Location

The property occupies a prime position just off the Market Hill, in the centre of the historic market town of Framlingham which is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle that is managed by English Heritage. This thriving town boasts 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 the 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 and Thomas Mills High School are both well regarded. There is also Framlingham College, which is served by its prep school at Brandeston Hall some 5 miles away. 

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 of 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 popular destinations such as 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

Developed by the previous owner approximately 20 years ago, Church Mews occupies an enviable, tucked-away position in the very centre of the historic market town of Framlingham, and with direct views of the impressive St Michael’s Church tower.  Located to the rear of the Sue Ryder premises, and accessed via an archway, a gate opens onto the very private and enclosed terraced garden.  

The property itself offers a very good amount of accommodation extending to approximately 954 sq ft (88.6 sqm) in all with a relatively spacious entrance hall, that connects well with the 19’  sitting/dining room with French doors opening onto the terraced garden.  There is also a well fitted kitchen and ground floor bathroom.   A wide staircase rises to the first floor landing,  which is sufficiently large enough to accommodate a small study area, and from here doors provide access to the two very generous double bedrooms, both of which benefit from vaulted ceilings, and a shower room.  

Outside there is a terraced garden with areas laid to paving and grass for ease of maintenance.  The garden is enclosed within high level brick walling and fence panels that create a very private area which enjoys direct views of St Michael’s Church tower.   Whilst there is no parking with the property, being located in the very centre of the town, all the services and facilities are within a short walk. 

Viewing Strictly by appointment with the agent.
