Enjoying a prominent position in the heart of Honey Tye, this distinctive former post office and village store offers an impressive blend of period character and versatile, well-proportioned accommodation. Extended and thoughtfully arranged across two floors, the property provides generous living space, with scope for multi-generational living or home-based working. Set back with ample off-road parking, the house also benefits from a private rear garden with views across surrounding farmland.

The ground floor offers a series of well-defined, characterful spaces that balance comfort with practicality. At the front of the house, the living room is arranged around a central fireplace with inset log burner and features a traditional sash window and decorative cornicing. Adjacent is the dining room, a light-filled room with French doors opening to the garden, offering direct access for entertaining or family gatherings.
Set to the rear of the property, the kitchen provides an extensive range of units with wooden worktops and ample preparation space, while an adjoining utility room offers further storage and access to the rear garden. A separate study provides an ideal home office or quiet reading space. The conservatory is located to the side of the house and offers year-round enjoyment of the garden, with excellent natural light.
Also located on the ground floor is a versatile double bedroom, benefitting from a modern wet room-style ensuite, ideal for guests, extended family or single-level living. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, each enjoying a pleasant outlook and retaining individual character.
The principal suite occupies one end of the house and features a spacious double bedroom, a dedicated dressing room with built-in double wardrobes with sliding mirrored doors, and a stylish ensuite shower room finished in a contemporary design.
The remaining bedrooms are served by a generously sized family bathroom, which includes a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower, and traditional-style fittings. The layout provides flexibility for growing families, guests, or those requiring additional workspace.
The property is set back from the road behind a gravelled parking area, providing ample off-road parking. To the rear, a generous garden extends away from the house, offering a mix of paved terrace and lawn bordered by established trees and fencing. The outdoor space enjoys a high degree of privacy and is well-suited to both entertaining and family use and enjoys open views across the surrounding countryside providing a scenic backdrop throughout the seasons.
