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 the relevant consent).

We arrive at the property though 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 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 walk in pantry can be found near the entrance to the kitchen. The kitchen to the rear of the property has a full sized 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 also 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 attractive 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 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.

All properties sold by conditional auction are sold subject to a reservation fee which is clearly stated in the terms and conditions attached to the property and in the bidding box before a bid is placed.
