Location

The property is well located for both the town centre and schools, in the popular market town of Framlingham, which is best known for its castle managed by English Heritage.  Framlingham is home to 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, Barclays Bank and a Co-operative supermarket.  Away from Market Hill are a number of other businesses 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 preparatory school, 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 the popular destinations of Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness and Orford all a short drive away.  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

Built by the well regarded local developer, Hopkins & Moore, in around 2012, 1 Tetley Close is an impressive four bedroom house that forms part of a small, private development of just five houses.    The accommodation is generous throughout and extends to approximately 1,778 sq ft in all.  There is a generous reception hall, a well proportioned sitting room with fireplace as well as a study and impressive, multi-functional open plan kitchen/dining/garden room to the rear.  On the first floor there is a master bedroom with en-suite shower room, three further bedrooms and family bathroom.  Outside there is a single garage and driveway, as well as a west facing rear garden that enjoys the sun during the latter part of the day and into the evenings.

 Management Company

There is a management company in place to deal with the maintenance and administration of the shared services, namely the pump serving the foul drainage system.  We understand the management company is administered by the owners within the development directly, and that the accounting period is from 1st January to 31st December each year.  We are informed that the proposed maintenance charge for 2023 is £190.  In addition there is a contribution towards a reserve fund for future repairs, etc.  For 2023 this will be £200.
