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, Barclays Bank, 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.

Directions From the Agent's office proceed west out of the town on College Road. Take the second left turning (B1119). Opposite the Thomas Mills High School on the Saxtead Road a new road has been constructed that provides access to the cottage. For those using the What3Words app: ///figeted.items.atlas
