The town offers a good selection of independent shops and businesses within the town including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, nursery, vets, a delicatessen, The Crown Hotel, Barclays Bank and a Co-operative supermarket.

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.

Description
64 Victoria Mill Road occupies an enviable edge of town location, and just a short distance from all the services and facilities on offer in the town centre, yet enjoying a semi-rural location adjacent to open agricultural land. We understand that the bungalow was built in the mid 2000s by the well regarded local developer, Elmore Homes Limited, who also developed the adjoining properties.
The property presents well throughout, and benefits from a new boiler that was installed in 2020. It does, however, provide scope for an incoming purchaser to update the property to their own specific style and taste in areas. The property also benefits from the Garden Room that was added about 15 years ago. This provides a fantastic additional reception room to the property and being almost fully glazed enjoys good views of the garden.
Outside there is a single garage with remote operated up and over door and boarded loft providing additional storage space. There are also well stocked mature gardens to the front, side and rear that contain a variety of established specimen flowers, shrubs and trees.
