Woodbridge also benefits from rail links to Ipswich, where Inter City rail services to London’s Liverpool Street station take just over the hour. 

The popular Heritage Coastline destinations of Orford and Aldeburgh are approximately 10 miles and 15 miles respectively. The County Town of Ipswich is approximately 10 miles to the south-west.  The A12 trunk road, which links the north and the south of the county, is also a short distance to the west. 

Directions

From the Thoroughfare in the centre of Woodbridge, proceed in a north-easterly direction passing the Red Lion pub and continue straight over the crossroads. Take the first turning on your left into Sun Lane, continue past the builders merchants and the property will be found a short way along on the left hand side.

Description

This charming detached period cottage is believed to date from the second half of the 19th Century, and occupies a delightful setting in an established residential area, just a few minutes walk from the centre of Woodbridge.  

In recent years the property has been tenanted, but has been maintained to a good standard during that time.  Since the property has become vacant the owner has redecorated most of the property internally and externally, and a new set of gates have been fitted.  A new gas fired combination boiler was also fitted in recent years.  

The accommodation is extremely light with a 17’ twin aspect sitting room that overlooks Sun Lane and Gladstone Road, together with a spacious kitchen/dining room with French doors that open onto the parking area and courtyard garden.  On the first floor there is a double bedroom, single bedroom and generous bathroom. 

Beside the property a pair of substantial side hung wooden gates open onto a block paved parking area and courtyard garden, approximately 24’ x 15’6 (7.3m x 4.7m).  This area includes a retained border, containing a maturing sycamore tree and established shrubs together with a pamment tile seating area and brick pathway to the rear.  The rear boundary comprises a 6’ featherboard fence, that provides a good degree of privacy and screening from the neighbouring property.

Viewing Strictly by appointment with the agent.  

Services  Mains water, electricity, gas and drainage connected.  Gas fired combination boiler serving the hot water and central heating systems.
