Location

46 Fairfield Crescent is located just a short distance from the amenities 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.  In recent years, Framlingham was voted the number one place to live in the country and is perhaps best known for its magnificent castle which is managed by English Heritage.  In 2017, Framlingham was included within the top four places in the country to live by the Sunday Times.

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 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 the hour.

Description

Built in 1967, 46 Fairfield Crescent is a semi-detached former local authority house of timber-framed construction with brick elevations, under a pitched tiled roof.  The property is located in a corner position within a popular residential area of similar style dwellings.  Parking is on-road and shared with the neighbouring houses.  The position of Number 46 means it has a larger than normal garden, which has been well maintained.  

The accommodation comprises entrance hall, cloakroom, dining room, sitting room with large picture window and door to rear garden, kitchen, three first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom.  The property benefits from UPVC double-glazing and gas-fired central heating, but does require a schedule of refurbishment throughout.
