Location

The property forms part of the popular and well regarded Millfields development, set along The Street in the centre of the charming village of Darsham, close to Suffolk’s beautiful Heritage Coast.  Darsham benefits from a popular dining pub house, The Fox, as well as a well supported, recently built village hall with village green, and a petrol station with general stores.  There is also the railway station, which is just over a mile from the property, and which is on the Ipswich to Lowestoft line, with onward links to London’s Liverpool Street station. Within 1½ miles is the popular village of Westleton, and the sea at Dunwich is 4½ miles as is the Minsmere RSPB bird reserve. The popular coastal locations of Southwold, Walberswick and Aldeburgh, are also close by. 

The A12 trunk road is under a mile from the property providing easy links throughout the east of the county. Within 6 miles is Saxmundham, where there are both Tesco and Waitrose supermarkets, as well as a number of individual shops. There are GP surgeries and schools in both Saxmundham and Halesworth.  Halesworth, also 6 miles, offers a good selection of shops, eateries and facilities, as well as The Cut arts centre hosting many music events and classes. Golf and sailing can both be found close by, as well as other lovely market towns such as Woodbridge and Framlingham, with its historic medieval castle. Snape, with its world famous concert hall, is 10 miles.

Directions

Travelling in a northerly direction on the A12, proceed through the village of Yoxford and pass Darsham railway station on your left and the garage on your right. After approximately half a mile take the right hand turning where signposted to Darsham and Westleton.  Continue into the village where 1 Millfields will be found on the left hand side, just before the village hall.  For those using the What3Words app: ///bets.legwork.lightens.

The property is set back from the village street, but partly screened by a maturing hawthorn hedge, within which is a  gap for a five bar gate that opens onto a paved pathway that leads past the front door and onto the rear.  Note: the development to the rear of the site also enjoys a right of way over the pathway.

The front door is flanked by well stocked borders that contain a variety of mature flowers and shrubs.  Beside the property, where the pathway continues, the gardens are predominantly laid to grass for ease of maintenance, but again with a well stocked border.  A gate from the pathway provides access to the rear garden.  This comprises a patio area that immediately adjoins the rear of the property beyond which is a central area laid to lawn which is enclosed within well stocked borders.  To the rear of the garden is some trellising that screens the oil tank.

Beyond the rear garden is the parking and turning area that is shared with 2 Millfields.  This is accessed from the block paved driveway at the rear, and via a pair of side hung double gates.  The driveway is sufficiently large enough to accommodate two vehicles for the property.  There is also the oversized single garage, approximately 23’ x 10’6 (7m x 3.23m), with manually operated up and over door and with power and light connected.
