete quiet of Yaxley Hall Home Farm, take cycle rides or walks out from your door, or to use it as a base for sightseeing the uncrowded and beautiful region of East Anglia, the location could hardly be better.
