The Old Post Office is situated opposite a wildlife meadow which we have been advised will never be built on.

The popular market town of Woodbridge sits along the River Deben, with superb sailing and rowing facilities as well as excellent schooling in both the state and public sectors. Woodbridge itself has an array of local and national shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars.

For the commuter, the A12/A14 are both within easy reach, Woodbridge has a train station with a link to Ipswich, Suffolk's county town, where there is a mainline train station, with a direct link to London Liverpool Street.
