Woodbridge named happiest place to live in Great Britain
We are delighted to share that Woodbridge has been crowned the happiest place to live in Great Britain, according to Rightmove’s ‘Happy at Home Index’.
Now in its 13th year, they surveyed over 35,000 people to find out what people love about where they live. Unsurprisingly, this charming market town on the banks of the River Deben scored highly with residents, who rated it for sense of community, a friendly vibe, and access to schools and healthcare.
Callum Jacobs, Partner at Fenn Wright commented “It is fantastic that Woodbridge has been voted Britain’s happiest town and our team are inclined to agree! We regularly hear residents say how lucky they are to live in Woodbridge and there is a strong sense of community spirit and pride.
With so much to explore on the doorstep, there is plenty to do, from a stroll along the bustling Thoroughfare, to the Shire Hall and a host of independent shops on Market Hill, and of course not forgetting the Tide Mill and picturesque River Deben. Woodbridge continues to prove popular with buyers and we see people relocating here not only from other areas of the UK but from abroad too.”
Often referred to as the ‘gem in Suffolk’s crown’, Woodbridge has plenty to offer residents and visitors alike with a great mix of high street stores and boutiques and an array of excellent pubs, restaurants and cafes. There are some fantastic places to visit nearby too, such as the Anglo Saxon royal burial site at Sutton Hoo, the coastal towns of Felixstowe, Aldeburgh and Southwold, and Orford Ness Nature Reserve.
Our Woodbridge branch has gone from strength to strength since opening in 2018 and we are now the top selling agents in the area. Over the past year, in IP12, IP13 and the surrounding villages, more sellers have entrusted Fenn Wright to sell their properties than any of our competitors.
We are immensely proud of that achievement but also recognise and respect the efforts of our local competitors. Beyond statistics, what really counts is the quality of the service and advice we provide to our clients and we are proud of the feedback we receive, regularly achieving five stars for our sales progression work and value for money.
