The village has a primary school, church, village hall and playing fields and offers easy access to the A12 and A14 commuter trunk roads.

The county town of Ipswich mixes historic character with a more modern waterfront and town centre. You will find medieval streets and older buildings in areas like the town centre, alongside regenerated docks, restaurants, cultural venues, and the university area around the Waterfront. The town is also an important economic hub for Suffolk, with strengths in business, education, culture, and links to nearby Felixstowe port and London by rail with a journey time of approximately 1hr 15mins to London Liverpool Street Station. Ipswich offers a range of local amenities including schools, shops, doctors, dental surgeries, hospital, two theatres, parks including the popular Orwell Country Park and Christchurch Park, and recreational facilities.
