If you step out onto the balcony of this home, you'll hear the unmistakable sound of halyard ropes gently jangling against masts in the breeze. You're right beside Woodbridge's picturesque quay, so it's a great spot, not only to watch the boats go by but also to drop by the cafes, pubs, and restaurants within walking distance. Of course, there's plenty to do in Woodbridge itself, including its unmissable weekly Thursday market, while the trip wouldn't be complete without a walk along the River Deben. But if you brought a car, even better – there's lots to explore further afield. Head to Aldeburgh for the freshest fish and chips, or visit the wonderful twelfth-century castle in Framlingham – both within a half-hour drive. On a clear day, you can even make out the ancient burial mounds at Sutton Hoo. After exploring the area, we'd recommend heading over the road to The Anchor for a pint – grab yourself a table under the magnolia tree and watch the world go by.
