Honington, Shipston-On-Stour, CV36

The Old School is a turn of the century converted village school on the edge of the desirable picturesque village of Honington. A short drive from the bustling market town of Shipston-on-Stour, with its wealth of upmarket independent shops.

The Old School, although fully habitable, requires some modernisation and offers potential to extend and/or convert existing internal areas (subject to relevant consents).

We arrive at the property through wooden gates flanked by brick pillars onto a gravel drive that offers ample parking and leads to the garage. Entering the property through the glazed front door, we arrive in a generous hallway with stairs leading up to the first floor. To our right, a snug/home office with its dual aspect and log burner. A Further door leads out at the other end of the room close to the kitchen so this room could also serve as a dining room. Returning to the hall to our left, the Drawing room again with windows to two walls, and in the corner of the room, a Victorian open fireplace. Back in the entrance hall, a useful understairs cupboard, downstairs loo, and a walk-in pantry can be found near the entrance to the kitchen. The kitchen to the rear of the property has a full-size blue oil-fired Aga, solid wood fitted units and a butlers sink; there is also room for a table. Off the kitchen, a small conservatory offers further space to relax. Leading off the kitchen is the Utility room where we also find the back door, a further door to the rear, and double doors into the garage come workshop. Upstairs, off the landing to the right, a shower room and single bedroom. To the left, a further single bedroom and a generous double bedroom. To the rear and over the kitchen, the Principal bedroom with fitted cupboards and an en-suite bathroom. Accessed by metal stairs at the rear of the garage is the Annex. In the Annex is a large room with Kitchenette and a separate bathroom. This would make an excellent home office or holiday let.

The Garden is surrounded by a mixed native hedge, there is a fenced chicken run with fruit trees, concrete yard area to the rear, the driveway, and large areas of lawn. There is also a flag stone patio near the back door and on the field side, a thatched bar/outdoor kitchen, and above ground swimming pool. There are useful sheds and two greenhouses.

Honington is a very attractive village with chocolate-box period houses in a mixture of local stone, local brick and black and white timber frame. There is also the Honington Hall estate with its country house of architectural note. A classical stone bridge spans the river and there are many footpaths for rural walks. In nearby Shipston-on-Stour, just a five minute drive, a wealth of quality independent shops, supermarket, leisure centre, schools and pubs and eateries. Stratford-Upon-Avon is also only a twenty minute drive. Train connections can be found nearby at Moreton-in-Marsh and Banbury. The M40 is also a short drive.
