Occupying a commanding position overlooking the green in the heart of the picturesque village of Honington, Shoemakers Cottage is an exceptional Grade II listed home, believed to date back to the late 17th Century, with later additions. Understood to once have been two Yeoman's cottages, the property evolved to become both the village cobbler's and post office, and then into one family home.

Having been lovingly maintained and sympathetically improved by the current owners over the past 20 years, the property blends historic, period charm with modern family living, providing generous and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors.

The reception hall is inviting, complete with flag stone flooring and a log burning stove, immediately conveying this homes warm character. The drawing room is a particularly beautiful space, with dual aspect, stone mullion windows, exposed beams and an impressive inglenook with open fire place. The kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home, featuring an Aga and range of integrated appliances, spacious and light filled with a wonderful outlook on to the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a generous dining room and a study/ home office with further flexibility. The property also benefits from a utility/ boot room and downstairs cloakroom, providing practicality, perfect for country living.

The first floor has a principal bedroom which enjoys views over the green, and is facilitated by a well-appointed bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms, one with en suite; spacious landing, and an additional family bathroom. The second floor offers an impressive fourth bedroom, a study area and access to a spacious loft room, which holds potential for further development (subject to the relevant consents.)

Outside is set within a remarkable plot of about 1.16acres, abutting farmland and rolling Warwickshire countryside beyond. The gardens unfold into a series of beautifully maintained spaces including a formal lawned garden with a profusion of flower and shrub borders, and mature trees; a paved patio area perfect for alfresco dining and summer entertaining, a charming wooded area, orchard and vegetable patch, and fabulous glass house too, creating a private and peaceful oasis. To the front, electric gates open to a gravelled driveway with a two bay open fronted garage and ample off road parking.
