Three further double bedrooms, family bathroom and useful landing space. Fully enclosed rear garden and double garage. 

Location The Old Post Office is located in the centre of the village of Little Glemham. The village has a popular local pub, The Lion Inn, as well as a fine Grade I listed church, St Andrew's. Nearby Glemham Hall, once the home of Sir Thomas Glemham, holds a variety of events throughout the year. The neighbouring village of Marlesford is home to an excellent farm shop and café, and the larger village of Wickham Market, just three miles away, has a variety of day-to-day shops and services, such as a Co-op Supermarket, primary school and health centre. The market town of Saxmundham is five miles away and has Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets.

The nearest railway station is three miles away at Campsea Ashe and this has direct train services to Ipswich, with connecting services to London, Norwich and Cambridge.

Suffolk's Heritage Coast is nine miles away at Orford, with its medieval castle and nature reserve, and Aldeburgh, with its beach, sailing, fine restaurants and golf course. The world famous concert hall at Snape is also just four miles away. The county town of Ipswich is 16 miles to the south. 

Description The Old Post Office is a Grade II listed detached Georgian house of redbrick construction with part rendered and colour washed elevations under a tiled roof. Part of the dwelling was formerly the village post office and the property boasts a wealth of character and period features, including exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces. The accommodation downstairs is spacious and flexible, with a large kitchen containing double doors that lead into a breakfast room which flows through an opening into the sitting room. A further opening from the kitchen leads into the dining room, from where a door leads into the part of the property that was formerly the post office. This is now an impressive living room which leads on to a useful hobbies room. On the first floor, the property has a good-sized principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room and eaves storage cupboard. The further three double bedrooms are all of good proportions with storage, and there is a large landing area that could be used as a study or reading area. To the rear of the property is a handy covered porch and gardener's WC, a double garage and a fully enclosed private garden with terrace.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 17, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on January 28, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
