Framlingham Road

Location

The Lodge is nestled in a wonderful semi-rural location on the outskirts of the highly desirable village of Easton. Known for its rich history as the former center of the Duke of Hamilton's estate, Easton boasts a variety of charming features. Among these are an award-winning local pub, a picturesque church, and a distinctive crinkle-crankle wall. The village also offers a local cricket club, a primary school, a nursery, and the popular farm park for families to enjoy.

Just 2½ miles to the north lies the historic market town of Framlingham, renowned for its impressive Norman castle. Meanwhile, 3½ miles to the south, Wickham Market provides an abundant choice of local amenities, including numerous shops, sporting opportunities, and excellent schools. The surrounding Deben Valley is a designated special landscape area, home to some of the most unspoilt countryside in East Suffolk.

For convenient travel, the A12, which bypasses Wickham Market, offers easy access to the county’s dual carriageway and motorway network. Additionally, branch line rail services from nearby Campsea Ashe provide connections to London’s Liverpool Street Station via Ipswich. The riverside town of Woodbridge is just 9 miles away, and the county town of Ipswich is 14 miles, offering further opportunities for exploration and leisure.

The Lodge

The Lodge is part of Stud Farm, a collection of traditional Victorian barns that have been transformed into individual residences over the past two decades. As one of the final barns to undergo conversion, The Lodge was completed in 2018.

The Lodge offers an abundance of space and natural light, with most of its layout conveniently situated on the ground floor. The property boasts an impressive entrance and dining hall that seamlessly connect to the kitchen, sitting room, and study, creating a harmonious living area.

From the entrance and dining hall, a corridor leads to a spacious double bedroom, a bathroom, and an open-plan office area, which could be divided to create an additional bedroom if desired. There is also a utility room on this level for added convenience.

Upstairs, the first floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom suite. This includes a large double bedroom, a dressing room that can also serve as a second bedroom, and a bathroom, providing a private and luxurious retreat.

The Lodge is situated at the end of a shared private driveway, marked by an opening in a low-level brick wall.

Upon entering the property, you'll find a generous driveway leading to the front of The Lodge. A paved pathway guides you to the front door, opening into the entrance/dining hall. This pathway continues to a patio area, accessible from both the sitting room and the study through French doors.

A wide, paved walkway leads to the rear of the property. Facing west, this area is bathed in sunlight during the afternoon, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. This makes it a perfect spot for relaxation and enjoying the natural scenery.
