Location
The property is located on Bibbys Way, in the southern part of the market town of Framlingham. The thriving town of 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 and a Co-operative supermarket.  Off the Market Hill are a number of other businesses providing day-to-day services including pubs, vets, a medical centre and schools.  Sir Robert Hitcham’s Primary School is highly regarded and Thomas Mills High School is considered one of the best state schools in the East of England.  There is also Framlingham College, which is served by its prep school at Brandeston Hall, some 5 miles away.   
In recent years Framlingham was voted the number one place to live in the country and is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle which is managed by English Heritage.  More latterly, Framlingham was included within the top four places in the country to live by the Sunday Times. 

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 such as 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.  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.

A front door provides access to the ground floor hallway/boot room where stairs lead to the first floor landing and another door leads to the back garden.  There is access to a ground floor snug or fourth bedroom, shower room and also the former garage which is now in use as a games/playroom.  This could very easily be turned back into a garage if desired.  On the first floor there is a light and well equipped open plan kitchen/dining room which enjoys views over the rear garden and fields beyond.  The kitchen area is fitted with an integrated dishwasher, washing machine, fridge/freezer and double electric oven with gas hob above.  From here, double doors open to the sitting room which has sash windows overlooking an open area and the street scene.  From the landing stairs lead up to the second floor  where there is an airing cupboard and store and doors lead off to the three bedrooms.  The principal bedroom has built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower; the second bedroom, a good sized double, has built-in wardrobes and the third bedroom is a large single or smaller double.  In addition is a family bathroom.
