Description
Pound Farm House occupies a wonderful rural setting on the edge of the attractive Suffolk village of Milden, enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside and offering an exciting opportunity to create a superb country home in one of the county's most desirable locations.
Approached via a private driveway, the property enjoys a peaceful and secluded position with approximately 2.8 acres of gardens and grounds surrounding the house. The setting offers an excellent balance of privacy, space and accessibility, with the historic villages of Lavenham and Long Melford, together with the market town of Sudbury, all within easy reach.
The existing house provides generous family accommodation and offers purchasers the opportunity to modernise, remodel or extend further, subject to any necessary consents.
The property benefits from implemented planning permissions including the creation of an enlarged residential curtilage, new access driveway and substantial garage building. Planning permissions B/17/01149 and subsequent consent DC/21/06703 have been implemented, with works already commenced.
Outside, the gardens and grounds extend to approximately 2.8 acres and provide an attractive combination of open lawn, mature boundaries and countryside views. The grounds offer ample space for family life, entertaining and recreation, whilst retaining a manageable scale for day-to-day ownership.
A further parcel of adjoining agricultural land extending to approximately 1.1 acre is available by separate negotiation, providing flexibility for purchasers seeking additional land for amenity, hobby farming or lifestyle purposes.
Milden is a charming and highly regarded Suffolk village situated approximately 4 miles from Lavenham and 6 miles from Sudbury, with Colchester and Ipswich both within convenient reach. Rail services from Sudbury connect to London Liverpool Street, whilst the wider area is renowned for its picturesque countryside, excellent schooling and thriving village communities.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
