The Old Rectory, 100a Seckford Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk
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 superbly positioned in the heart of historic Woodbridge. While the property retains many period features typical of the era-including high ceilings, attractive cornicing and generously proportioned rooms-it would now benefit from a degree of renovation and modernisation, offering an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to enhance and personalise a fine period home.

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

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

The first floor is arranged over two levels. From the main landing, the principal bedroom (7.26m x 5.03m / 23'10" x 16'6" max) enjoys views over the garden and benefits from a private en-suite shower room. Bedroom two (4.11m x 3.91m / 13'6" x 12'10" max) also features an en-suite, with a practical storage area located between the rooms.

A secondary staircase leads to a sixth bedroom or study (3.25m x 3.05m / 10'8" x 10'0"), offering excellent flexibility as a home office or guest accommodation.

The second floor provides three further well-proportioned bedrooms:
Bedroom four (4.95m x 3.63m / 16'3" x 11'11" max)
Bedroom five (4.67m x 2.82m / 15'4" x 9'3")
These are served by a family bathroom, while bedroom three (3.23m x 3.15m / 10'7" x 10'4") benefits from its own en-suite.

Externally, the property is approached via a shared driveway 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 and are private in nature. A south-facing paved terrace sits alongside a small knot garden and wildlife pond, providing an attractive space for outdoor dining and relaxation. A patterned brick and shingle pathway leads through the garden to a generous lawn rising towards a secluded area of woodland, with attractive views back towards the house.

Mature oak and beech trees, together with a variety of fruit trees, provide year-round interest. A characterful crinkle-crankle wall enhances privacy and visual appeal, while the overall layout offers several practical areas for outdoor use and entertaining.

Woodbridge is a thriving market town set on the banks of the River Deben, offering a historic centre, excellent amenities, well-regarded schooling options, and strong transport links via the A12 and mainline rail services to London-making it a highly desirable place to live.
