The neighbouring village of Wilby has a well respected primary school. The village of Laxfield is within 4 miles and this has a Co-operative store, two public houses, including The Kings Head (known as The Low House), and a primary school. The sought after medieval market town of Framlingham is only 5 miles away, which is best known for its Norman castle. Framlingham is home to a good selection of independent shops and businesses including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency and delicatessen. It is also home to the Crown Hotel, Barclays Bank and a Co-operative supermarket. Off the Market Hill are a number of other businesses providing day-to-day services including pubs, vets, a medical centre and schools. There is also Framlingham College, which is served by its prep school, Brandeston Hall, some 5 miles away. The town of Diss is 16 miles and offers Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi supermarkets, as well as a range of smaller shops and services, and a railway station offering direct services to London’s Liverpool Street station. The county town of Ipswich is approximately 20 miles and the Heritage Coast, with all it has to offer, is just 17 miles away.  

Description
Crown Farmhouse is an attractive, predominantly timber framed house under a tiled roof that was substantially extended in the late 1990s.  Whilst it offers period features, it has the advantage of not being Listed.  Although this is a particularly lovely property, it is anticipated that an incoming purchaser would wish to carry out some general refurbishment works, particularly to the outbuildings.  

A front door provides access to the hallway, off which is the sitting room and also the kitchen.  This is fitted with high and low-level wall units and has a two oven racing green Aga along with a double electric oven and halogen hob.  There are windows overlooking the gardens, exposed timbers, access to the inner hallway and also access to the rear hall/utility room.  This has high ceilings and is fitted with wall cupboards, with roll edge worksurface and a two and a half bowl stainless steel sink.  Here there is space and plumbing for a washing machine, fridge freezer and it is also home to the oil-fired boiler.  A door leads to the exterior.  From the inner hallway stairs lead to the first floor landing and there are doors to the sitting room, downstairs shower room and dining room.  The dining room has a brick fireplace and French doors opening to the rear garden.  The downstairs shower room has a WC, handwash basin and shower unit.  The most impressive dual aspect sitting room has windows overlooking the front a rear gardens.  There is an inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam above which is home to a woodburning stove.  There is parquet flooring in a herringbone style as well as exposed studwork and beams.  A door opens to the drawing room.  This extension which was constructed circa 25 years ago has fitted in beautifully with the rest of the house.  It is dual aspect with French doors to the garden and windows overlooking the rear of the property.  The exposed timbers came from Suffolk trees.  Off this is a spacious dual aspect study with windows enjoying views of the gardens.  From the first floor landing is access to the four bedrooms and also a ladder style staircase leading to the second floor attic rooms.  The principal bedroom forms part of the new extension and is a particularly spacious dual aspect room.  Off it is a dressing area with built-in cupboards and there is also a large bathroom comprising a shower, bath, WC and two handwash basins.  Bedroom two is a double with window to the front of the property and brick fireplace.  A door opens to a ‘Jack and Jill’ bathroom that has a WC, handwash basin and bath.  From here there is access to the third double bedroom which has two windows to the front and side of the property along with a fireplace.  A door leads back to the landing where there is access to the forth bedroom which can be used as a double and requires general refurbishment.  On the second floor there is a landing with built-in cupboards.  A corridor leads to a room which would have historically been a bedroom or bathroom and contains a shower.  In addition is access to a particularly spacious loft which sits above the principal bedroom.  This is triple aspect and has windows enjoying far reaching views of the Suffolk landscape.  It has heating and it is anticipated that it could easily be converted/used as additional living accommodation if desired subject to the normal consents.

The Outside
The property is approached from the road via a driveway which leads to off-road parking.  Adjacent to this is a garage with sliding door to the front adjoining which is a small timber frame barn.  Beyond is a couple of basic outbuildings and a greenhouse.  The front garden is predominantly laid to grass and a pathway flanked by low-level hedging leads to the front door.  Within the garden are mature willows and a catalpa tree.  There is also an attractive summer house with thatched roof.  The rear garden is laid to grass and contains shrubs and rose bushes.  Here there is a further useful outbuilding.  To the south-west of the house is a patio area and pergola adorned by a grapevine, beyond which is a pond.  From here there is access to an orchard.  In all, the grounds extend to approximately 1.4 acres.

Viewing Strictly by appointment with the agent.  

Services  Mains water and electricity.  Oil-fired central heating system.  Private drainage system (whilst the septic tank is believed to work in a satisfactory manner, it is unlikely to comply with the new regulations and a buyer should budget to install a new sewage treatment plant.  The cost of this has been taken into account within the guide price).
