Description:

A WELL LOCATED RURAL SMALLHOLDING OFFERING A WELL PRESENTED 4 BEDROOM ATTACHED FARMHOUSE AND LAND EXTENDING TO 34 ACRES (APPROX) INCORPORATING A CHICKEN BUSINESS WITH A FURTHER 26 ACRES AVAILABLE BY SEPARATE NEGOTIATION

SITUATION
Horridge is located at the end of a long private driveway in a rural location close to the small village of Romansleigh (or Rumonsleigh) which is also a parish. The village stands on the top of a hill with wonderful views across to Exmoor and is bounded on the north-east by the old Roman road. South Molton is about 4.5 miles away and has become a thriving trade centre for art and antiques. Part of the Guildhall houses the glass roofed pannier market where in the past farmers and traders sold their wares from panniers carried in from the countryside. Although tables have now replaced panniers it is still possible to purchase homemade cakes, bread, jams and local produce. Markets are held on Thursday and Saturday mornings.
