Set within one of Blakedown’s most sought-after addresses, The Honey Farm is a distinctive four-bedroom detached character home with a fascinating history.

Originally comprising two separate buildings - Rose Cottage (circa 1840) and a former blacksmith’s workshop with adjoining stables-the property was combined into a single dwelling in the 1950s. During the 1970s it is understood to have been used for honey production, giving rise to its charming name. In more recent years, the home has been thoughtfully updated and renovated to create the beautiful family residence seen today.

Ideally positioned in the heart of Blakedown, The Honey Farm enjoys close proximity to the highly regarded village primary school, nursery and local shop. The village train station offers excellent commuter links to Birmingham, Worcester and London Marylebone, while the surrounding Worcestershire countryside provides an abundance of scenic walks and outdoor pursuits.

Over the years the property has been lovingly transformed, The ground floor benefits from a variety of reception rooms, including a living room featuring a cosy log burner and original parquet flooring, an additional snug or playroom, a traditional dining room with original features, stunning open plan kitchen, and a dedicated study offering excellent flexibility for home working.

Accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming open-plan reception hallway with split-level steps leading down to the main living and kitchen areas, utility room, lounge, additional reception/playroom, dining room and office. To the first floor are four bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite to the principal bedroom.
