Carlton Park, which comprises approximately 19 acres of parkland, some of which is available for private enjoyment of the individual owners, lies just to the north of the market town of Saxmundham which offers a good range of shops in a traditional High Street setting, together with both Waitrose and Tesco supermarkets. The town also benefits from having a railway station which gives connecting services via Ipswich to London Liverpool Street. The delightful Suffolk Heritage Coastline is easily accessible to the east with the genteel and unspoilt coastal towns of Southwold and Aldeburgh both lying within easy driving distance. For music lovers Snape Maltings Concert Hall is the venue for many of the concerts that make up the Annual Aldeburgh Music Festival, whilst those with sporting interests are well catered for in the area with first class golf courses at both Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, a modern sports centre and swimming pool complex at nearby Leiston and for sailors the Rivers Alde and Ore provide some of the prettiest sailing waters on the East Coast.
