AMAZING SPACES From ancient, weathered beams and exposed brickwork to a secret library door revealing a hideaway, every corner of this home tells a story and with modern luxury woven seamlessly throughout, this home is as comfortable as it is captivating and offers an atmosphere of refined country living, wrapped in character, warmth, and architectural drama.   STEP INSIDE Stepping into a thoughtful porch, there is space to decamp muddy boots after a country stroll, such a necessity in a country residence. From here you enter a stunning kitchen with practical slate floor, bespoke window shutters, crafted cabinets blending with beams, plus modern double fan ovens, an induction hob, and space for an American-style fridge freezer, allowing chefs all they need to cook up a family feast, with a large table to enjoy casual dining. It's a favourite spot in summer, remaining cool yet light - the perfect place to escape the heat of the day. The cloakroom is just to the side, and from the kitchen you step into the vast, vaulted reception room, with magnificent beam work and thoughtfully zoned spaces. A book nook or library area, with two armchairs perfectly positioned for morning papers and garden views, sits alongside a formal dining area enjoying picture window vistas of the grounds and a log burner. A music zone and a cosy sofa section by a further fireplace, overlooking trees and shrubs, make this the go-to spot in winter. The impressive fireplace runs floor to ceiling with exposed brickwork and a small staircase leading to a minstrel's gallery. To the right of the sofas is cupboard space known as the priest's bolt hole. This vaulted space is wonderfully light, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and makes a fabulous entertaining area when family and friends come together for celebrations.  EVERYBODY WELCOME A converted barn cottage is also included, currently used as a bespoke working from home space, and conveniently separated from the main house keeping the work life balance intact. The office space would make a superb gym. Being north facing, into the walled courtyard, it is always a pleasantly cool and private space in summer. The kitchen, shower room and bedroom make it ideal for guests or multigenerational lifestyles and is accessible for those requiring one level living with the office becoming a sitting/dining area. If looking for ancillary income there is potential for premium holiday accommodation, subject to planning of course.   SLEEPING SOUNDLY In the barn, cleverly separated from the social spaces, the three ground-floor bedrooms (one currently used for home working) all offer access to outside terraces with peaceful views. The study and guest bedroom, with its own en suite complete with underfloor heating, open out onto a terrace, created by the current owners to make the most of morning sun. The principal bedroom boasts his and hers sinks and tasteful, high end décor offering a serene, spa like ambience. The private terrace off this bedroom faces south and is used by the current owners anytime from lunchtime onwards to chase the sun – imagine sitting here with a G&T overlooking woodland and listening to birdsong. Stairs from the dining end of the great room lead to a landing, ideal as a spot for peaceful ironing, and leads via library shelving to a secret hideaway. This makes an ideal teenager's den, large enough for bed, desk, and social space and with its own private bathroom and it also lends itself well as a nursery suite for visiting families with young children.  STEP OUTSIDE Nestled within a generous, mature plot the property enjoys a tranquil country garden with established trees and natural privacy. The current owners added a new driveway sweeping round to a walled courtyard and double garage and have create defined areas within the gardens. An established pond attracts a variety of nature at the far end of the grounds, whilst mature woodland, where a hammock swings between trees in summer, offers a different atmosphere. In the working part of the garden, raised beds for grow your own veggies and a spectacular dahlia bed provide a feast for the senses in the warmer months with the smell of herbs and colourful floral displays. The whole grounds are enclosed making it a safe haven for children and pets. The courtyard has an inner gate too, ideal when wanting to keep the menagerie a little closer to hand.   ON THE DOORSTEP Nestled on the beautiful Suffolk Coast, Hollesley is a thriving village benefiting from a friendly pub that serves food, a garage for car servicing, a Morrisons shop, a post office, and a well-regarded village primary school. The active village hall offers regular events and seasonal get-togethers, and also produces a community magazine. Alderton, just five minutes away, provides a highly regarded GP surgery. Nearby Woodbridge boasts an Ofsted-rated 'Outstanding' secondary school, Farlingaye High, and the sought-after independent Woodbridge School.   HOW FAR IS IT TO The surrounding area offers much to enjoy whatever you're looking for - village pubs in nearby villages, fine dining at The Unruly Pig in Bromeswell and The Greyhound in Pettistree, and cultural gems like Snape Maltings, Sutton Hoo, and the Suffolk Heritage Coast (with pretty towns like Southwold and Aldeburgh to explore). Outdoor nature lovers benefit from unspoilt landscapes and Rendlesham Forest, which offer endless opportunities for walking and cycling, while the River Deben presents opportunities for sailing. For commuters, Melton and Woodbridge offer rail links to Ipswich and London Liverpool Street (just 90 minutes away).  DIRECTIONS Continuing along Heath Road from Woodbridge go past RAF Woodbridge, signposted towards Hollesley, continue this straight stretch, driving through the forest and open commons, without turning off at any of the smaller side roads. Continue following the signs into Hollesley, turn right onto The Street following the road until it becomes Alderton Rd just over a small hump-back bridge. Turn right onto Bushey Lane, follow this to the end of the lane and The Old Barn House is the last property on the righthand side.

