Location
The property is set along Chapel Lane in a delightfully quiet location on the outskirts of the village close to open countryside.  Wickham Market is a thriving community which offers a range of local businesses, shops including a Co-operative supermarket, restaurants, a health centre, library and primary school.  There are regular bus services to Woodbridge and on to Ipswich.  The village is also within the Thomas Mills High School catchment area for secondary schooling.  

Wickham Market lies about 12 miles to the north-east of the county town of Ipswich and just off the A12, providing dual carriageway driving to Woodbridge (approximately 4 miles), Ipswich, London and the south.  There is a railway station at nearby Campsea Ashe with trains to Ipswich and on to London, which take just over the hour.  Local tourist attractions, such as Easton Farm Park, Snape Maltings, Framlingham Castle and Sutton Hoo, are all within a 10 mile radius, as is the coast with popular destinations such as Aldeburgh.

Directions
Proceeding into Wickham Market from the south along the High Street (B1438), on entering the village turn right onto Chapel Lane just after the Co-operative supermarket.  Continue along Chapel Lane for approximately 400m, where the property will be found on the left hand side.

Description
Believed to originally date from the Victorian era, 36 Chapel Lane is a mid-terrace cottage close to open countryside on the south-eastern outskirts of Wickham Market.  In all, the accommodation extends to approximately 518 sq ft (48.1 sqm) and comprises a 15’ x 12’ sitting room with open fireplace and a 12’ kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor.  On the first floor there is a generous L-shaped 15’ bedroom together with a bathroom.  

Outside there is a pleasant courtyard area, that is slightly offset from the cottage, together with an extremely useful brick and pantile outbuilding, that extends to approximately 10’7’ x 10’1 and which could be converted to provide additional accommodation to the cottage, subject to the necessary consents.  To the rear of the outbuilding is a useful storage shed and an area of garden that contains some mature apple trees. 

The cottage, which would be an ideal purchase for a first time buyer, presents reasonably well, but is now somewhat dated by modern standards.  However, this provides an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to update the property in their own particular style and taste.
