Location
36 Castle Brooks forms part of the original Castle Brooks development which is located just a short distance from the centre of Framlingham.  Number 36 benefits from being at the end of a vehicular no-through road, meaning that there is no passing traffic. Framlingham is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle, but it also benefits from a doctors surgery, Sir Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School & Nursery, Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College.  There is a good selection of independent shops and businesses, including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, nursery, vets and delicatessen.  Framlingham is also home to the Crown Hotel and a Co-operative supermarket.  

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.
