The land is accessed via a private stone track suitable for most vehicles. There are no footpaths or rights of way.

Activities

The meadow has endless possibilities from, seeding with wildflowers and enjoying as a place for occasionally camping or perhaps use for grazing animals. It is wonderfully adaptive and could be fenced to make even more secure. It would be a perfect spot for anyone looking into keeping bees. The meadow is called Woolsack Wood as we hope any owner will plant more trees adding to the biodiversity of the area.

Local area and history

The Woolsack in the House of Lords was originally stuffed with wool from the Sudbury area, a sign of both the importance of the wool industry and of the wealth of the donors. The meadow is named in honour of this.

The property is located near to the village of Boxted on the peripheries of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Boxted has good road links to both the A12 and A120. The nearest train station can be found in Colchester with rail links to London and Norwich.

Dedham Vale is an area that has been an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty since 1970. It is located on the border between the counties of Suffolk and Essex in southeastern England. The area covers a 90km2 area on both sides of the River Stour. It is an open and culturally influenced agricultural landscape that also includes the village of Dedham. Artist John Constable grew up in nearby East Bergholt and has depicted Dedham Vale in several landscape paintings, such as The Vale of Dedham (1828).
