Superbly located house within Woodbridge
The Studio is positioned in a superb, private setting within the highly sought-after market town of Woodbridge.
Dating back to the early 1900s, the building was originally an artist’s studio and still retains a wealth of beautiful original features to this day, including a spiral staircase and mezzanine level, which reflect its creative origins. Its early-to-mid 20th-century use as a workspace is thought to connect with Woodbridge’s artistic heritage and the wider Suffolk tradition of studios and craft spaces.
In later years, the property was converted into two separate residential dwellings, before being thoughtfully recombined into a single home, now known as The Studio. The house now offers characterful, well-proportioned, double-aspect rooms filled with natural light throughout.
The accommodation includes an entrance hall in turn providing access to the kitchen/breakfast room, which is fitted with cabinetry, an ESSE gas-fired cooker, electric oven, and a door leading to the boiler room. The sitting/dining room, formerly the original artist’s studio, is a striking double-height space featuring a wood burning stove, a spiral staircase rising to an office area, and enjoys glazed sliding doors opening onto a terrace. Also within this part of the house is an en-suite bedroom, along with a boot room and cloakroom. The newest part of the house comprises a delightful light-filled family room with a wood-burning stove and sliding doors opening onto the garden, together with two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Completing the accommodation is a utility room with a door leading outside.
Outside
The Studio is approached via a shingle driveway, providing ample parking for several vehicles, along with a garage and cart lodge. The gardens are delightful, featuring raised flower beds, herbaceous borders, and a variety of mature shrubs and trees. A terrace offers an ideal space for alfresco dining and entertaining, whilst a cabin with electricity completes the outside space.

This property is undoubtedly superbly located within Woodbridge. I love how it offers the best of both worlds, being just moments from the town while also perfectly placed for riverside and countryside walks. The house itself is beautifully light-filled and well proportioned throughout.
