university city of Cambridge again 22 miles to the east. The A14 and A11 also provides good access to the east coast ports, the midlands and Stansted airport (44 Miles) and London via the M11.
Herringswell Manor is situated just outside the village and is understood to have been built as a private home with outbuildings in 1906, however it is understood that there has been a house on the site in various forms
since the Saxon times. It is approached via a tree lined driveway with electronic gates leading to the main house and gardens. Herringswell Manor was developed by the City & Country Group who have a long history in converting and restoring historic and unique dwellings.
