Situated in West Suffolk in between Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket and just 2 miles off the main A14. Church View offers 4 acres of lawn set in the grounds of Suffolk Academy, a sports and entertainment centre and just a 10 minute walk from a village and pub. It will appeal not only to those looking for a place to relax and appreciate the views but also to the more energetic who will enjoy walking or cycling along surrounding quiet lanes.

There are also two general stores, post office, a fish and chip shop and play area with skate ramps for the children.
The site is only 50m from the 1000 year old Barrow Church, hence our name, 8 miles from historic Bury St Edmunds and 7 miles from the countries racehorse capital Newmarket.
