Location
The property forms part of the established and popular Yew Tree Rise development, and occupies a quiet corner plot within Fir Close.  Fir Close is an established residential area a short distance to the north of the centre of the village. This thriving community offers a range of local businesses and shops, including a Co-operative supermarket, an award-winning butchers, Revetts, restaurants, a health centre, library and primary school. There are regular bus services to Woodbridge and on to Ipswich. The village is also within the Thomas Mills High School catchment area for secondary schooling. Wickham Market lies about 12 miles to the north-east of the county town of Ipswich and just off the A12, providing dual carriageway driving to Woodbridge (approximately 4 miles), Ipswich, London and the south. There is a railway station at nearby Campsea Ashe with trains to Ipswich and on to London which take just over the hour. Local tourist attractions, such as Easton Farm Park, Snape Maltings, Framlingham Castle and Sutton Hoo, are all within a 10 mile radius; as is the coast with popular destinations such as Aldeburgh, Southwold and Walberswick. 

Directions
From Framlingham, take the B1116 south to Wickham Market, passing through the villages of Parham and Hacheston. At the roundabout with the B1078, just before the A12, turn right where signposted to Wickham Market itself. Enter the village and proceed up the High Street. Half way up, turn left into Yew Tree Rise and then right into Fir Close.  Number 5 will be found on the left hand side set slightly back.

Description
The property forms part of the popular and established Yew Tree Rise development and benefits from a corner plot within Fir Close.  Built during the late 1980s, the development comprises a number of principal village houses located just a short distance from the centre of Wickham Market.  5 Fir Close offers a very good amount of accommodation that extends to just over 2,000 square feet in all.  In 2001 planning permission was granted to create an impressive 21’ Garden Room on the rear elevation, which acts as an additional reception room and one that enjoys looking out over the west facing rear garden.  

Over the years the property has been maintained to a good standard and more recently the boiler has been changed and the en-suite shower room, bathroom and kitchen have been replaced.  However, the décor is now becoming a little dated by modern standards, which allows an incoming purchaser to place their own preferred style and tastes upon the property.  

Outside there is a generous block paved driveway together with an attached double garage.  The rear garden includes a well stocked perimeter border, and facing due west, enjoys the sun during the second half of the day and into the evening.
