Location
The property is located in Bibbys Way, and forms part of Hopkins Homes’ Prospect Place development to the southern part of the market town of Framlingham.  Framlingham is perhaps best known for its fine medieval castle, but also benefits from a Co-op supermarket, a number of businesses, including shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants and a library.  The town has highly regarded primary and senior schools, as well as Framlingham College, all of which are within easy walking distance.  

Framlingham is only 12 miles from the coast as the crow flies with popular destinations such as 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.  There are lovely walks from Framlingham into the surrounding countryside and amenities 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).  

Directions
From the Agent’s office in Well Close Square, proceed in a southerly direction on to Station Road and head out of the town.   Turn right into Bibbys Way opposite the John Grose garage.  Follow the road to the end of the development, where Number 68 will be found.

Description
68 Bibbys Way in an impressive and spacious townhouse that was built in 2018 by the award winning local developer, Hopkins Homes.   The property forms part of a crescent of just six houses in all, and with number 68 being the largest, extending to over 1,850 sq ft.  

The accommodation is well presented internally, with the original vendors having chosen to upgrade many of the fixtures and fittings from when the property was first constructed including additional tiling in the kitchen, bathroom and en-suite, a stone style resin worksurface in the kitchen, branded Neff appliances, extra downlighters and an oversized patio.  The integral garage has been subdivided to create additional accommodation and whilst this currently provides a spare bedroom, it could also be utilised as a gym or playroom.  The up and over garage door is still in situ and this opens to provide access to a useful storage area for bikes, etc. 

The property also benefits from parking to the front together with a west facing rear garden that overlooks open farmland at the very rear.
