Location

Woodbridge is a thriving Suffolk market town located on the River Deben, approximately 9 miles north east of the county town of Ipswich. The town has an excellent range of shops, restaurants, pubs and recreational facilities.

Although the resident population is only about 11,000, the town draws from a much wider retail and leisure catchment. Woodbridge is also experiencing significant expansion with a range of new and proposed residential and mixed use developments.

The property is located on the south side of Theatre Street, immediately to the west of the town centre and situated between the Woodbridge Community Fire & Police Station and Mussiden Place, a sheltered housing complex.

The town square is within 150m to the east and the A12 is within 900m to the west.

The property comprises a detached building of brick construction under pitched tiled roofs and flat roof to the rear garage.

The property was previously used as a British Red Cross meeting hall with first floor flat, prior to being adapted to an antiques centre in 2020.

The front part of the property comprises a single storey former hall/sales area fronting on to Theatre Street, with a rear two storey section comprising entrance hall, kitchen, toilets and other ancillary rooms suited for use as either additional retail accommodation, offices or storage. An internal staircase leads to the first floor, originally used as a flat, although suitable for use as offices, storage or other ancillary uses. A former ambulance garage is situated to the rear, together with 3 allocated car parking spaces.
