| Woodbridge is
hugely popular with house hunters, arriving not just from Ipswich
and other Suffolk towns, but from all over the country. Woodbridge
estate agents like Hamilton Smith have seen incredible growth in
property prices over recent years as the town manages to mix a
quiet Suffolk market town charm with easy access to Ipswich,
London and further afield.
Woodbridge
has a 1400 year history - and the town has retained an interesting
variety of historical architecture amongst its varied housing
stock. On the banks of the river Deben, with its Tide Mill and
modern marina, it offers perfect boating and riverside walks.
Woodbridge
has a proper 'high street' (the Thoroughfare) - with many
independent shops, and dozens of places to eat and drink. And the
town's huge range of attractions include many golf clubs, art
galleries and exhibitions, the Shire Hall, Windmill, beautiful
surrounding countryside and the National Trust Anglo Saxon burial
site at Sutton Hoo.
Woodbridge
schools are excellent. In 2003, the local Farlingaye High School (www.farlingaye.suffolk.sch.uk/)
was awarded "Leading Edge" status, while the independent
Woodbridge School (www.woodbridge.suffolk.sch.uk)
has over 900 pupils between the ages of four and eighteen.
