Location Whilst the property is deemed to be within the hamlet of Lower Hacheston, most would consider it to be situated just to the north of the large village of Wickham Market. It is in a highly convenient spot within walking distance of the village but also just off the A12. There is a bus stop a short walk from the property. Wickham Market offers a range of businesses, shops, including a Co-operative supermarket, restaurants, a health centre, library, Post Office and primary school. There are regular bus services to Woodbridge and onto Ipswich. The village is also within the Thomas Mills High School catchment area for secondary schooling. The village is ideally located between Woodbridge, Framlingham and the Suffolk Heritage Coast, with popular centres including Orford, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh, Walberswick and Southwold all being within easy reach. Woodbridge is within 7 miles and the county town of Ipswich lies approximately 15 miles to the south -west and offers frequent mainline railway services to London's Liverpool Street station. There is also a branch line railway station at Campsea Ashe, just over a mile to the south east, with services to Ipswich in the south and Lowestoft in the north.

Description The house was believed to have been constructed in the early 1930s and was originally two dwellings. It is believed to be of brick construction with rendered upper elevations under a tiled roof. A flat felt roof extension was added in the late 1950s and this now serves as an additional bedroom and utility room with WC. It was converted into a single detached house in the 1980s. Also on the ground floor is a kitchen, dining room, sitting room and study. On the first floor are three double bedrooms along with a spacious bathroom. The house has great scope to be extended, subject to the normal consents. The property has extremely pleasant gardens and grounds and overlooks fields. As well as ample off road parking , there is a studio/garage. This measures approximately 37' x 19' and whilst it is envisaged that some may choose to continue to use it as an excellent workshop/studio/garage, others may look to convert it to additional ancillary living accommodation, subject to the normal consents.
