5 St. Michaels Close is a characterful first- and second-floor apartment set quietly behind the church in the very heart of Framlingham, offering a peaceful hideaway while remaining wonderfully close to the town’s lively high street.
Housed within a beautifully converted rectory, this inviting home blends period charm with contemporary touches, and enjoys lovely views across the church and courtyard, giving it a real sense of place.
Accessed via a shared entrance hall, the apartment opens into a welcoming hallway that leads you through the main living spaces.
The lounge is full of personality, with a feature fireplace and striking ceiling details that create an appealing spot to settle in after a day out.
Nearby, the well-equipped kitchen is both practical and sociable, complete with a charming dining nook where you can linger over breakfast or enjoy relaxed evening meals.
A family bathroom and separate cloakroom serve this level, along with a small study, offering a handy quiet corner or workspace.
The sleeping accommodation is arranged across two floors, adding to the home’s unique character.
On the first floor you’ll find a generous king-size bedroom, while two further double bedrooms are reached via their own steep staircases, creating cosy, private spaces that feel tucked away from the rest of the home.
Outside, there are two lovely areas to enjoy the fresh air.
A front garden, soon to be made more private, offers a pleasant spot to sit and unwind, while the rear courtyard looks out towards the church and provides a peaceful setting for morning coffee or an evening drink.
Off-road parking is available for one car, with the potential for an additional space.
Framlingham itself is a joy to explore, with independent shops, welcoming pubs, and inviting restaurants all close at hand.
The impressive Framlingham Castle and the tranquil Mere nature reserve offer memorable days out, while Saxtead Mill provides a glimpse into Suffolk’s rural heritage.
Woodbridge beckons with riverside walks along the Deben, the fascinating Tide Mill Museum, and the historic site of Sutton Hoo.
Ipswich adds further variety, with the green open spaces of Christchurch Park, a vibrant waterfront filled with eateries, and the Ipswich Museum for a cultural escape.
Whether you’re visiting for history, countryside walks, or simply to soak up the atmosphere of this special market town, 5 St. Michaels Close offers a welcoming and distinctive base for discovering the best of Suffolk.
