Gross Internal Area: 318.6 SQM / 3,430 SQFT (includes detached garage)

Forming part of the original rectory, once the residence of the Rector of St Mary's Church, The Old Rectory is a handsome and substantial home, rich in character and perfectly positioned in the heart of historic Woodbridge. The property retains many period features typical of the era, including high ceilings, attractive cornicing, and generously proportioned rooms throughout.

On the ground floor, the accommodation flows elegantly from the spacious entrance hall (7.87m x 3.00m / 25'10" x 9'10") into a magnificent drawing room (7.19m x 5.90m / 23'6" x 19'4" into bay), featuring a beautiful bay window and French doors that open directly onto the south-facing gardens. The kitchen (4.72m x 3.86m / 15'6" x 12'8") is fully fitted and includes a central island unit. It leads to a formal dining room (4.93m x 4.45m / 16'2" x 14'7"), which in turn accesses a boiler room.

The lower ground floor provides a useful cellar (3.53m x 2.57m / 11'7" x 8'5"), ideal for storage or wine.

The first floor is split into two levels. On the main landing (First Floor 1), the principal bedroom (7.26m x 5.03m / 23'10" x 16'6" max) enjoys views over the garden and has a private en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 (4.11m x 3.91m / 13'6" x 12'10" max) also benefits from an en-suite. A convenient storage area is found between the rooms.

First Floor 2 includes a sixth bedroom or office (3.25m x 3.05m / 10'8" x 10'0"), accessible via a secondary staircase, providing excellent flexibility as a private workspace or guest room.

The second floor features two additional well-proportioned bedrooms:

Bedroom 4 (4.95m x 3.63m / 16'3" x 11'11" max)
Bedroom 5 (4.67m x 2.82m / 15'4" x 9'3")
These are served by a family bathroom, while Bedroom 3 (3.23m x 3.15m / 10'7" x 10'4") has its own en-suite.
Externally, The Old Rectory is approached via a shared drive, leading to ample gravel parking and a detached double garage, divided into two units:

Garage 1: 5.41m x 2.46m (17'9" x 8'1")
Garage 2: 5.41m x 2.54m (17'9" x 8'4")

The gardens are a notable feature of the property. A south-facing Yorkshire stone terrace sits alongside a small knot garden and a wildlife pond, offering a pleasant spot to enjoy the outdoors. A patterned brick and shingle path leads through the garden to a generous lawn, which rises towards a private area of woodland with attractive views back to the house.

Mature oaks and beeches, along with a variety of fruit trees, provide year-round interest. A crinkle crankle wall adds character and a degree of privacy, while the layout offers several practical areas for outdoor use and entertaining.

Woodbridge is a thriving market town on the banks of the River Deben. With its medieval centre, excellent amenities, independent and state schooling options such as Woodbridge School and The Abbey, and strong transport links via the A12 and mainline rail to London, it offers an outstanding quality of life.
