Location

1 Widows Nest will be found in a semi-rural position along Shop Street and backing onto open agricultural land at the rear.  Worlingworth is a rural village which benefits from an ‘outstanding’ primary school, The Swan, which is the village pub but also a well stocked shop, village hall/community centre and playing field, which hosts many activities. 

Worlingworth is just 7 miles from Framlingham, which is best known locally for its fine medieval castle.  Here there is a further choice of schooling in both the state and private sectors, as well as a variety of shops including a Co-op supermarket, medical centre, public houses and restaurants. The nearby villages of Stradbroke (5 miles) and Debenham (6 miles), as well as the market town of Eye (5 miles from the village sign), all offer day-to-day shopping and medical facilities, as well as further excellent schooling. 

The Heritage Coast, with the popular resorts of Southwold and Aldeburgh, is within easy driving distance. For commuters, the main railway station at Diss provides direct services to London's Liverpool Street station, Ipswich and Norwich. Located approximately 12 miles from the property, Diss also offers an 18-hole golf course, tennis and squash clubs, an indoor swimming pool and gym, as well as Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi supermarkets. Just under 20 miles to the south of the property is the county town of Ipswich, which offers further national shops, services and a train station.

Outside
1 Widows Nest  is set well back from the village street and approached over a concrete driveway that leads to a five bar gate opening onto the gardens and grounds.  We understand that the neighbouring property, 2 Widows Nest, benefits from a right of way over the driveway to their parking space beside their cottage.  To the west of the driveway are part of the gardens and grounds that serve 1 Widows Nest.  This area comprises a pleasant orchard area, that includes a number of maturing fruit bearing trees including cherry, apple and plum.  Around the perimeter of the orchard are a number of established trees and hedging that provide a good degree of privacy, with further established oak, horse chestnut, willow and cherry trees to the rear.  Towards the end of the driveway, and just before the five bar gate, is a parking area.  Beside the property is an area of concrete that provides a further area for the parking and turning of vehicles  and here there is a useful storage shed with light and power connected. 

The majority of the gardens and grounds are to the rear and facing almost due south these enjoy the sun throughout the day.  The garden is predominantly laid to grass for ease of maintenance, but interspersed with a variety of established and maturing specimen trees and shrubs.  The rear garden is almost entirely enclosed with post and stock proof fencing, together with established hedging in part, creating a very private area indeed.  In the south-eastern corner of the garden there is also a patio area with summerhouse.  Other buildings include a useful timber frame garden storage shed and a greenhouse, together with a range of more dilapidated garden sheds.   In all, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.75 acres (0.72 hectares).

About Clarke & Simpson

Clarke & Simpson is an independent firm of Chartered Surveyors dealing in rural property matters including estate agency, residential lettings, farm and land sales, professional valuations, estate management, auctioneering and architectural work. With a team of over thirty working from our office in the medieval town of Framlingham, we pride ourselves on our wealth of experience and knowledge and do our very best to a offer a completely dedicated, personal and professional service.

Whilst our business is based around bricks and mortar, more fundamentally it is about people and this is where Clarke & Simpson hope that we genuinely excel. We believe our reputation is built on openness and honesty.

History

The business was started in Christopher Clarke's playroom back in 1989. Christopher had previously been the managing director of a large corporate agency and was keen to get back to his original roots of selling property and offering a first class personal service. The business may have grown but there is still the great enthusiasm from all the team to offer the highest quality care and attention.

Service

We all detest phoning any business and either getting an answerphone or speaking to someone who cannot help and are simply fielding the call. We really want everyone who contacts us to feel that we have done our very best to help in a prompt and efficient manner. When you call during working hours you will always get to speak to one of our experienced team, not an answer phone. If that person cannot immediately help you, they will do their utmost to find someone who can.

  • Call us and always get to speak to a member of our experienced staff and never an answerphone during office hours.
  • With our team of over thirty, including eight Chartered Surveyors, we are confident that our personal and truly professional service will most often be a cut above the rest.
  • Our agents have lived and worked in Suffolk for most of their lives and are proud of the fact that they know most small lanes, pubs, schools and parishes in the area, and can offer buyers and sellers honest and knowledgeable advice.
  • We work on the basis that, having dealt with Clarke & Simpson, you would be happy and keen to recommend us to your family and friends.
