WOODBRIDGE
suffolk
Designed to blend in with the rich heritage of its surroundings, Malt Yard is in the perfect location
for exploring everything the charming town of Woodbridge has to offer.
Malt Yard is a development
of 31 one and two bedroom
apartments. Built on the site
of an old Suffolk malt house,
it takes inspiration from the
history and character of its
beautiful riverside location.
A large terrace and secluded
gardens are at the heart of this
unique development, which
is just minutes from the River
Deben quayside, where you’ll
find the timber buildings so
characteristic of the area,
as well as cafés, shops and
The Riverside Theatre,
Cinema, Restaurant and Bar.
A short stroll takes you to
the centre of Woodbridge,
a thriving market town big
enough to offer you plenty
of opportunities to shop and
eat out, but small enough
for you to get a real sense
of belonging.
Malt Yard draws on the
architectural traditions
of Woodbridge and its
picturesque surroundings
to create beautiful, spacious
apartments in a development
rich with detail. The design
and materials used give
the building a character
in keeping with the town,
while the large windows
and thoughtful layout are
suggestive of elegant
loft-style living.
There is a Club Lounge and
large terrace that overlook
landscaped gardens, inspired
by the surrounding Suffolk
countryside.

Situated on the banks of the
River Deben, Woodbridge is
a small market town close
to the Suffolk coast.
Further along the river you’ll
find Sutton Hoo, one of the
most important Anglo-Saxon
sites in the United Kingdom,
following the discovery of an
undisturbed burial ship that
held a wealth of artefacts.
It’s part of 155 square miles
of wetlands, ancient heaths
and shingle beaches known
as the Suffolk Coast and
Heaths Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty.
Easily accessible by road
and rail, Woodbridge is 16
miles away from the charming
town of Aldeburgh, and the
seaside towns of Southwold
and Felixstowe are within easy
reach. The county town of
Ipswich, with its busy shopping
streets, restaurants and cafés,
lies just inland.

Malt Yard is close to Woodbridge’s
thriving Quayside, which is steeped
in the history of the area.
There are lovely walks beside
the river, and the Quayside
and Ferry Quay are well worth
exploring.
Nearby Elmhurst Park is home
to the town’s bowls club, which
boasts a delightful 19th century
boundary wall.
The train station and town centre,
with its small independent shops,
restaurants and cafés, are just
a few minutes walk away.

With its busy shopping streets and winding lanes full of shops, cafés and restaurants, Woodbridge has all the hustle and bustle of a market town, with the charm of a village where people stop to say
hello and shopkeepers know you by name.
Like many market towns, Woodbridge
has its own rhythm during the week,
including market day, when the town
is full of people buying fresh fruit and
vegetables, meat, fish and cheese.
People flock to the fine art and antiques
auctions that take place once a month on
a Wednesday and to the regular farmers
markets, which create an additional buzz
in the town.
13
Home to many artists and writers,
Woodbridge has a thriving arts
scene and there’s always something
going on, with classes and groups for
everything from creative writing to
painting, together with exhibitions,
performances and shows.
The town also has numerous sports
clubs, including bowls, tennis, golf
and sailing.
14
The shopkeepers and café owners
are helpful and friendly, and many
organise social events during the
week. Jars of Clay invite you to
bring along a craft project you’re
working on for Craft, Coffee, Cake,
& Chat every other Wednesday,
and Browsers, the town’s
independent bookshop and café,
hosts a regular book club, poetry
evenings and author events.
The British Larder
15
Market Hill is a thriving part of the historic Market Town
Woodbridge offers a fabulous
choice of restaurants, such as
The Crown and the Table, and the
very popular British Larder, a little
further out of town. The Riverside
restaurant is perfect for dinner
before seeing a show next door
or attending the Woodbridge Film
Society – it meets at the Riverside
Theatre on the first Monday
of every month.
There are some great cafés and
restaurants on Market Hill, including
the family-run The Galley restaurant,
which regularly holds its own lobster
weeks and offers a special festival
menu that’s worth looking out for.
As well as the independent shops
and boutiques, Market Hill is home
to the Woodbridge Museum,
run by a team of volunteers and
telling the story of the town from
its beginnings as an Anglo Saxon
settlement.
In the Thoroughfare, you’ll find
Honey + Harvey, where the baristas
take their coffee very seriously.

The staff in Paul’s Fish Box in the
nearby Turban Centre recommend
dropping in on Wednesdays,
Thursdays or Fridays, when there’s
plenty of fresh fish to choose from.
It’s also worth popping into the other
small independent shops, including
Les Chocolats Belges and the Cake
Shop Bakery, to pick up something
special to take home.

18
The Tide Mill Living Museum
19
The banks of the River Deben are
perfect for a stroll and there’s plenty
to explore along the Quayside,
a charming and historic part of the
town, home of the popular Tide Mill
Living Museum.
Woodbridge is also perfect for
exploring further afield in the beautiful
Suffolk countryside and many walkers
visit the Orford Ness National Reserve.

THE DEVELOPMENT
Malt Yard is a development designed to evoke and complement the historic town of Woodbridge
and the remarkable natural beauty of the landscape.
23
The timber cladding and
brickwork are reminiscent of the
original malt yard buildings and
the tidal mills nearby; many of
the apartments have balconies
that give the place an attractive,
outward-looking feel.
24
25
Influences of a rich working
history are found in the more
formal design of the secluded
gardens, with an impressive
pergola evocative of the traditional
frames used in malt production.
Here, climbing hops and roses
grow, while wildflower mixes
and Prairie grasses suggestive
of ancient arable lands surround
the development.
Time-honoured farming
techniques such as clip hedging
are also used to create soft
boundaries and ensure privacy.
Malt Yard’s design connects it
to the town’s traditional malting
and brewing, boat-building and
sail-making industries.
Employing timber, industrial steel
and brick, the development is
strongly influenced by the town’s
rich vernacular architecture,
translated into a residential setting
by a specialist team of architects
and designers.
Industrial themes inform the
design of the apartments, but the
landscaping looks for inspiration
both from the site’s heritage and
the remarkable natural beauty of
the area, including the Deben estuary
and the burial site at Sutton Hoo.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Shared areas
Malt Yard offers opportunities both for peaceful seclusion and for socialising, with a variety
of spaces where the focus is on spending time with friends and neighbours.
GARDENSA long wooden bench surrounding
the vibrant formal garden provides
ample space for enjoying the unique,
tranquil setting, while the more
traditional central lawn is perfect for
garden parties during the summer.
CLUB LOUNGEThe spacious Club Lounge is a welcoming
place to meet, ideal for a cup of coffee
and a chat, social events and suppers,
or just sitting and taking in the view –
in summer, the doors can be fully opened
onto the garden.

Every apartment at Malt Yard has been created as an oasis of peace,
thoughtfully designed to offer flexible interiors that are easy to adapt.
