Exceptional Grade II Listed Farmhouse with Annexe in Stunning Suffolk Coast Village

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a captivating Grade II Listed farmhouse nestled within an idyllic plot in the sought-after Suffolk Coast village of Carlton. Benefiting from a spacious one-bedroom self-contained detached annexe, this property offers versatile living options in a distinguished setting. 'Carlton Green Farm' has been a treasured family residence since 1968, providing a sanctuary of security, stability, and timeless charm amidst a changing world.

The farmhouse, originally two cottages, is rich with period features throughout, including exquisite exposed Suffolk brick flooring, historic exposed beams and studwork, and a charming Inglenook fireplace. From every window, enjoy breathtaking views of the lush countryside and beautifully maintained gardens. The accommodation comprises: an entrance porch leading to a ground-floor shower room and utility/boot room; an inner hall with staircase to two bedrooms and a bathroom; a spacious sitting room featuring a multi-fuel burner within an Inglenook fireplace, with an additional staircase accessing the remaining two bedrooms; a fitted kitchen/breakfast room; a formal dining area; a stunning garden room; and a cosy family room/snug. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, one with an en-suite cloakroom, plus a family bathroom.

The detached annexe is a beautifully appointed addition, comprising a generous entrance hall, a spacious lounge opening onto a private terrace, a wet room, utility area, kitchen, and a double bedroom. This versatile space is perfect for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or generating income via rental opportunities or holiday lets.

The property is offered for sale with no onward chain. Heating is provided by an oil-fired Aga, a wood-burning stove, and night storage heaters, ensuring flexible energy options. Additionally, solar panels installed on ‘The Old Pigsty’ contribute to reduced electricity costs through increased supply and Feed-in Tariff payments.

The stunning gardens are a true highlight and must be seen to be appreciated. They are abundant with a vibrant array of roses, including the spectacular ‘Buff Beauty’ climbing one of the chimney stacks. The grounds feature three fruit trees—two apples and a plum—alongside a productive walnut and a majestic horse chestnut. An established peony bed, two ponds with visiting ducks and moorhens, and lush borders enhance the natural beauty. The garden is enclosed by hedgerow with one boundary delineated by post-and-rail fencing, offering uninterrupted views of neighbouring fields. A sweeping block-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a detached garage and a generous log and mower shed in the front garden.

Located just one and a half miles from Saxmundham, Carlton is a charming Suffolk Coast village. Saxmundham boasts a lively high street with a variety of cafés, pubs, restaurants, and takeaways, as well as a diverse collection of independent shops—including butchers, a bakery, and a hardware store—and larger retailers such as Waitrose and Tesco, along with a Post Office and chemist.
