There is a stretch of lawn to the side of the house which would be ideal for children’s play equipment whilst the back garden faces south west and is sunny and private. A small, paved area to the left of the house at the back is a real sun trap and there are plenty of sunny nooks ideal for seating. Mature, well-established trees include a horse chestnut, sycamore, two blue cedars and a fragrant lilac tree. There are plenty of mature shrubs as well as a bay tree and rosemary bushes and the lawn has recently been scarified and the trees at the back of the garden have been trimmed. A gate leads to a charming little path running along the field where a small shed is currently used to store tools. Whilst Woolverstone does not have its own primary school, the nearby villages of Chelmondiston, Holbrook, Tattingstone and Shotley all do.

  • St Michael's Church
    St Michael’s Church Woolverstone A Brief History A Short History of Woolverstone The Beginnings – Fact or Fiction? The earliest evidence of human habitation is of a bronze age settlement situated on the road leading down to Cat House (by the Marina). Here, flint tools, broken pottery and bones of the period have been found. Legend has it that Woolverstone gets its name from a Danish or Norse chieftain called Wulf. It has been said that where the Church now stands there once stood a large glacial stone. This spot had supposedly been held sacred, and on this stone, Wulf the Rover was said to have sacrificed a poor native in honour of his god, and hence – Wulf’s Stone. The Lords & the People In the Domesday Book we read that there were two manors in the area held by Tostin and Aluric. These comprised of 3 ploughing teams, 3 acres of meadow, 3 villeins and 5 bordars, a Church and 10 acres of land, 5 horses, 8 beasts, 20 hogs, 60 sheep and woodland and pasturing for 15 hogs. Most court rolls that describe the management of the manor in these early days were almost certainly destroyed during the 1381 Peasant’s Revolt. Those that do remain show how the original feudal manor gradually became free of feudal ties. The early tenants gained independence and were free to buy and sell land. The 15th Century inhabitants grazed their stock on commons and in wood pastures, but had to pay rent for this to Lords of the manor. They also grew arable crops in small enclosed fields.
