Brook Street, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12

Constructed in 1828 as a Wesleyan chapel, the building has since undergone a considered evolution, accommodating a succession of uses within this notably historic quarter of Woodbridge. Set on Brook Street, long associated with local artisans and tradespeople, it later served as a workshop, echoing the town’s enduring tradition of skilled, small-scale enterprise. The property continues to convey that layered heritage, offering a distinctive blend of period character, local history and practical and contemporary versatility.

Positioned in a prime location in Woodbridge, this three-bedroom home has undergone an extensive programme of modernisation and improvement to create a stunning architectural home.

The front door opens into an impressive entrance hall, which is open to the rafters, with doors leading to the ground-floor accommodation and stairs rising to the first floor. The staircase is bespoke, with oak treads and banister, complementing the exposed brickwork on the first floor.

Directly ahead is the main bedroom, accessed via a sliding door, and a thoughtfully designed open wet room with flush flooring and uninterrupted lines, combining contemporary styling with effortless practicality, complete with a wall-hung WC set slightly higher for comfort and easy maintenance, and a discreetly integrated shower seat.

To the right is an inner lobby, which offers a utility area with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. This opens into a reception room which enjoys bi-fold doors onto the courtyard and parking to the front of the property.

A split level offers steps up to a landing leading to two further bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage and en-suite shower rooms, each with a WC.

Unexpectedly ample storage is offered throughout the ground floor, with three storage cupboards and additional space beneath the two bedrooms located off the raised landing. This area has been fitted with lighting and a wheeled trolley, allowing access to the half-height space.

The first-floor accommodation is the pinnacle of this delightfully designed and thoughtfully curated space, with bespoke and impressive features throughout.

With an imposing skylight and vaulted ceiling, complemented by exposed brickwork and industrial-style beams, the open-plan living area offers versatile accommodation. The skylight incorporates two opening vents, alongside a remote-controlled ceiling fan, and lighting that has been carefully selected to complement the space, including a mixture of track lighting and wall lights that wash across the brickwork.

A raised mezzanine offers a private space, while still enjoying an elevated position over the surrounding accommodation, and could be used as a study or snug. A remote-controlled gas wood-burner in the sitting room provides a cosy focal point for the winter months. The dining area, along with the kitchen, enjoys sash windows to the front of the property. The kitchen has been fitted with units, an induction hob, an integrated dishwasher and a double oven.

Finally, on the landing of the main staircase, a storage room offers a haven of possibilities, with ample storage cupboards and space for a tumble dryer.
