LOCATION
The premises occupy a busy trading location in Queen Street a few yards from the junction with Swan Lane and Market Place with rear loading from Murton Slade. Nearby traders include Timpson’s, Saffron Walden Building Society and Peacocks, together with a variety of eateries and independent retailers. The prime retail area and shopper’s car parks are all within a few minutes’ walk.

Haverhill itself is a busy market town with a population of just under 30,000 and is located close to the borders of Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. The town has seen considerable growth in the recent years, and this is continuing with the northwest Haverhill development of 1100 new homes now underway.

Haverhill is some 14 miles southeast of Cambridge, 20 miles northwest of Braintree with Halstead and Sudbury being 15 and 17 miles respectively. The A11 dual carriageway is some 12 miles away and Stansted Airport some 20 miles distant.
