Property description
Available for sale with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this amazing property is ideal for anyone looking for something a little different and would suit a single person or a couple wishing to downsize. Honeybourne itself benefits from having a MAINLINE RAILWAY STATION with trains running between Malvern and London Paddington, through Worcester and Oxford, and there is a thriving village community with a Village Hall, Honeybourne First School, convenience store, Fish and Chip shop and TWO EXCELLENT PUBS (The Gate, which has recently been refurbished and can hold small private functions, and the 13th Century Thatched Tavern, which hosts summer fêtes and quiz nights). Located close to the town of Evesham the village is also within easy reach of Stratford-upon-Avon and The Cotswolds so there are lovely walks on the doorstep. Although the property is Grade II Listed it is surprisingly light and airy giving it a spacious feel. The walls are 2.5 feet thick so the living room windows have deep stone sills.
