Benacre Hall, Grade II listed country house in Benacre, England
Benacre Hall exhibits Georgian design principles with geometric Palladian influences, featuring spacious rooms including a 48-foot-long saloon on its southern front.
The present mansion, constructed in 1764 following plans by architect Brettingham, has belonged to the Gooch family since Sir Thomas Gooch acquired the estate in 1745.
The interior houses notable artworks, including paintings by Teniers and Snyders, along with portraits of the three Charles and significant Gooch family members.
The privately owned estate sits between the A12 road and North Sea coast, approximately 5.75 miles south of Lowestoft in the East Suffolk district.
The library maintains an extensive collection of historical military paintings depicting Sir Thomas Gooch, who helped establish the Yeomanry Cavalry Corps.
