So who would like to live the 'good life'??? I am at present trying to sort out buying a 50acre farm in South Norfolk. It also comes with a 200yr old, 6 bed farmhouse & fishing rights to an 860ft dyke. (Will need a summer work-party to get it sorted, will post request nearer the time. Free food & drink on the day, plus a year's free fishing for all who help) Fishing, farming & to be my own boss, who could want more???? Apparently I qualify for several rural development grants & long term business low interest or 'angel' loans. So if all comes off, I will have a huge party there next summer (2015), as it will take at least a year to get the place up to scratch & running. OK so only 50 acres, but enough for a selection of products &the chance of a farm-shop. It also has a nice east facing slope, I feel a winery coming. Will do a selection of 'top fruit' (trees) & soft fruit as well as chickens, ducks, geese & nice slow grown turkeys for egg & meat sales. Also pigs are planned as good meat sales, along with goats for meat & milk, cream, cheese. I hope to negotiate with other local farmers/producers to sell their produce in the shop, to increase what will be in the shop. The farm site is at :- http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-43847402.html But the real work will be getting the house liveable again. I found a site showing pics from inside at :- http://adamx1976.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/explore-1-rock-n-roll-farm-norfolk-august-2013/ As you will see it is a mess, but at 200yrs old & still standing it must be well built. See what you think & please reply.
