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.
