Millfield Wood, Millwood Road, Polstead

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.
