Location
Hillside is set along Fore Street, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Framlingham and well placed to benefit from all the amenities the town has to offer.  Framlingham has  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, Barclays Bank, 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 agent’s office in Well Close Square, turn left onto Station Road, and left again into Fore Street.  Proceed up the hill, passing Fairfield Road on the right hand side until arriving at Hillside which will be found on the left.

Description
Hillside comprises a beautifully presented Victorian house that has been extended and refurbished to a very high standard in recent years.   The refurbishment was undertaken in a sympathetic style with the retention of many of the original features, including the sash windows that have been double glazed, but at the same time adding a more contemporary feel with some of the fittings, fixtures and décor.  In addition the property was extended at the rear to create a fantastic additional reception room that is currently used as a snug and second dining room, and which benefits from fully glazed bi-fold doors linking the room wonderfully well with the west facing garden.  There is also the open plan kitchen and dining room, which is a wonderful entertaining space, as well as a first floor landing with potential study area, three good size double bedrooms and a well fitted bathroom with separate shower enclosure.  Services have also been installed into the attic should there be scope for conversion in the future.

The rear garden, which has also been landscaped, enjoys views across the town’s roofscape towards St Michael’s church, and facing in a westerly direction benefits from the sun during the latter part of the day.  Whilst the property does not have dedicated parking there is plenty of on-street parking along Fore Street or nearby.
