4 bedroom house

A beautiful Edwardian townhouse which looks out from its prominent position at the head of the valley leading into Bredfield Street, a prime location within easy walking distance of all that Woodbridge has to offer. With its warm red bricks and Dutch gables the house rests imposingly at the top of a sweeping drive, which winds past a meadow with an area of wild flowers and also areas of lawn, mature trees and hedging.

The locally linked and award winning Rose Builders took the former pre-prep school, built in 1914 and previously known as Queens House, and undertook a conversion into three distinguished townhouses. A skilful and sensitive restoration and renovation was carried out, bringing all the benefits of modern living, while also retaining the wonderful character of this iconic house. Many reminders of the past remain, including some of the names and dates of former pupils who have etched them into the bricks around the entrance to the house.

When you step inside the sitting room you are hit by the breathtaking high ceilings, tall sash windows and views across the meadow and onwards towards the banks of Sutton Hoo, which the owners say can be seen when the trees are bare in winter. The high ceilings are graced by two ceiling roses, and there is a remote -controlled gas stove with log burning fuel effect.

At the back of the house the contemporary finish comes to the forefront, with a stylish kitchen/dining area with large centre-piece island, stone worktops with a double butler sink, Rangemaster with 5 zone induction hob, extractor fan, integrated wine fridge, integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, Blum tower larder and a water softener. A wonderful adjoining dining area has French doors leading to the courtyard garden.

Finishing off the ground floor there is a utility room, with space for separate washing machine and dryer and a door leading to the garden, and a cloakroom with Vitra sanitary ware.

Ascending to the first floor, the past echoes through the original concrete school steps, turned banister and metal spindles. The landing leads to the stunning master bedroom, with its very high vaulted ceiling and three tall windows. There are two further double bedrooms of a very good size. Both the master bedroom and second bedroom are served by en suite bathrooms and bedroom three is served by the family bathroom. All three of the bathrooms are impressively finished, with Vitra sanitary ware, underfloor heating and heated towel rails. The ensuite bathrooms have a stone resin shower tray with glass enclosure and chrome fittings and the family bathroom has bath with shower overhead.

The second floor has accommodation with excellent versatility. There are two rooms Previously used as home working offices, which could alternatively be used as double bedrooms. There is also a very large fully boarded loft storage space, with access via a door and steps from the landing, and with a window and electrics.

During the conversion Rose Builders fully re-roofed and fitted the house with UPVC double glazed sash windows, and completely re-wired and re-plumbed it.

There is fibre broadband to the property and CAT 6 cabling to each room, ideal for high speed home working. There are USB charge points and TV points in all main rooms, and media units in the sitting room and master bedroom, giving a modern connected home.

There is also an EV charging point between the two parking spaces situated at the front of the house.
