Location
The property is set along Mount Pleasant, just a short walk from the centre of the town.  Framlingham is probably best known for its fine medieval castle managed by English Heritage.  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.  Away from Market Hill are a number of other businesses including pubs, vets, a medical centre and schools.  Sir Robert Hitcham’s Primary School and Thomas Mills High School are both well regarded.  There is also Framlingham College, which is served by its preparatory school, Brandeston Hall, some 5 miles away.  

Framlingham is surrounded by delightful villages, many of which have popular public houses.  There are lovely walks from Framlingham into the surrounding countryside, and amenities such as golf in the nearby locations of Cretingham (6 miles), Woodbridge (12 miles) and Aldeburgh (13 miles).  The world famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall is within easy reach (10½ miles).  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 the popular destinations of Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness and Orford all a short drive away.  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 Station, scheduled to take just over the hour.

Directions
From the Agent’s office proceed north out of the town on College Road.  Turn left into Mount Pleasant and the property will be found on the left hand side.

Description
Windwhistle is a substantial detached three bedroom bungalow, that probably originally dates from the 1960s, and which now requires updating and refurbishing throughout.  In all the accommodation extends to over 1,700 sq. ft (159 sqm) and comprises a 26’ sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, dining/playroom and garden room.  There are also three double bedrooms, a shower room and separate WC.

Outside there is a shared driveway, which is flanked by gardens, that leads to a generous parking and turning area.  The majority of the gardens are to the side and rear of Windwhistle, and facing in southerly and westerly directions, these enjoy the sun throughout the day. 

Whilst the property does benefit from gas-fired central heating and double/secondary glazing throughout, it does now warrant a programme of renovation and refurbishment, which could potentially include reconfiguring and/or extending the accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.  

Prospective purchasers should note that the neighbouring property, Eolian Place, has recently been built and is in the final few weeks of being completed.  Eolian Place benefits from a right of way over the driveway owned by Windwhistle, subject to contributing a 50% share of the maintenance and repair costs of the driveway.  As the next door property is nearing completion, it is intended that the drive will be finished in shingle with the initial entrance way laid to tarmac.  

Viewing Strictly by appointment with the agent.  

Services  Mains water, drainage, gas and electricity connected.  Gas-fired boiler serving the central heating and hot water systems.
