New Street, Woodbridge

An historic Tudor town house considered to be one of the oldest in Woodbridge.

Bridewell is an iconic and historic Tudor town house, thought to be one of the oldest in Woodbridge. Dating from the 1500’s and Listed Grade II* the property has benefited from a thorough refurbishment in recent years carried out by the well-reputed Chapel Properties of Woodbridge.

The accommodation, which extends to some 1,673 sq ft has an atmospheric presentation, and displays many fine period features, including exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and mullion windows. There are oak boarded floors, and a fabulous fully fitted kitchen by local craftsman Ashford and Brooks. The high ceilings and wide windows make the property surprisingly light, and the two reception rooms, together with the ground floor bedroom and bathroom, offer flexibility of layout.

Set off a first-floor landing are three double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, together with a heritage style bathroom.

The property benefits from a modern mains gas fired central heating system and, to the rear, is a useful private courtyard running the length of the building with access returning to New Street.