SITUATION & LOCATION Believed to date in part from the medieval period, Honeysuckle Farm-formerly known as Dagwood Farmhouse-is a truly enchanting Grade II listed thatched residence, set well back from the road within an exceptional private setting.

Beyond, far-reaching views stretch across open countryside and farmland, while the historic village moat, which runs along side the eastern boundary to the property, attracts an abundance of wildlife and enhances the overall sense of peace and seclusion. Honeysuckle Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of considerable character and historical significance, offering privacy and charm without compromising on convenience. The property lies within easy reach of the well-served village of Elmswell, with its range of local amenities, as well as nearby market towns. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the setting and lifestyle on offer. Elmswell itself is a thriving Suffolk village, ideally positioned approximately eight miles east of the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, five miles north-west of Stowmarket and within convenient reach of Ipswich and London. The village benefits from a railway station on the Ipswich to Ely line, along with excellent access to the A14, making it well connected for both commuting and leisure. Rich in history, Elmswell is referenced in the Domesday Book of 1086, its name derived from the Old English elm and wella, meaning a spring or stream where elm trees grow. Among its notable landmarks is the impressive St John the Divine Church, dating back to the 14th century, alongside the iconic Elmswell Windmill, a rare surviving example from the early 19th century. Today, Elmswell offers a welcoming and vibrant community, with a range of local shops, pubs and amenities, as well as regular events such as the annual Elmswell Show. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, it provides an impressive balance of rural charm and modern convenience, making it a highly desirable place to call home.   ENTRANCE HALL With Oak entrance door to front and rear; exposed beams, joists and stud work; radiator; ceramic tiled floor.  THE SNUG 13' 1 x 16' 9 (4.00m x 5.12m) Inglenook brick fireplace with Bessemer beam and brick hearth incorporating wood burning stove, double aspect windows, oak floor, radiator.  DRAWING ROOM 16' 11 x 15' 5 (5.16m x 4.72m) With part glazed oak entrance door; exposed joists, beams and stud work; beautiful open brick fireplace with brick hearth, grate and fire canopy; triple aspect windows with secondary glazing; three radiators; wall lights; oak flooring.  DINING ROOM 10' 11 x 17' 4 (3.34m x 5.30m) Exposed beams, joists and stud work; secondary glazing to double aspect windows; two radiators; fitted carpet.  KITCHEN 9' 7 x 14' 11 (2.94m x 4.56m) Fitted range of bespoke handmade cabinets with beech block work surfaces over incorporating Butler sink with mixer tap and filtered water tap; slot-in range master electric oven with extractor/expelaire above; recess for small fridge/freezer; larder cupboards with shelving; exposed joists, beam and stud work; windows to front and rear aspect; ceramic tiled floor.  UTILITY ROOM 8' 2 x 14' 2 (2.50m x 4.34m) Butler sink and plumbing for washing machine; space for tall fridge freezer; wall mounted gas fire boiler (serving central heating and domestic hot water); fitted storage cupboards with shelving; exposed joists and stud work; radiator; ceramic tile floor; secondary staircase leading to first floor; door to outside.  SHOWER ROOM 2' 7 x 7' 5 (0.80m x 2.28m) With tiled shower cubicle and plumbed-in shower, W.C and hand basin; ceramic tiled floor.

Extensively laid to lawn, the grounds are interspersed with a rich tapestry of mature deciduous and evergreen trees, including striking magnolias that bring early seasonal interest, while established shrubs and carefully curated borders provide colour and texture throughout the year. In spring, drifts of naturalised bulbs emerge beneath the trees, creating a picturesque scene alive with movement and colour. Vehicular access is off Ashfield Road over a long private shingled driveway which leads to a five bar field gate through which the driveway continues into the formal gardens. A shingled parking area provides good parking and leads to a useful timber framed single cart lodge. The garden has been thoughtfully designed to balance open, sun-drenched spaces with areas of dappled shade, perfectly suited to both relaxation and entertaining. A favourable south-westerly aspect ensures the grounds enjoy sunlight well into the evening, enhancing the sense of tranquillity and connection with the surrounding landscape. Wildlife is naturally drawn to this peaceful haven, with birdsong and pollinators adding to the charm of the setting. The result is a beautifully established and secluded garden that complements the historic character of the property while offering a serene and ever-changing outdoor environment.  SERVICES All mains services connected.
