Summary - Mill Lane, Benhall, Saxmundham, Suffolk, IP17 IP17 1HF
4 bed 2 bath Bungalow
Chain-free, light-filled single-storey home near Suffolk coast.
Detached single-storey bungalow on a large elevated plot
A rare, chain-free detached bungalow on a generous plot in the peaceful village of Benhall, less than 15 minutes from the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The single-storey layout offers flexible living: an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/garden room with bifold doors and roof lanterns, a large master bedroom with fitted walk-in wardrobe and en-suite wet room, plus two further double bedrooms and a versatile fourth bedroom/office/craft room. Clever built-in storage, a bespoke pantry and a substantial utility make everyday living tidy and practical.
The private, low-maintenance rear garden is a stand-out feature, with a paved courtyard, raised beds, greenhouse and a fully insulated weatherboarded workshop with internal and external power — ideal as a studio or home workspace. A wide front garden with young apple trees and a driveway provides off-street parking for at least two cars. The house sits elevated with open farmland nearby and easy access to Saxmundham station and coastal towns such as Aldeburgh.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via a boiler with a below-ground LPG tank in the garden, and the property’s solid brick walls are believed to have no cavity insulation — upgrading thermal performance may be advisable. The bungalow was extended and modernised in places, but buyers should expect typical maintenance for a home constructed in the early 20th century and verify EPC and services during purchase. This property suits families, multi-generational households or buyers seeking a quiet coastal retreat with scope to personalise further.
