LOCATION Horrabridge is an ancient village on the western fringes of the Dartmoor National Park, situated on the banks of River Walkham and was once the principal crossing point from Plymouth to Tavistock. Horrabridge is an extremely attractive village with many character properties, is situated on a well-known cycle trail and is considered an attractive village to both live and work. We understand that the village has a primary school, various organisations which cater for all age groups, two public houses, a shop/post office, a bakery and, of course, the Award-winning Fish & Chip Shop. THE PROPERTY/BUSINESS We understand that the property was built in circa mid-1970s and has traded as a fish and chip shop business since that time, has been in our clients tenure for the past 12 years who are now selling due to personal commitments.
