Ufford Place, Woodbridge

Step through the front door and immediately notice the care and attention that has gone into this home. The entrance hall is spacious and practical, offering a welcoming first impression. An inner porch and two double fitted cupboards provide excellent storage for everyday essentials, keeping the space neat and organised from the moment you arrive.

The property is elevated above an integrated double garage, currently used for storage and a home gym space, but could be easily adapted into a games room, hobby space, or workshop. An internal staircase provides direct access to the main house, offering a convenient second entry - perfect for stepping inside from the garage without getting caught in the rain.

Step Inside
Over the past two years the current owners have carefully upgraded the property, creating a stylish home finished with superb attention to detail and quality fixtures and fittings throughout. The improvements carried out are extensive - far more than can easily be listed - with the installation of a new kitchen, replacement internal doors and handles, new carpets and radiators, along with upgrades to the plumbing and electrics forming just some of the many enhancements made. The result is an exquisitely finished interior, thoughtfully designed and fully equipped for modern living.

Room With A View
The main reception room combines sitting and dining areas in a space that feels both welcoming and comfortably proportioned. A multi-fuel burner takes centre stage in the room, creating a cosy focal point and offering warmth and atmosphere when the evenings are cooler. A terrace at the front of the room takes full advantage of the elevated position, offering a peaceful spot to relax and take in the extensive views across Lower Ufford and the water meadows. The current owner describes it as the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine on a warm, summer evening.

Adjoining the main living area is a generously proportioned reception room, created as part of a 2014/15 extension to the property. Bright and versatile, the triple-aspect space features windows on two sides and French doors to the rear, filling the room with natural light and providing access to a small patio area and the charming garden beyond. Currently used as an informal sitting area, it could easily serve as a fourth bedroom, dining room, study, or family room to suit a new owner's needs. Stylish shutters have been added to the front window, enhancing the privacy and character.

The Howdens kitchen has been carefully designed and upgraded to combine style, practicality and quality. Finished in a calming "Soft Pebble" tone, the wooden cabinetry provides an abundance of storage and is complemented by sleek composite quartz worktops with matching upstands, creating a seamless, elevated finish. Porcelain slate effect floor tiles complete the look, offering a durable and elegant foundation. Attention to detail is evident throughout, with high-quality fixtures and fittings, hidden sockets and discreet internal drawers keeping worktops clear and clutter-free. Carefully chosen handles and fittings add subtle character, while a double larder cupboard provides exceptional storage - a feature the current owner particularly values. Integrated appliances include an oven, Klarstein induction hob, dishwasher and washing machine, while a Domextra water softener and filtered tap water ensure everyday convenience. The kitchen also enjoys lovely views over the garden, making it a bright and welcoming space for cooking, entertaining, or simply relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. The overall result is a kitchen that feels both stylish and supremely functional, ready to meet the demands of modern family life.

Throughout the interior, additional finishing touches continue to reveal themselves - stylish replacement radiators, plantation shutters in the extension room and front bedroom and an overall sense of cohesion that comes from thoughtful updating rather than rushed renovation. Everything feels calm, comfortable and ready to enjoy.

Bed, Bath And Beyond
The principal bedroom is generous and enjoys a peaceful view of the front garden. Plantation shutters provide privacy while softly filtering the light and a newly added walk-in wardrobe offers excellent storage. A handcrafted bespoke solid oak archway and doors lead seamlessly from the bedroom into the striking ensuite shower room.

The ensuite has been completely transformed by the current owners, with the previous suite replaced by a contemporary design centred around a large 1100mm square shower tray. The drench shower, finished with both overhead and handheld fittings, is set against striking Italian wall and floor tiles, giving the space a refined, spa-like feel. Adding an innovative twist, the shower is a Mira smart system that can be controlled from your smartphone, so the water can be warming before you even reach the room!

The remaining two bedrooms are equally well presented, with the third currently used as a study. The main bathroom combines character and style and features an original 1930s bath, carefully re-enamelled for modern use. A sleek Mira shower adds everyday convenience, while Italian tiles create a refined, sophisticated finish.

Step Outside
The outside space is just as immaculately curated as the interior. The plot extends to just over a quarter of an acre (STMS), providing generous, mature gardens that wrap around the property and create a wonderful sense of openness.

Being elevated above the surrounding area allows the property to enjoy far-reaching views from the front terrace. The rear garden faces west, ensuring it enjoys plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine. Mature planting adds colour and structure throughout the seasons, while a row of established espalier fruit trees (apple and pear) provides interest and productivity. The garden is also home to raspberry bushes, a peach tree and a variety of shrubs and flowering plants.

As the owner explains, "the garden really comes to life when everything is in bloom and the beds are bursting with colour." Beyond the garden boundary, parish council-owned woodland provides a peaceful, natural backdrop, keeping the setting wonderfully green and tranquil. The woodland also offers abundant opportunities for walks, wildlife spotting and outdoor enjoyment. Just beyond lies the local golf course, with a circular route of approximately five kilometres looping around it - ideal for runners, dog walkers, or anyone looking to enjoy the fresh Suffolk air.

About The Area
Surrounded by beautiful countryside yet within easy reach of nearby towns, Ufford offers a relaxed pace of life alongside a genuine sense of community. Two excellent village pubs sit within comfortable walking distance of the property - ideal for a relaxed evening drink or a spontaneous Sunday lunch. There are numerous walking routes through the surrounding countryside, many of which pass through water meadows, open countryside and neighbouring villages. For anyone who enjoys outdoor living, the location is particularly rewarding. The history of the area adds another layer of interest. This part of the village once formed part of a much larger country estate. The original house, long since demolished, was even commandeered by American forces during the Second World War. Today the legacy of that estate can still be glimpsed in the mature landscape and impressive brick entrance walls that mark the approach to the lane.

How Far Is It To...
Despite its peaceful position, the property is well placed for nearby amenities. The popular riverside town of Woodbridge lies just 3.6 miles away, offering an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and a weekly market, alongside its picturesque waterfront. Even closer is Wickham Market, only 1.9 miles away, with everyday conveniences including shops, pubs, and a railway station serving Ipswich and Lowestoft. Ipswich is approximately 12 miles away, offering mainline services to London Liverpool Street in around an hour, while the nearby A12 provides straightforward road links. The Suffolk coast is also within easy reach, with Aldeburgh, Thorpeness, and Orford accessible for day trips - whether walking along shingle beaches, enjoying fresh seafood, or exploring historic castles and nature reserves.
