Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
A detached bungalow discreetly located along a minor country lane with numerous outbuildings, gardens and extensive woodland amounting to some 11.35 acres

Set well back in its secluded plot, the bungalow to Millfield Wood was built by the current owners in 1992, on land which they have owned since the mid-1950’s.

Although evidently well maintained over the years, the accommodation would benefit from some cosmetic updating, where there is also plenty of scope for an addition, if desired. The existing accommodation covers some 1,600 sq.ft comprising a spacious twin aspect kitchen / breakfast / dining room with corner larder and a fireplace with wood burner. The adjacent sitting room has similar generous proportions, with a further fireplace with wood burner and sliding glazed doors onto the front lawn. To the opposite side of a central hall is the utility room, shower room and two double bedrooms (one of which being an ensuite)

The bungalow is set in its immediate grounds of about 1 acre, where a driveway to one side leads to an area of hardstanding beyond the bungalow, giving access to the rear uPVC conservatory and a part brick, part block garage. Adjoining the garage is a substantial range of three equally sized lock-up stores of block construction, with a timber log store beyond.

Generally laid to lawn, the principal garden widens to the south and enjoys a private, west facing aspect which abuts a partly wooded meadow with a dutch barn.

Arguably the key feature to the property is the additional 10.32 acres of deciduous woodland which forms the majority of Millfield Wood. This area to the west consists of numerous native species, including many mature specimens of oak, small leaved lime, ash, native cherry and hazel.

In all, the property covers some 11.35 acres.

Location
Set on the southern edge of this well-regarded hamlet, Polstead Heath is a small rural community situated some 3 miles to the west of Hadleigh. Hadleigh itself provides excellent facilities including supermarket, shops, restaurants, pubs, and schools.

Services
Mains water, drainage and electricity are connected. Fibre optic broadband. Oil-fired heating.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 16, 2024

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
