Description

The Property A well-maintained detached bungalow in the sought-after village of Friston, ideally positioned between Aldeburgh and Saxmundham. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation with plenty of natural light and is set within an established, mature garden. While some aspects are dated, it has been lovingly kept and provides an excellent opportunity for a buyer to modernise to their own taste and create a truly special home.

The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious sitting room with feature fireplace and doors opening to the garden, and a dining room with separate kitchen, which is fitted with a range of units and enjoys garden views. There are two double and one single bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside, Richmead enjoys a mature, well-stocked garden with lawns, flower beds, and productive areas ideal for keen gardeners. There are a number of outbuildings including a greenhouse and garden shed, along with a detached garage and driveway parking.

With its generous garden, practical layout, and scope for improvement, Richmead is an exciting opportunity to acquire a bungalow in a popular village location. 

The Location Friston is a charming Suffolk village with a thriving community, set amongst beautiful country-side and within easy reach of the Heritage Coast. The village is home to the popular Old Cheq-uers pub and lies just 3 miles from the renowned coastal town of Aldeburgh, famous for its beach, independent shops, galleries, and restaurants. Snape Maltings, with its world-class con-cert hall, shops, and eateries, is only 2 miles away.

The market town of Saxmundham, with its twice-weekly market, Waitrose and Tesco super-markets, and rail services to London Liverpool Street via Ipswich, is about 4 miles distant. The surrounding countryside offers wonderful walking and cycling routes, while the coast at Alde-burgh, Thorpeness, and further afield at Southwold and Dunwich provides endless leisure op-portunities.

About Jennie Jones Estate Agents, Saxmundham & Suffolk Heritage Coast

26 High Street, Saxmundham, IP17 1AB
Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0

Established in the early 1990s by Jennie Jones herself, Jennie Jones Estate Agents has grown to become one of the leading independent estate agencies on Suffolk's Heritage Coast. With offices in Saxmundham, Southwold, and Aldeburgh, we are proud to serve this beautiful region, encompassing the charming coastal towns, inland villages, and historic market communities.

Our Saxmundham branch, located at 26 High Street, is staffed by a dedicated and knowledgeable team committed to providing the highest standards of personal and professional service. We specialise in marketing a diverse range of properties from large country houses to one-bedroom apartments, and even beach huts tailoring our approach to meet the unique needs of each client.

In May 2025, we welcomed Aarran Ellis as the new owner. Aarran brings over two decades of experience in estate agency and property technology, including leadership roles at Zoopla, Jupix, and The Lettings Hub. He originally joined Jennie Jones in 2003, successfully opening and managing the Saxmundham branch. His return marks a new chapter in our commitment to innovation and exceptional customer service.

Our deep understanding of the local property market, combined with national and international exposure through top property portals, ensures that we deliver results that matter. Being an independent firm, we are answerable to our clients not shareholders and take great pride in our achievements on their behalf.

At Jennie Jones, we believe estate agency is more than just a property business; it's a people business. We enjoy what we do and love the area we do it in.
