Move the family to Honiton
For the chance to live somewhere which is family friendly and still
attractive enough to make living there a new and interesting
experience, much will need to be considered by homebuyers. These
include such aspects as schools, transport links, amenities and
perhaps a touch of culture and history.
One place which offers all of this can be found by those who are on
the lookout for
property for sale in Honiton. Honiton is a small town located
in East Devon near the River Otter, and situated just to the north
east of Exeter.
The fact that Exeter is only 17 miles away makes it ideal as a
location for those who want to commute into the city for work
purposes. It has its own rail station, so residents can find
themselves in Exeter in virtually no time at all. For those longer
trips, such as business meetings in London, the station is also
ideally located on the London to Exeter line.
For the children, Honiton has one secondary school and two primary
schools, which means that parents can rest assured that their kids
will have a good future in education.
It is also a relatively small town, which has a population of
around 11,000 people. This means that it will be a relatively safe
and quiet environment in which to bring up your children, without
the threat of fast moving traffic and millions of people.
And in terms of culture, the town still hosts a yearly event called
the Hot Pennies ceremony, which is a tribute to past customs of
nobles throwing warmed coins out of their windows to peasants, with
shops and businesses still doing the same once a year.
The event also features a performance from the town crier, to make
the whole experience seem more authentic and realistic.
