Location
The property is located on the outskirts of the popular market town of Framlingham. Framlingham is probably best known for its fine Medieval 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 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
Leaving the agent’s Framlingham office, proceed in a westerly direction onto College Road. Continue up the hill past Framlingham College taking the next left hand turn into Kings Avenue where the property can be found a short way down on the right hand side identified by a Clarke and Simpson For Sale board.
