Welcome to our house

The railway station is nearby, with links to to Ipswich, London and Norwich.
Purpose built in 1987, our house is home to 11 residents who have the privacy of their own accommodation with the bonus of companionship from other residents and support from our dedicated, professional and caring team of staff.
Most of our rooms come with kitchen area, allowing you to maintain your independence and prepare food and drinks for yourself and any visiting guests you may have. All of our rooms come unfurnished enabling you to decorate your room in your own personal taste; bring your own favourite pieces of furniture and any other treasured photos and belongings to make it feel like home.
We have a bright and airy conservatory which provides the ideal location for looking out onto our wonderful garden where you'll be able to see the array of birds that come to the feeders. Alternatively spend time relaxing or enjoying the company and getting to know other residents.
Abbeyfield House is in an excellent location, we're about a five minute walk away from the quay, which hosts a carnival every year, and you'll find a lovely area to sit and walk with a small cafe serving up teas, coffees, snacks and delicious whippy ice creams. As one of the fastest growing market towns in the east, you'll unearth the extensive range of independent shops, restaurants and pubs in the heart of Beccles Town.
