Woodbridge also benefits from rail links to Ipswich, where rail services to London’s Liverpool Street station take just over the hour.  

The popular Heritage Coastline destinations of Orford and Aldeburgh are approximately 10 miles and 15 miles respectively. The county town of Ipswich is approximately 10 miles to the south-west, and with a population of approximately 178,000, offers all the services and facilities expected from a town of this size.

Description

Peterhouse Crescent was a local authority estate that was built during the 1950s, with Number 19 being built in 1950.  Whilst the property benefits from UPVC double-glazing and a gas boiler, it does require renovation and refurbishment throughout, and offers scope to be extended (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).  The accommodation comprises entrance hall, kitchen, sitting/dining room, timber lean-to, downstairs WC, two first floor bedrooms and a family bathroom.  The property occupies a corner plot, with gardens to the front, side and rear.  There is vehicular access to the side of the property with off-road parking, and a prefabricated garage to the rear.

The property is being sold by the usual method of private treaty, however the vendor requires offers to be accompanied by a Declaration of Interest Form, which is included within these particulars and needs to be completed by hand and returned to the agent.
