This charming three-bedroom property in Woodbridge, Suffolk, is a homely retreat and an ideal base for a small family wanting to explore the Suffolk countryside whilst also remaining close to amenities. Woodbridge is a handsome riverside market town packed full of independent shops, historical buildings, restaurants, and bars. The River Deben runs alongside it and is a great river for sailing and paddle sports. The town also boasts an indoor swimming pool, riverside cinema and theatre while walkers can enjoy a 1.5-mile walk along the Cow Path to Kyson Point. For a day at the beach, head 9 miles from the property to Shingle Street. Here, you can splash in the water and even spot seals on the shingle.
Originally a shipwright’s cottage, the property has been restored with care and attention but still retains much of its old-world charm. Inside, the decor is light and airy with whitewashed walls, terracotta tiled flooring, and wooden beams sweeping through the lounge and dining area. In the lounge, there are two plump sofas where you can relax with the family and enjoy a film on the TV. There’s also an open fireplace to keep things warm on cooler nights. A dining table seating five people overlooks the lounge and leads through to an attractive bespoke kitchen full of granite-topped counters and high-quality fittings. A white-tiled bathroom is also on this floor. From the ground floor, steep stairs lead up to the first floor where the three bedrooms are located. Featuring two double beds and a bunk bed, the rooms are accessed by a single step up and are a good size with wood-panelled flooring, neutral tones, and fuss-free furnishings that create a relaxed ambience. They all share a separate shower room.
Outside, the garden is dotted with furniture. Here, you can take it easy on the lawn, read a book in the shade or linger over a meal at the outdoor table while the children play.
