5 bedroom detached house for sale

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a Grade II Listed farmhouse set within an idyllic plot in the popular Suffolk Coast village of Carlton benefiting from a one-bedroom self-contained detached annexe. ‘Carlton Green Farm’ has been a much-treasured family home since 1968 providing focus, security and a haven in an ever-changing world. The farmhouse was formally two cottages and benefits from original period features throughout, including beautiful exposed Suffolk brick flooring, exposed beams and studwork, and an Inglenook fireplace. From all the windows you can enjoy the stunning views of the countryside and gardens. The accommodation can be summarised as follows: entrance porch providing access to the ground floor shower room and utility / boot room; inner entrance hall with staircase up to two of the bedrooms and bathroom; generous sitting room with multi-fuel burner set within an Inglenook fireplace and further staircase leading up to the remaining two bedrooms; kitchen / breakfast room; formal dining room; beautiful garden room; and family room / snug. On the first floor are four bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite cloakroom, and the family bathroom.

The detached annexe is a beautiful addition with accommodation comprising spacious entrance hall, generous lounge which opens onto a private terrace, wet room, utility room, kitchen, and one double bedroom. This could either be used for multi-generational living or to generate an income as a rental opportunity or holiday let.

The property is being offered for sale with no onward chain. An oil-fired aga, wood burning stove and night storage heaters provide a diverse source of energy and, on ‘The Old Pigsty’, are solar panels which assist in lowering the costs of electricity through increased supply and FIT payments.

The gardens, which are a particular selling point and must be seen to be fully appreciated, are well-stocked with a good selection of roses including a spectacular ‘buff beauty’ up one of the chimney stacks. There are three fruit trees, two apple and one plum, as well as a productive walnut tree and beautiful horse chestnut. There is an established bed of peonies and two ponds with visiting ducks and moorhens. The garden is enclosed by hedgerow with post-and-rail fencing to one boundary allowing the opportunity to take advantage of the uninterrupted field views. A sweeping block-paved driveway provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles with a detached garage. In the front garden there is a generous log and mower shed.

The village of Carlton can be found on the Suffolk Coast just one and a half miles from Saxmundham. Saxmundham is a charming market town on the Suffolk Coast offering excellent access by rail and road to many of the nearby 'must see' places to visit along the coast. The town has a busy high street and boasts several cafés, pubs, restaurants, and takeaways. There is a diverse selection of independent shops including butchers, bakery and hardware store along with a Waitrose and Tesco, and General Post Office with chemist attached.
