Sudbury itself is a busy and expanding market town located on the Essex/Suffolk border and which has seen considerable growth in all sectors in recent years and this is likely to continue with significant new residential development taking place in the town including the Chilton Woods development which will provide around 1,000 new homes. Sudbury is situated some fourteen miles south of Bury St Edmunds, fifteen miles northwest of Colchester and twenty-three miles from the county town of Ipswich. The town has train services to London via Marks Tey with Stansted Airport and the M11 being within around forty-five minutes drivetime.
