Location
Park Lodge is located adjacent to the A12 and on the outskirts of the popular village of Bredfield.  Bredfield, which is some 1.5 miles to the north-west, benefits from a community run village shop, village hall and church, bowls club and two tennis courts.  Park Lodge is only 1.5 miles from the historic market town of Woodbridge, which is situated on the banks of the River Deben and provides an excellent array of facilities including shops, boutiques, restaurants, a swimming pool, theatre and cinema, doctors’ surgery and railway station. Trains from the station connect to Ipswich with direct trains through to London’s Liverpool Street station taking just over the hour. 

There are several sailing clubs and marinas in the town and various golf courses within a few miles. Woodbridge also has excellent schooling in both the state and private sector. The County town of Ipswich lies about 7 miles to the south-west and other areas of the Heritage Coast are within easy reach with nearby popular centres including Orford, Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Southwold.

Description
Park Lodge is a well presented and recently extended four bedroom chalet bungalow, that occupies a generous plot of over half an acre and offers an excellent range of outbuildings including a double garage with studio above, separate studio room and workshop/store.  

The vendors acquired the property just over 10 years ago, and in the intervening period have extended Park Lodge to create a light and spacious four double bedroom home.  The extension in 2014 created a stunning open plan kitchen and dining room arrangement, that links wonderfully well with the adjoining sitting room.  The ground floor accommodation also includes a separate drawing room, ground floor double bedroom and well fitted bathroom.  On the first floor there is a generous master bedroom, two further double bedrooms and a shower room.   

Being located adjacent to the A12, Park Lodge is also extremely accessible, with good road links to Woodbridge, Ipswich and beyond as well as Ufford, Wickham Market and the Heritage Coast. 

Directions
Proceeding in a northerly direction on the A12 by-pass the town of Woodbridge and head towards Bredfield and Wickham Market.  Shortly before the turning to Bredfield, the entrance to Park Lodge will be found on the left hand side.
