Built in the Tudor period, this is a true picture-book cottage. Located in the lovely village of Peasenhall and close to the sea at Southwold and Dunwich, it is the perfect base for exploring the Suffolk coast.

This beautiful period cottage in the peaceful rural village of Peasenhall is ideal for couples looking for a quiet holiday in the countryside in Suffolk while still being close to the coastal attractions.

Dating back to Tudor times, this timber framed property, set over two levels, is full of character. As you enter you will notice the striking period features including beamed ceilings, an inglenook fireplace and beautiful traditional Suffolk brick flooring. All this history has been elegantly fused with contemporary comforts to ensure a wonderful stay. The charming open-plan living area is a sociable space for dining or simply chilling together and watching TV. A wood burner ensures you stay cosy all year round.
