LOCATION

Burkitt House is located in the heart of the historic market town of Woodbridge, within a few minutes’ walk of the iconic Market Hill and Woodbridge School. The property is easily accessible to all the facilities that central Woodbridge has to offer, including its many varied shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as its top performing schools, churches and rail station, from where regular branch line services connect through to the county town of Ipswich, with its main line services to London’s Liverpool Street station.

The nearby river, upon which Woodbridge’s prosperity was based, provides a variety of water sport opportunities and there are further sports, social clubs and societies catering for all interests in and around the town, which together have helped Woodbridge secure the recent Rightmove accolade of being Great Britain’s ‘happiest town’ and listing in The Sunday Times best places to live.
