Chiltern Associates are well established chartered surveyors in Woodbridge with years of experience in the local area and across much of the wider Suffolk area. Local knowledge is key when it comes to surveying and Nina Robinson knows the area very well.
Woodbridge is a stunning East Anglian town with a rich history and heritage dating back to the Neolithic Age. The town’s history has often been shaped by its position on the river Deben and the Woodbridge Tide Mill is one of the oldest working tide mills in the UK, having ground grain to produce flour and animal feed for over 800 years. The town also plays host to the annual Woodbridge Regatta & Riverside Fair, which promises family fun, entertainment, live music, crabbing competitions and more. Properties range from more modern flats and apartments to secluded bungalows and a variety of listed properties.
