Location
Walnut Cottage will be found on the edge of Framlingham, but just a short distance from the primary and secondary schools and town centre.  Framlingham has 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. It 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. 
 
Description
Walnut Cottage comprises a delightful timber framed period cottage, that has been extended over the years and now offers practical, light and spacious accommodation in a quiet position on the edge of the town.  The accommodation extends to over 1,400 sq. ft in all and comprises an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, well fitted kitchen, snug, study/bedroom 4 and Jack and Jill cloak/shower room on the ground floor.  On the first floor there are three double bedrooms together with a generous and recently refurbished bath/shower room.  Walnut Cottage stands centrally within its plot, and is surrounded by its gardens.  Vehicular access is via a shared driveway to the rear that leads to an area of hardstanding sufficiently large enough for two vehicles.

Outside
Walnut Cottage fronts on to New Street just off Saxtead Road, and a short distance from the secondary school and town centre.  The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn, and enclosed within 6’ close boarded fence that provides a good degree of privacy.  There is also a personnel gate on to New Street for pedestrian access.
 
Beside the cottage is an area of shingle that includes a raised play area laid to bark chippings.  Vehicular access is to the rear and the adjacent new development.  A wide opening in the fence provides access to a hardstanding parking area that is sufficiently large enough for two vehicles.  Immediately adjoining the rear of Walnut Cottage is a concrete patio area, that can be directly accessed from the Dining Room and Kitchen.  The remainder of the garden is laid to grass for ease of maintenance.  There is also a useful timber framed storage shed.
