Location
Victoria Mill House will be found on Victoria Mill Road, just a short distance to the south of the centre of the town. Framlingham is probably best known for its fine Medieval Castle but also benefits from a good selection of independent shops and businesses including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency, nursery, vets and delicatessen.  It is also home to the Crown Hotel, a Co-operative supermarket and doctors’ surgery.   The town also benefits from  Sir Robert Hitcham’s CEVA Primary School & Nursery, Thomas Mills High School and Framlingham College.  

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 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.

Directions
From the Agent’s office, proceed along Station Road, turning right into Victoria Mill Road, just before the Station Public House. Continue along Victoria Mill Road, through the S-bend and the property will be found of the left hand side.

Description
Victoria Mill House was, as the name suggests, the mill house serving the mill in the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries.  The original core of the property is seemingly of timber framed construction, but over the years Victoria Mill House has been added to and extended to create a relatively substantial principal dwelling of over 2,500 sq ft in all. Whilst the property is perfectly serviceable, it is now a little dated by modern standards, which provides an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to add their own preferred style and taste during any planned refurbishment works. 

Victoria Mill House enjoys a delightful mature garden that extends to a third of an acre in all. Facing east and south, the gardens enjoy the sun throughout much of the day and comprises more formal areas with well stocked borders containing a variety of specimen flowers, shrubs and trees, together with an established orchard area. In addition there is a generous shingled driveway and a double garage.
