Description

TOTAL PRIVACY IN A WOODLAND SETTING

Stackwood House, built in 2017, enjoys a rare and secluded position, set away from roads and neighbouring properties, with a spectacular woodland backdrop.

The house takes full advantage of its setting, with four sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the west-facing garden and a balcony offering views into the trees. The property is ideal for those seeking a private and peaceful retreat.

Internally, the quality of finish is superb. The kitchen/garden room measures close to forty feet and includes a range cooker, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances, a waste disposal, a wine cooler, a wine fridge and a traditional Butler’s sink. The garden room area can accommodate a number of sofas and, with its bi-fold doors, provides an excellent indoor-outdoor entertaining space.

Further ground floor accommodation includes a triple-aspect sitting room, a dining room set beneath a galleried landing and staircase, a utility room, an impressive entrance hall, and a WC.

There are five bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom suite features French doors opening onto a large balcony which is ideal for enjoying the outstanding views. Both the principal and guest suites benefit from well-appointed bath/shower rooms, while the remaining three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room.

GROUNDS & OUTBUILDINGS
The property extends to approximately 1.75 acres (subject to survey) of private, enclosed grounds, including a shingle driveway accessed via electric gates and a summer house.

There is a detached triple-bay garage with electric roller doors, with a 520 sq ft studio annex above, which includes a kitchenette and shower room.

The current owner has recently constructed a series of additional outbuildings (under planning permission reference: DC/22/05321, Babergh District Council), designed to match the style of the house and annex:

-  Tractor store – 310 sq ft with vaulted ceiling
-  Office/gym/storage building – 800 sq ft on two levels
-  Workshop – 250 sqft
-  Summer house 165 sqft

The above have power and water connections except for the summer house which has power only.

LOCATION
Stackwood House is located on the edge of “Stack Wood”, a 50-acre woodland in Polstead Heath, close to the market town of Hadleigh and the villages of Polstead and Stoke-by-Nayland.

For commuters, both Colchester and Manningtree railway stations are accessible by car within approximately 30 minutes, offering direct services to London Liverpool Street.
