Location

2 Briscoe Way is located on the edge of the town of Framlingham, close to the doctors surgery and Thomas Mills High School.  Framlingham College and Sir Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School & Nursery are also nearby.  Within the town is a good selection of independent shops and businesses, including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, nursery, vets and delicatessen. Framlingham is also home to the Crown Hotel 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 (5 miles), Woodbridge (12 miles) and Aldeburgh (15 miles).  The world famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall is nearby (11 miles), and there is also bird watching at the RSPB centre at Minsmere (16 miles).  The property is only miles from the coast, 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, which are scheduled to take just over an hour.

Directions

From the agent’s office in Well Close Square, proceed along College Road, heading up the hill, and take the second turning on the left hand side onto Mount Pleasant.  Continue along this road for just over half a mile and take the left hand turning opposite Thomas Mills High School onto Briscoe Way.  The property can be found immediately on the right hand side.  For those using the What3Words app: ///yield.galleries.nipped
