Welcome to the Burracombe series by Lilian Harry... I inhale them like crack... all set in a postwar idyll. The Bells of Burracombe is the first.

The Aunt Dimity books are lovely: www.aunt-dimity.com/aunt-dimitys-death.html

The Agatha Raisin books b MC Beaton are quite good on village life (but with murders) Also Agatha Christie, and of course Jilly Cooper!

The Thrush Green books by Miss Read are lovely and gentle and all about village life. Possibly quite dated now (haven't read them for years), but I enjoyed them.
