About

Martlesham & Purdis Farm is a residential ward situated just east of Ipswich, primarily characterised by modern housing estates developed from the 1970s onwards. The area is defined by its proximity to the A12 and A14 road corridors, which provide major transport links. Land use is largely suburban, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes, local shopping parades, and several primary schools serving the community. The landscape is generally flat, with pockets of open space and playing fields integrated into the housing layouts.

The ward contains the distinct settlement of Purdis Farm, known for its equestrian centre and stable yards, reflecting a more rural past. A notable local feature is the Martlesham Creek, a tidal inlet off the River Deben, which edges the ward's southern boundary. This area includes sailing clubs and walking paths along the water's edge, contrasting with the suburban neighbourhoods inland. The BT Adastral Park research centre is located immediately to the north, a significant employer, though it technically falls just outside the ward's boundary.
