Location

Corner Cottage is located on the outskirts of the town, but just minutes from the centre of Framlingham.  Nearby are the doctors surgery, Sir Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School & Nursery, Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College.  There is a good selection of independent shops and businesses within the town including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, nursery, vets and delicatessen.  Framlingham is also home to the Crown Hotel, Barclays Bank and a Co-operative supermarket.  In recent years Framlingham has often featured as the number one place to live in the country and is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle.

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 amenities such as golf in nearby locations such as Cretingham (6 miles), Woodbridge (12 miles) and Aldeburgh (13 miles).  The world famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall is nearby (10½ miles), and 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 easy access to 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, scheduled to take just over an hour.

Directions

From the agent’s office in Well Close Square, head up College Road and take the second turning on the left onto Mount Pleasant.  Continue along this road until you reach the high school on the right hand side.  The property can be found on the left, opposite the high school, adjacent to the junction with New Street.  For those using the What3Words app: ///spray.much.unleashed

Description

Corner Cottage is a charming, three/four bedroom, detached period cottage that is set amongst enclosed gardens, with ample off-road parking for four to six vehicles.  Internally, the property has undergone some renovation works, including replacing the kitchen and two bathrooms, installing a new private drainage system and solar panels, reconfiguring the upstairs, replacing the windows and installing the wood burning stove.  The garden has been landscaped and is mainly laid to lawn, with a gravelled driveway that is accessed from the road via electronic double-opening gates.  Here there is also a large timber workshop with double opening doors and power and light throughout, along with further storage for garden machinery and bins.  The veranda has been erected to the front of the property, under which are storage benches for boots and garden toys, which also house the gas meter.  

The accommodation is well laid out and comprises an entrance hall (that also doubles as a fully functioning utility room), kitchen, dining room with French doors opening out to the garden, sitting room, family room/occasional bedroom four, downstairs shower room.  The entrance hall/utility room, kitchen and shower room all benefit from underfloor heating.  On the first floor is a family bathroom and three good-sized bedrooms, with an ample amount of storage in the eaves.  On the roof of the extension are solar panels, which benefit from a feed-in tariff.  The property works well as a family home, being in close proximity to the schools.
