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.
