The Cottage is located within walking distance of the local primary school, Church and general store while the river, butchers shop, railway station and recreation ground are somewhat further away. The village is effectively a satellite of Woodbridge, a market town of some considerable character, situated on the west bank of the river Deben and providing very good facilities for it’s size. These include a variety of shops, schools for students of all ages, restaurants, hotels,a cinema and a swimming pool as well as a railway station with some direct services running through to London’s Liverpool Street station.

Woodroyd Cottage has been adapted and extended over the years and now provides comfortable accommodation with a Hall, Cloakroom, Sitting Room, Dining Room, Kitchen and Conservatory on the ground floor with the three first floor rooms served by a Family Bathroom and an En-Suite Shower Room to the principal room.

Outside there is room to park on the drive in the double length carport or within the garage, which is large enough for additional parking or to use part of the area as a workshop. There is also a Studio, which in the past has been used as a home office, and a good size potting shed. The garden is relatively easy to maintain and has mature trees, shrubs and flowers with a paved patio immediately outside the Conservatory.

There are good opportunities to play sport in the surrounding district with golf being enjoyed on the well known Woodbridge course which is found in the neighbouring village of Bromeswell. The Seckford and Ufford Park courses are within a comfortable drive while Aldeburgh and Thorpeness offer different challenges in their coastal location. Sailing is popular, either on the tidal rivers or at sea and a number of other clubs cater for a variety of sporting interests.
