Location
6 Kings Hill is situated in a lovely position between the villages of Earl Soham and Brandeston. The property enjoys wonderful views to the rear over meadowland and undulating farmland. The village was originally an Earldom associated with the Duke of Norfolk and is located 3 miles from the market town of Framlingham, and approximately a 35 minute drive from the coastal resorts of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness. The village church was built in the 13th century.
The village itself has retained a lot of its charm due to its history and most of the houses and buildings being listed in the 1960s. It has won Britain’s ‘Best Kept Village’ and was a finalist in Country Life’s ‘Best British Village’. In addition to the church is an active village hall, tennis club, bowls club, country pub and Mr Hutton’s butchers store (noted in Country Life as a treasure). There is also a doctors surgery, veterinary practice and primary school. Within a couple of miles is Kingfishers, which is Cretingham’s golf club. Framlingham, with all it has to offer, including Thomas Mills High School, is 4.5 miles away.
The county town of Ipswich lies some 14 miles to the south and provides regular mainline rail services to London’s Liverpool Street Station, taking just over an hour. The A14 is accessible some 12 miles to the west and provides a dual carriageway link to Cambridge and the Midlands, as well as to London via the A12.

6 Kings Hill is a Grade II listed mid-terraced cottage. It is of brick and timber-framed construction with part rendered elevations under a tiled roof.

As well as the sitting room, there is a good-sized dining room and kitchen. Off the dining room is a lean-to greenhouse/conservatory. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, along with a bathroom. There are front and rear gardens, as well as a designated parking space and visitor spaces.

NOTES
1. Every care has been taken with the preparation of these particulars, but complete accuracy cannot be guaranteed. If there is any point, which is of particular importance to you, please obtain professional confirmation. Alternatively, we will be pleased to check the information for you. These Particulars do not constitute a contract or part of a contract. All measurements quoted are approximate. The Fixtures, Fittings & Appliances have not been tested and therefore no guarantee can be given that they are in working order. Photographs are reproduced for general information and it cannot be inferred that any item shown is included. No guarantee can be given that any planning permission or listed building consent or building regulations have been applied for or approved. The agents have not been made aware of any covenants or restrictions that may impact the property, unless stated otherwise. Any site plans used in the particulars are indicative only and buyers should rely on the Land Registry/transfer plan.
2. The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 require all Estate Agents to obtain sellers’ and buyers’ identity.
3. In the unlikely situation of our client considering an offer prior to auction, a premium price would have to be put forward and the purchaser would be required to sign the contract and put down a 10% deposit and pay the Buyers Administration Charge, well in advance of the auction date. An offer will not be considered unless a potential buyer has read the legal pack and is in a position to immediately sign the contract. The seller is under no obligation to accept such an offer. It should be noted that Clarke and Simpson cannot keep all interested parties updated and at times will be instructed to accept an offer and exchange contracts without going back to any other parties first.
4. Additional fees: Buyers Administration Charge - £900 including VAT (see Buying Guide). Disbursements - please see the Legal Pack for any disbursements listed that may become payable by the purchaser upon completion.
5. The guide price is an indication of the sellers minimum expectations. This is not necessarily the figure that the property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. The property will be offered subject to a reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we will expect to be set within the guide range of no more than 10% above a single figure guide.
6. The T marks on the plan within the sale particulars indicate which property is responsible for the boundary feature. Please note that should a buyer wish to replace their fencing, it can be no more than 0.9m in height.
7. 6 Kings Hill cannot be used for holiday lets. For the avoidance of doubt, longer term lets under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy are permitted, and a tenant is in residence.
8. The visitor’s parking spaces are marked orange on the plan within the particulars and are available on a first come first served basis.
9. There is a management company in place for the management of the communal areas and the gas compound/supply.
10. There is currently a gap in the rear fence with the tenant of Number 6 passing through the garden of Number 5. This is an informal
arrangement and, upon sale, there will be no access through Number 5. The tenant currently uses a shed located within the grounds of Number 8 and, again, upon sale there will be no right to continue this.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
