Smiths Gore, in Taunton, is marketing a number of properties which are ideally placed for businesses looking to rent local premises.

Broadwood Farmhouse, an 18th Century property in the heart of the Exmoor National Park, has huge potential to lend itself to a tourism or other diversified use (STP). The property includes a number of traditional buildings and is available with up to 10 acres of land. The second property is a Grade II Listed Georgian Farmhouse with a range of traditional farm buildings. Based in Crediton, just off the A377, the property was previously run as a traditional breeds centre and also includes a former cafe and a shop. Many of the other outbuildings are currently unconverted but offer scope for a variety of uses. Managing agent Lucy Back, said: “Both of these properties have huge potential and with more and more people realising the opportunities in the South West for rural businesses, we expect to see significant interest”

Outline business proposals are sought for each of the properties. Lucy Back can be contacted at Smiths Gore in Taunton on 01823 445035.
