Location The Old Post Office will be found in the very centre of Waldringfield, at the junction of Cliff Road and Sandy Lane and only 300 metres from the River Deben. Waldringfield is a well regarded and picturesque village located on the banks of the river. The village benefits from a primary school, well supported local church, a popular public house, The Maybush, an excellent village hall, home to numerous clubs and societies and a playingfield. There is the Waldringfield Sailing Club, the Boatyard, which provides facilities for yachts and offers trips on the river and Waldringfield Heath Golf Club.

The historic market town of Woodbridge, which is also based on the Banks of the River Deben, is approximately 5½ miles to the north, and offers a good range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities, together with a railway station with direct links, via Ipswich, to London's Liverpool Street station. The A12 trunk road is just 4 miles to the west, and this provides good links to the county town of Ipswich, where there is a further good choice of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities, together with the mainline rail service to both London and Norwich. 

Directions Proceeding in a southerly direction along the A12 from Woodbridge and Martlesham, bypass the BT premises on your left, turning left at the next roundabout where signposted to Waldringfield, Brightwell and Newbourne. Proceed into Waldringfield, passing the school and the property will be found on the left hand side at the junction with Sandy Lane. 

Description Originally believed to comprise three cottages from the 19th Century, The Old Post Office is a central village property, that offers wonderful scope and potential. Having been in the family's ownership for 30 years and served as the village's post office during that time, the property now warrants a programme of renovation and refurbishment, that could include substantially reconfiguring and extending the accommodation, and subject to the necessary consents.

The accommodation comprises a sitting room, which we understand originally served as the post office and is of timber framed construction, dining room, snug, study/ground floor bedroom, kitchen and wet room on the ground floor, whilst on the first floor there is a spacious landing, three bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside there is a parking space beside the property, together with a pair of double doors that provide access to an area of hardstanding at the rear. The majority of the gardens are to the front of The Old Post Office, and facing almost due south, this area benefits from the sun throughout the day.
