The house was located on 400 acres of farmland just south of the Gingin Brook and a few kilometres from Gingin. It is a brick home with all except the front wall plastered and dispays sash windows, quoins, an iron roof and a bull nose verandah. There are four main rooms about 15 ft square with fireplaces. There is a wide passage down the centre and a back verandah (enclosed). There are big steps at the rear and more steps going down to a small cellar. There is an old toilet near the back steps and a side verandah used as a garage. The roof is unusual with a 'U' shaped hip. The front verandah is 6ft wide with posts unevenly spaced.
The house was built for Hamlet Jones when he married Sarah Rosa Clinch in 1893. Sarah died in 1899 and the property was bought by J.V.A. Jones, Hamlet's brother. Honeycomb was leased by Mr Cornish in 1907. J.VA. Jones sold it to R.F. Cooper in 1936 and he eventually sold it to Alec Collett. The property has been sold several times since and is presently owned by Roly Read.
It has been thoroughly restored and is used as a private residence.
