Part of our Signature collection, Doric Lodge is a distinctive Grade II listed property located in the heart of Woodbridge, a stone's throw from the Thoroughfare and just a short walk from the River Deben.

Doric Lodge is a distinctive Grade II listed property located in the heart of Woodbridge, moments from the Thoroughfare and just a short walk from the River Deben.

The property was previously used as a Freemasons meeting lodge between 1824–1923, and was later converted into a generous family home with well-proportioned accommodation including a stunning 19' sitting room with a south-facing aspect overlooking the courtyard garden. Unusually for a town centre property, Doric Lodge also benefits from a detached garage and private parking.

The front door opens into the reception hall with tiled floor and stairs to the first floor. The impressive sitting room has an attractive stripped wooden floor and feature fireplace with wood burning stove. There are floor to ceiling sash windows to the side and rear and a door leading out to the courtyard garden. The delightful dining room has windows to the side, stripped wooden floors, painted wood panelling and a feature fireplace.
The kitchen/breakfast room has a tiled floor and sash windows. There are a range of fitted units, a brick fireplace with space for an electric range cooker, a dining area and access to the useful walk-in pantry. The utility room has a butler sink, water softener and space for a washing machine.

To complete the ground floor accommodation is a cloakroom and study, with access to the outside and second staircase leading to the snug/bedroom.

The first floor landing has a skylight and stairs leading to the generous master bedroom with stripped wooden floors and dual aspect with impressive views to the south and glimpses of Tranmer House at Sutton Hoo, and the Tide Mill. There is a well proportioned ensuite and an additional shower room on this level.

There are two double bedrooms and a large airing cupboard with double doors. Beyond this is an area currently in use as a games room which has potential to be converted into a further bedroom if required. At the end of the hallway is the bathroom and a snug/bedroom with cast iron fireplace, storage cupboard and stairs leading down to the study. Doric Place is a private road leading from Quayside to the Thoroughfare. The property has a courtyard garden with a low-level wall and wrought-iron gate. On the opposite side of the lane is a well stocked border enclosed by wrought-iron railings with a pedestrian right of way for the neighbouring property.

The enclosed parking area has parking for a number of vehicles and a detached garage with electric up and over door and power and light connected. This can be accessed on foot from Doric Place or by car from Crown Place.
Doric Place is a narrow lane and we would advise parking at our offices in the first instance.
