Benhall GreenBenhall, Saxmundham, Suffolk, IP17 1HU

Lime Tree House is substantial Grade II Listed former farmhouse, originating from the 17th Century and with later additions. The house looks over the village of Benhall Green but now focusses over its wonderful south and west facing gardens to the rear. The majority of the rooms are twin aspect, with many enjoying views over the garden. The accommodation, which benefits from an oil-fired central heating system, extends in all to about 3,301 sq ft and displays a wealth of period features including exposed timbers and fireplaces fitted with wood burning stoves. The front door opens into a dining hall in the centre of the house, with an exposed brick floor and French doors onto the York stone terrace. The room is open plan into a well-equipped farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with AGA and ample work surfaces. The first floor is approached by two staircases, with the principal stair rising to a light, wide landing with a vaulted ceiling. There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a luxury family bathroom, with a sixth attic bedroom above. The gardens of Lime Tree House are a particular feature with a range of excellent outbuildings comprising a studio & workshop. These buildings have great potential for use as an annexe or home office subject to the necessary consents. The gardens are beautifully planted with a range of mature trees, shrubs and specimen plants. To one side lies a pond full of water lilies overlooked by a charming flint work folly. To the east lies a wonderful part walled Mediterranean garden with Olive trees and a sheltered terrace.
