Summary
Entrance hall, sitting room, kitchenette and rear hall. First-floor bedroom with en-suite bathroom. On-street parking.

Location
47a Fore Street is just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Framlingham and well placed to benefit from all the amenities the town has to offer.  Framlingham is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle but also benefits from a good selection of independent shops and businesses including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, nursery, vets and delicatessen.  It is also home to the Crown Hotel, a Co-operative supermarket and doctors’ surgery.   The town also benefits from Sir Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School & Nursery; Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College.  

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.

Description
47a Fore Street is a charming one-bedroom period end-terrace cottage, retaining much of its original character and charm. Exposed ceiling and wall timbers, a brick-laid floor on the ground floor.  On the first floor the bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timbers and exposed timber flooring, from here there is access to the en-suite bathroom.

The cottage is simple and understated, which perfectly complements its period character. The accommodation benefits from secondary glazing, electric night storage heaters and gas-fired central heating.

An ideal bolt hole, the property would suit those looking to enjoy Framlingham on a semi-permanent basis, whether as a peaceful retreat or a convenient base from which to explore the town and surrounding Suffolk countryside.
