The Street, Melton, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP12 1PR

A distinctive and beautifully characterful three-bedroom period home, set just off The Street in sought-after Melton and within easy walking distance of Woodbridge town centre. With its bright yellow gloss front door, flowering borders, climbing roses and inviting frontage, the property makes an immediate and memorable first impression.

This exceptional home blends Tudor and Georgian influences, creating a residence of rare charm, individuality and warmth. Previously associated with the family of Thomas Churchyard, it offers a rich sense of history alongside comfortable, light-filled living spaces.
To the front there is a private parking space, while the house itself enjoys a tucked-away position close to the amenities, riverside walks, independent shops and cafés of Woodbridge.

The entrance hall is bright, spacious and full of character, with painted wooden floorboards, a painted staircase rising to the first floor, useful under-stairs storage and space for coats.

The sitting room is a wonderfully inviting space, with windows to the front and side drawing in excellent natural light. A distinctive curved wall adds architectural interest, while an open log fire with brick surround and tiled mantle create an elegant focal point.

The dining room/library is particularly atmospheric, featuring painted floorboards, fitted bookshelves and a large open fireplace with wooden surround. A sash window to the front adds to the room’s period charm and refined appeal.

Beyond, the kitchen continues the home’s individual style. Sash windows to the front bring in natural light, while vintage cabinetry, yellow Formica worktops and a stainless-steel sink and drainer lend a playful yet timeless character. The boiler is also located within the kitchen.
A lean-to beyond the kitchen provides useful additional storage and gives direct access to the charming courtyard garden.

The painted wooden staircase leads to a bright and generous landing, where sash windows frame views across Melton rooftops towards the greenery of Woodbridge beyond. Partially curved ceilings and a charming archway provide further architectural interest.

The principal bedroom sits to the side of the property and continues the sense of elegance found throughout the home. Sash windows, painted floors, high ceilings and white walls create a calm, graceful backdrop for furnishings. There is a built in cupboard providing additional storage.
Bedroom three is a well-proportioned room with a large sash window to the front and a built-in cupboard with shelving.

Bedroom two is a small double bedroom with sash window to the rear, currently used as an office.

The family bathroom is positioned to the front, with a sash window offering attractive rooftop views towards the surrounding greenery. It comprises a cast-iron bath with handheld shower above, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

Outside
The part-walled courtyard is an enchanting space for alfresco dining and quiet relaxation. A side gate leads to the front of the property, while raised brick borders, wood storage for the fireplace and a mature acer tree and well-established climbing roses enhance the setting.

A further garden area is accessed over the neighbouring driveway, over which the vendors have a right of access. This area provides a parking space, wooden garage and attractive garden with flower borders and walled garden character.

The outlook is especially appealing, with far-reaching views over Melton Lodge Garden and adjoining woodland, ensuring a wonderfully leafy and enduring backdrop.

Additional Information
Planning permission was previously granted for the shed to be converted into a garden room, although this has now lapsed. The current vendors had also considered extending into the attic space above the bedroom, where there is generous standing height, to create a principal bedroom with en suite, subject to the necessary consents.
Part of the cupboard and a small section of the principal bedroom form part of a flying freehold, with the entrance hall of the neighbouring property situated beneath.
