Location

Peppers Wash Cottage is located off Saxtead Road, on the outskirts of the town.  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 providing day-to-day services including pubs, vets, a medical centre and schools.  Sir Robert Hitcham's Primary School is highly regarded and Thomas Mills High School is considered one of the best state schools in the East of England.  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 the town into the surrounding countryside, and leisure facilities 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.  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 in Well Close Square, proceed along College Road, taking the second turning on the left onto the B1119 towards Earl Soham and the high school.  Having passed Thomas Mill High School, take the turning immediately on the right.  Proceed along this road, passing Charnwood Milling and Lilly Cottage.  The drive for Peppers Wash is a little further along on the right hand side.

Description

Peppers Wash Cottage has redbrick elevations under a pitched tiled roof and is believed to date from the mid 1800s.  This pretty dwelling sits in established gardens that are approximately 170 feet long and abut farmland to the rear.  A schedule of refurbishment has been carried out by the current vendors during their tenure, with care being taken to retain period features, such as the original copper in the kitchen.  As such, the property is offered in good order throughout, with the kitchen and bathroom having been replaced in 2017.  There is a pedestrian access via the neighbouring cottage, Lily Bank, to Peppers Wash Cottage.  The property is primarily double-glazed throughout and benefits from oil-fired central heating.
