The Causeway, Peasenhall, Saxmundham, Suffolk, IP17

Set in the very heart of Peasenhall—one of Suffolk’s most picturesque and sought-after villages—Honeysuckle Cottage presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a quintessential rural lifestyle within easy reach of the unspoilt Suffolk Heritage Coast.

Formerly two cottages and now a generous four-bedroom home, this charming property offers remarkable versatility. Whether you envision multi-generational living, an adjoining holiday let, or simply a wonderfully spacious family home, the accommodation adapts effortlessly to suit evolving needs. Beyond its traditional façade lies a home layered with character and authenticity.

You step into the gorgeous double-height breakfast room—a striking contemporary addition—flooded with natural light and framed by views across the garden and neighbouring fields. The adjoining kitchen, part of the Victorian extension, retains the soul of the original cottage with solid wood worktops, a pantry, and even the cast-iron bread oven that speaks to its heritage. The main sitting room provides a wonderful sense of calm, with exposed beams, timber floors and French doors opening onto the garden—perfect for summer days and relaxed entertaining. Elsewhere, the dining room with its wood burner and exposed brickwork leads through to the former kitchen, now a music room, along with a cloakroom and a double-height utility/boot room. A cosy snug with an open fireplace offers the ideal retreat for winter evenings.

Two staircases rise to the first floor, where four double bedrooms are arranged across the original footprint of the two cottages. Each bedroom enjoys distinct character features including exposed timbers and original stripped doors. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, offering scope to create an indulgent en-suite or dressing area if desired. With existing plans demonstrating how the house can function either as one large family home or two self-contained two-bedroom cottages, the flexibility here is compelling.

Set back from The Causeway and surrounded by handsome period homes, the property enjoys excellent privacy and a lovely outlook across open countryside. A wide brick-weave terrace spans the rear elevation and leads to a gently terraced south-facing garden, predominantly laid to lawn. Off-road parking, a single garage and a workshop complete the practicalities.

Location – Peasenhall & The Suffolk Heritage Coast

Peasenhall is adored for its welcoming community, artisan food shops, and charming high street—home to independent bakers, delis and a village store. Beautiful walking routes weave out toward rolling farmland, while the coast sits temptingly close. The village lies conveniently between Saxmundham and Halesworth, both offering a good selection of shops and cultural amenities, along with rail links to London via Ipswich.

Within a short drive are some of East Anglia’s most admired coastal destinations: the elegant pier and pastel-hued beach huts of Southwold, the peaceful shores of Walberswick, and the wild beauty of Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere. This is a location that perfectly blends rural tranquillity with the very best of Suffolk’s coastal lifestyle.
