Location
The property is located in a particularly lovely position along Brook Lane.  It has the great advantage of being in a semi-rural location with field views to the front, but is just on the edge of the town and within walking distance of all Framlingham has to offer.  

The thriving town 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 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 preparatory school at  Brandeston some 5 miles away.  Framlingham has previously been 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.  

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 Woodbridge (12 miles) and Aldeburgh (13 miles). The world famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall is within easy reach (10.5miles).  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 in Well Close Square, proceed along Station Road and turn right, opposite the Railway Inn onto Brook Lane.  Continue on Brook Lane as if going out of the town whereupon Fromus Lodge will be found on the right hand side.

Description
Fromus Lodge is a single storey dwelling of over 2,200 sq. ft.  It is believed the dwelling dates from the late 1980s with brick elevations under a tiled roof.  A door to the front provides access to the hallway.  Off this are the reception rooms, bedrooms and bathroom.  The drawing room is a particularly spacious room with large bay windows to the front and French doors opening up to the driveway and garden.  Double doors lead to the open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room.  This triple aspect space has windows to the north, south and east as well as bi-fold doors opening onto the rear patio and garden.  The kitchen is fitted with an exceptional range of high and low-level wall cupboards and drawers. There is an integrated Miele coffee machine, combination oven, conventional oven, steam oven and warming drawer.  In addition is a Siemens integrated dishwasher, wine fridge and a Miele fridge freezer.  Within the large island there is an induction hob.  A double sink benefits from a Quooker boiling tap.  Throughout the room is solid bamboo flooring and there are spotlights in the kitchen area.  Off this is a utility room which has high and low-level wall units, space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer, an oil-fired boiler, worksurface and stainless steel sink.  Here there is also space for a further fridge freezer.  A partially glazed door leads to the rear patio and garden.

From the open-plan kitchen/sitting/dining room, double doors lead back to the hallway which has a large built-in airing cupboard with hot water cylinder and slatted shelving, and doors to the four bedrooms.  The principal bedroom is a large double with a bay window to the south facing front of the dwelling.  There are built-in wardrobes with hanging rails and shelving, and a door to a stylish en-suite shower room comprising WC, bidet, handwash basin and shower unit.  This has a window with obscured glazing to the front of the property.  Bedroom two is again a good size double room with window to the front and built-in wardrobe with hanging rails and shelving.  The modern bathroom which is particularly spacious, has a bath, WC, bidet, handwash basin and window to the rear.  Bedroom three overlooks the rear garden and has two wall to wall built-in wardrobes with hanging rails and shelving.  The fourth bedroom, which some may choose to use as a study, is a double, with window to the rear of the property. This has an adjoining dressing room that could be used as a study area or storeroom.  

Outside
The property is approached off Brook Lane via a shingled drive which leads to tarmac and brick paved parking.  There is a garden to the front which is laid to lawn and also a brick built garage with large up and over door to the front and personnel door and window to one side.  This measures approximately 20’ x 16’2.  The rear garden can be accessed via either side of the property.  This has a substantial patio area with raised beds and steps leading up to the lawn.  The rear garden contains trees and shrubs and is fully enclosed by fencing and hedging.  There is also a garden shed.  In total, the grounds extend to approximately 0.55 acres.
