DOWNLOAD PROPERTY BROCHURE

Entrance hall, sitting/dining room, kitchen and cloakroom. Two double bedrooms and bathroom. Shared shingled access way, generous front garden and courtyard rear garden. 

Location
The property will be found in a tucked away location, set well back from Castle Street in the centre of the popular market town of Framlingham.  The property is  well placed to benefit from all the amenities the town has to offer.  Framlingham is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle but also benefits from a good selection of independent shops and businesses including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, nursery, vets and delicatessen.  It is also home to the Crown Hotel,  a Co-operative supermarket and doctors’ surgery.   The town also benefits from  Sir Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School & Nursery, Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College.  

Framlingham is surrounded by delightful villages, many of which have popular public houses.  There are lovely walks from the town into the surrounding countryside, and amenities such as golf in nearby locations such as Cretingham (6 miles), Woodbridge (12 miles) and Aldeburgh (13 miles).  The world famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall is nearby (10½ miles), and there is also bird watching at the RSPB centre at Minsmere (15 miles).  Framlingham is only 12 miles from the coast as the crow flies with easy access to the popular destinations of Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness and Orford.  The county town of Ipswich lies approximately 18 miles to the south-west and from here there are regular services to London’s Liverpool Street, scheduled to take just over an hour.

Directions
From the Market Hill in the centre of Framlingham head towards the church and castle along Church Street.  At the top of Church Street bear right into Castle Street where the entrance to the property will be found a short way along on the right hand side.

Description
Believed to date from the early 1800s, 12B Castle Street forms part of a converted barn that enjoys a delightful, tucked away location in the very centre of Framlingham.  

The property is seemingly of brick construction, set beneath a pantiled roof, and offers a spacious amount of accommodation extending to nearly 900 sq ft (83 sqm) in all.  On the ground floor there is an entrance hall together with 17’ sitting/dining room, kitchen and cloakroom, whilst on the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a bathroom.  Outside there is the access way, over which neighbouring properties enjoy a right of way and which we understand would not be suitable for vehicular movements, together with a generous front garden and courtyard rear garden that are linked via a covered walkway. 

The property has been tenanted for some years, and has recently undergone a programme of light refurbishment.  However, it still provides scope for an incoming purchaser to impose their own personal style and design on the property.

One of 12B Castle Street’s key attributes is its wonderful location, tucked away from the ‘hub-bub’ of the town, but with all the facilities and amenities of Framlingham within a few minutes walk.
