Location
The property is set along College Road, within walking distance of the centre of the town.  Nearby are the 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 within the town 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.  In recent years Framlingham has often featured as the number one place to live in the country, and is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle.

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.

Directions
From the Agent’s office proceed north along College Road.  Pass the turning to Mount Pleasant and the property will be found a short way along on the left hand side.

Description
This delightful period property, which is just a short walk from the centre of the town, offers beautifully presented accommodation throughout.  

Possibly dating from the late 18th or early 19th century, 71 College Road is a timber  framed property with an impressive brick and flint frontage, that occupies a prominent position along College Road and enjoys views towards the castle, church tower and across the surrounding roofscape.  

The vendor has almost entirely redecorated the property internally, as well as the external render and woodwork at the rear, and refurbished the bathroom.  The vendor has also cleverly repurposed some of the storage areas and cupboards, to create a ‘utility cupboard’ just off the kitchen/breakfast room as well as a dressing area serving the principal bedroom, that is fitted with hanging rails and drawer units.

Extensive works have also been undertaken to the rear garden, which has been landscaped to create a delightful terraced garden with some mature planting and pleached trees.  Facing in a westerly direction this enjoys the sun during the latter part of the day and into the afternoon.  There is also a separate, side access to the rear garden via a right of way through the neighbour’s property.

Whilst the property does not have any dedicated parking, there is unrestricted parking available along College Road.
