Description
Creek Farm is an attractive, four-bedroom detached house set within over five acres of beautiful grounds, featuring delightful gardens, various outbuildings, and spectacular views over Martlesham Creek.
Believed to date from the 16th century, the property is Grade II listed for its historical and architectural significance, retaining many enchanting and fascinating features, such as exposed timbers and studwork.
Internally, the accommodation flows exceptionally well, comprising generously proportioned and light-filled rooms.
The front door opens into a practical reception hall, which provides access to the principal reception rooms. The elegantly proportioned, double-aspect drawing room boasts a charming open fireplace and exposed timbers. Beyond the drawing room is the triple-aspect sunroom, offering fabulous views over the garden and towards the creek; glazed sliding doors open onto a south-facing terrace.
At the heart of the house is the dining hall, which leads to the kitchen/breakfast room and study, with stairs ascending to the first-floor bedrooms. The spacious, double-aspect kitchen/breakfast room includes a range of base units and connects to a useful utility room with external access. The well-proportioned study features south-facing French windows and a hatch leading to a wine cellar.
The first floor comprises four bedrooms and a family bathroom. The delightful principal bedroom benefits from windows on the south and east elevations, providing excellent views over the creek and surrounding fields, along with an en suite bathroom.
Gardens & Grounds
Creek Farm is set within about 5.57 acres of beautiful grounds, featuring Notcutts-designed gardens with verdant lawns, terraces ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, and paddocks suited to equestrian use. The grounds include mature and specimen trees and offer superb views over Martlesham Creek, surrounding countryside, and its wildlife.
Outbuildings
The property features a range of versatile outbuildings, including a spacious studio that, subject to necessary consents, could be transformed into a self-contained annexe, holiday home, or dedicated workspace. Additionally, there is a series of generously proportioned workshops and stores, offering extensive storage or potential for hobby or business use, linked to a three-bay cart lodge.
Location
Woodbridge is a thriving market town in East Suffolk, recently recognised as the happiest place to live in the United Kingdom. Situated on the River Deben, it offers scenic walks, a harbour, and a rare working tide mill with roots dating to the 11th century.
The town boasts beautiful architecture from the Tudor, Georgian, Regency, and Victorian periods, complemented by an array of independent shops, cafés, public houses, and restaurants. Nearby Bromeswell is home to the renowned Unruly Pig gastropub, while Sutton Hoo features Britain’s most important Anglo-Saxon archaeological site.
Orford, a charming village with a 12th-century castle, is known for Pump Street Bakery and Butley Orford Oysterage. Aldeburgh, famed for Benjamin Britten, offers galleries, boutiques, and a superb restaurant scene. Ipswich, the county town, provides theatres, galleries, and museums alongside excellent shopping.
Woodbridge benefits from strong transport links, excellent schools - including Woodbridge School and Framlingham College - and superb sporting facilities, including sailing, rugby, and golf clubs.
