Location

The property forms part of the popular Churchill Crescent development, which is located a short walk from the Market Hill and centre of this popular village. Wickham Market benefits from a useful range of shops including a Co-op supermarket, together with a Health Centre, library and primary school. There is a railway station at Campsea Ashe (about 2 miles away) with connections via Ipswich to London’s Liverpool Street station.   

The historic town of Framlingham is approximately six miles away and the attractive market town of Woodbridge five miles to the south-west.  The County town of Ipswich lies about nine miles to the south.  The A12 is within a mile and provides good links to the rest of the region including the Heritage coastline, which itself is within nine miles. 

Description

8 Churchill Crescent comprises a detached three bedroom bungalow of brick construction under a tiled roof that we understand was built in the late 1950s/early 1960s.  Whilst the property benefits from UPVC double glazing and a mains gas connection it now warrants complete renovation and refurbishment, as well as possibly remodelling and extending the accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.  The accommodation currently comprises an entrance hall, twin aspect sitting room with fireplace housing a multi-fuel burning stove, kitchen/breakfast room, inner hall, two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and bathroom.  

Outside there is a driveway and single garage that is linked with the property via a covered walkway and wooden lean-to at the rear.  There are good size gardens to the front and rear, with the south facing rear garden enjoying the sun throughout the day.
