The historic market town of Framlingham, with its medieval castle, lies approximately 7½ miles to the east, and offers further excellent schooling in both the state and private sectors. The county town of Ipswich (14 miles) and Stowmarket (10 miles) both offer more extensive facilities including mainline railway stations, with regular services to London's Liverpool Street scheduled to take approximately 65 minutes and 85 minutes respectively.  Suffolk’s Heritage Coast, with towns such as Aldeburgh and Southwold, is approximately 24 miles.  The A14 trunk road provides access in a westerly direction towards Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and the Midlands.  Norwich is approximately 25 miles to the north as the crow flies.

Directions

Heading into Debenham on the B1077 from the direction of Framlingham (south), proceed along Debenham High Street, passing Cherry Tree Vets on the left.  Bear round to the right and the property can be found immediately on the right, almost opposite the turning onto Low Road.  For those using the What3Words app: ///horseshoe.zeal.rapid.

Description

71 High Street is a handsome, two-bedroom Victorian cottage that was built circa 1860, with a pretty brick frontage and rendered and colour washed elevations under a pitched tiled roof.  The current vendor has lovingly restored and maintained this immaculately presented cottage.  It has well laid out accommodation comprising entrance hall/study area, kitchen/dining room, sitting room with wood burning stove, two double bedrooms on the first floor, and a well appointed family bathroom.  To the rear of the property is a cottage-style garden with a terraced area and a further seating area which benefits from stunning rural views over the water meadows.  The property has no onward chain and is ready for immediate occupation.

Please note that, whilst the cottage sits in Flood Zone 2, the water meadows are located in Flood Zone 1.  The vendor has, however, confirmed that the cottage currently holds full insurance.
