A natural mix of oak, birch, and ash has been thoughtfully planted in a seemingly random pattern, creating a woodland that feels genuinely wild and organic. This intentional yet informal design mirrors nature’s own layout, fostering a deep sense of harmony and balance within the ecosystem.

Now matured, the trees stand tall and proud, offering shelter and sustenance to a wide variety of wildlife. Their presence enriches both the visual landscape and the health of the environment. As the woodland continues to evolve, it will provide a lasting source of joy and inspiration for generations to come—offering cool shade on warm days, a backdrop for family outings, and a peaceful setting for solitary walks.

With each passing season, the woodland transforms—bringing fresh colors, shifting textures, and new discoveries. Beyond its beauty, this living landscape also plays a vital role in carbon sequestration, helping to combat climate change and safeguard the planet’s future.

Sudbury Wood is more than just a place—it's a living legacy, offering enduring benefits to both nature and humankind.

Sudbury Wood benefits from being part of an extensive woodland area, bordered by open green fields. This blend of habitats—dense woodland alongside expansive farmland—creates an ideal environment for wildlife to thrive. Deer are frequent visitors, and sightings of foxes and hares are common. It’s remarkable how many species rely on the woodland as a safe haven, using its shelter and resources for food, rest, and protection. Sudbury Wood truly serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, adding to its ecological value and natural charm.

The woodland slopes gently away from the lane, descending toward a stream that lies just beyond the trees. Along the northern boundary, a cross-stream feeds into this lower waterway, creating a network of natural corridors that serve as vital habitats for local wildlife.

Sudbury Wood is open and inviting, with ample space to set up camp or simply sit quietly and observe the resident Muntjac deer or a hare as it bounds through the undergrowth. The sense of peace here is immediate and lasting.

A simple bench has been placed in the lower part of the wood—an ideal spot to pause, reflect, and perhaps wonder: is this the one? The one that calls you back, again and again.

A stone track runs along the southern boundary, leading directly to the woodland entrance and providing excellent vehicle access for the owner. Along the northern edge, a public footpath meanders beside the trees, offering walkers a glimpse into the woodland’s natural beauty.

As is the case for all our woodlands, the purchaser will be asked to enter into a covenant which serves to protect the peace and quiet of the woodland.

Sudbury Wood offers an ideal opportunity for a new owner to explore family forestry at an entry level. Managing a mixed woodland and developing bushcraft skills provides a rewarding escape from the pace of modern life. Whether it's camping under the canopy, building woodland hides, or simply enjoying outdoor activities together, this woodland invites connection—with nature, with others, and with a simpler way of living.

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 south eastern 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).
