Honeywick House is a historic 18th-century Grade II listed country house nestled in a picturesque valley in Somerset.

The house features grand fireplaces, leaded windows, oak beamed ceilings, and well-proportioned rooms, including a stylish drawing room, dining room, and comfortable sitting room. The kitchen is equipped with a two-oven oil-fired Aga and features a banquette window seat with views of the garden. The property has four double bedrooms, three with their own bath or shower rooms, and a family bathroom. The annex, designed by Llewellyn Harker Howe, offers additional living space, including an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, and two double bedrooms. The property also features a two-storey stone cart house with potential for further living or utility space, as well as a Victorian-style lean-to glasshouse. The gardens are a highlight, designed by renowned garden designers Julian and Isabel Bannerman, and feature a parterre, oak pergola, and glasshouses. The property is set in a valley garden with mature trees, fruit trees, and a variety of plants, and offers a range of seating areas and a croquet lawn. The surrounding countryside is unspoiled and lightly wooded, and the nearby village of Castle Cary has a range of shops, boutiques, and regular markets.
