Mill Green House was built in the 1540s and was obviously a property of some importance, it\‘s heavily timbered with a high quality timber frame and exceptional workmanship evident. Our vendor has loved every minute of his time in the house commenting that he has been a privileged custodian and its\‘ time to pass it on to future generations. The location is also exceptional, being on the edge of Chippenhall Green - a six hundred year old grazing area of special scientific interest. The house itself stands in a plot of approximately 2 acres, a mixture of meadow, lawn and mature trees and shrubs which itself attracts a lot of wildlife into it.
