Location Honeywell is located in the heart of the popular village of Earl Soham, which benefits from a well respected primary school, doctors' surgery, St Mary's Church, John Hutton's butchers/delicatessen, and a village pub - The Victoria. There are also tennis courts that are available for use by residents for a nominal charge. The popular market town of Framlingham is approximately three miles from the property and boasts a fine medieval castle and a good choice of schooling in both the state and private sectors. The town also benefits from an excellent variety of shops, including a Co-operative supermarket, public houses and restaurants. The popular coastal town of Aldeburgh and the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, home to the Aldeburgh Festival, are within easy reach, approximately half an hour's drive to the east. The A12, which lies just 8 miles to the south, provides a direct link to Woodbridge, the county town of Ipswich, and beyond to London, Cambridge and the Midlands (via the A14). Direct and branch line rail services run to London's Liverpool Street Station, via Ipswich from Campsea Ash, which is situated adjacent to Wickham Market.

Description Honeywell is a delightful three/four bedroom, extended, detached house which is believed to date back to the eighteenth century, but has been substantially extended in recent years to provide well appointed and spacious accommodation. The property has been well maintained and updated by the current vendors during their tenure. They have created a very comfortable family home, with great attention to detail having been given to décor and furnishings. The property benefits from outstanding views to the front towards St Mary's Church, and far reaching views over neighbouring farmland to the rear. Honeywell benefits from UPVC double-glazing throughout and oil-fired central heating.
