Live the quiet life in a market town
The sort of life that can be brought about by living in a more
rural area is something which will be appealing to many people,
especially those who are trying to raise their family somewhere
quieter than in the big city, or for older people who have lived
their life working in urban areas and now want to live in a place
with less hustle and bustle.
If this is true for you, why not look for
property for sale in Honiton?
Honiton is a civil parish and market town which is located in
Devon, near to the larger dwelling of Exeter. The fact that it has
only around 12,000 residents means that people who are planning to
move to the town can expect a very quiet and relaxing way of
life.
The town is perfect for those who are moving with their families,
as it offers some great facilities both in and out of school terms
so that parents can be happy with where they are sending their
kids.
In terms of schools, Honiton is served by two primary schools and
one secondary school. The fact that the latter also has a sixth
form means that parents can rest assured that their kids can
complete the whole of their education without having to travel to
do so.
And leisure activities will also be important for those times when
the kids are out of school. During the holidays, parents can take
their offspring to the local sports centre, where they can take
part in many sports, as well as swimming.
On top of this, Honiton is also a popular place for those who want
to really soak up the countryside lifestyle. It contains a range of
local shops and booksellers, as well as playing host to more than
20 antiques retailers, allowing people to indulge in a new kind of
shopping.
There are also local customs to partake in, such as the Hot Pennies
ceremony, whereby the town crier will start off proceedings, and
people can see hot pennies thrown from a number of balconies to
symbolise a time when this was common practice in the
town.
