Location
4 Clarke Drive is located in a small cul-de-sac, just a short distance from the centre of the popular market town of Framlingham.  Framlingham is home to a good selection of independent shops and businesses including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, doctors surgery, vets and delicatessen. It is also home to the Crown Hotel, a Co-operative supermarket, Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School, Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College. Framlingham has often featured as the number one place to live in the country and is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle which is managed by English Heritage. 

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. 

Directions
From the Agent’s office, proceed along Station Road, turning right into Victoria Mill Road, just before the Station Public House. Continue along Victoria Mill Road turning left onto Clarke Drive. The property will be found a short way on the left hand side.

Description
4 Clarke Drive is a three/four bedroom link-detached house forming part of an impressive small development completed by Hopkins Homes in 2017 and has been immaculately maintained by the current vendors during their tenure. The property benefits from twelve solar panels with four batteries, an Aquabion water conditioner and underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

A front door opens into the entrance hall which provides access to the open-plan kitchen/dining area, sitting room and cloakroom. The kitchen/dining area is a particular feature of the property having been extended in 2017 and enjoys bi-fold doors that open onto the rear patio. The kitchen was refitted in 2022 and comprises a stylish range of high and low level modern wall units with Quartz worktops. Integrated appliances include a dishwasher, washing machine, Neff combination electric oven, larder fridge and under-counter freezer, along with a Falcon range mains gas cooker and an Electriq extractor fan above. A central island incorporates an inset stainless steel sink with Quooker boiling water tap, while a further slimline sink is positioned towards the rear of the kitchen area. A door leads from here to the understairs storage cupboard. The sitting room has sash windows to the front and side of the property and features a gas fireplace. The cloakroom comprises a WC, handwash basin and extractor fan.

Stairs rise to the first-floor landing which provides access to the bedrooms, bathroom and storage cupboards. The principal bedroom has a sash window to the front of the property and benefits from an en-suite shower room comprising a walk-in shower with tiled surround, WC, handwash basin, extractor fan and an obscured glazed sash window to the front.  Both shower rooms were refitted in 2024. A door from the principal bedroom leads to a walk-in wardrobe with fitted rails, shelving and drawers. This is the fourth bedroom that can easily be converted back into a bedroom. From here there is ladder access to the fully boarded loft. A further door from the bedroom opens into an additional built-in wardrobe. Bedroom two is a double room with a sash window to the front. It has a built-in desk, shelving and cupboard. Bedroom three is a further double room with a window to the side, a Velux window and has built-in double cupboards along with a further loft access hatch. The bathroom was refitted in 2024 and comprises a walk-in shower with tiled surround, WC, handwash basin, extractor fan and obscured glazed windows to the side. Also accessed via the landing is a storage cupboard and the airing cupboard which houses the hot water cylinder.

Outside
The property is approached from the road via a professionally landscaped front garden with steps leading up to the front door. The rear garden is accessed from the bi-fold doors in the kitchen/dining area and has been thoughtfully landscaped with a paved patio, raised flower beds, a built-in bench and barbeque area. A pathway leads around the side of the house to a sliding gate which provides access to the resin driveway, garage and EV charging point. The garage is accessible via an up-and-over door and a separate personnel door from the garden. It has been divided into two sections: the rear section houses a tumble dryer and has a sliding door leading to a further storage area which has a fully boarded loft with a step access hatch.
