A peaceful and tranquil established holiday lodge and camping/touring business with planning to expand, as well as over 8 acres of grounds including 2 fishing lakes.

Introduction - Beautifully situated in a tranquil location on the edge of the hamlet of Woodacott, the property lies within attractive well managed grounds. The business has been well established in recent years with significant business turnover from the 5 current holiday chalets, as well as use of the club house/bar for food events and functions. In addition the 6 electric and 2 non electric touring pitches offer further diversification of income.

There is significant potential for growth within the current planning permissions in place as well as further potential to add a glamping enterprise within the attractive grounds, subject to the necessary consents.

Situation - The property lies just 4 miles from the bustling market town of Holsworthy which provides an attractive range of local amenities including a panier market and Waitrose supermarket. Bude, 13 miles, offers fabulous beaches, with renowned surfing, including Widemouth Bay and Summerleaze. The Atlantic highway (A39) is 12 miles and the A30 dual carriageway at Liftondown 17 miles, both providing excellent access routes for guests and to get out and explore this North Devon/Cornwall boarder coastline and countryside.

The Lodges - The lodges are split into 3 traditionally built bungalows and 2 'Park' style homes. A 6th 'Park' style home is currently allocated as owner's accommodation, but could also be let for holidays. Of the 6, 3 are 2 bedroomed with 2 bathrooms, 1, 2 bedrooms with 1 bathroom and 2 are 3 bedroomed with 1 bathroom. Spacious and fully furnished they can be used year-round for holidays.

Camping/Touring Pitches - Planning is in place for 6 touring pitches with electric hookups and a single safari tent.

Planning Consent - Planning consent was given in September 2021 for 2 further holiday lodges and 1 for permanent manager/owners accommodation. This would expand the business substantially and provide a larger owners/managers residence within the grounds. Planning reference 1/0813/2021/OUT.

Further potential exists, subject to the necessary consents, for glamping units, shepherds Huts or yurts for example, on the land at the far end of the site overlooking the lower lake.

Clubhouse/Functions Building - This spacious building provides important extra revenue potential. It comprises reception/dining space, lounge with licensed bar and adjoining deck and garden area, commercial kitchen and toilet facilities. There is also a guest laundry with showers for the camping/touring pitches. To the rear is a redundant indoor swimming pool. The club house offers many opportunities to grow the business and the owners have hosted many food event nights as well as providing rental for private functions. The clubhouse also has potential as a community facility for local events and has already been used as the polling station in elections.

Grounds And Land - Extending to 8.66 acres the property provides generous space and natural surroundings to enjoy its country setting. The entrance drive is hard surfaced, then splitting between the Holiday Park and clubhouse and touring pitches. A Large graveled parking area leads to the clubhouse and the children's enclosed play area. Generous, well-manicured grounds are laid to lawn with inset trees and shrubs. Beyond this are chicken and animal enclosures, a steel-framed and clad outbuilding, further open-fronted storage barn, a small copse plantation and a large attractive fishing lake. Beyond this is an open paddock with further lake (both lakes are fully stocked with fish) and a galvanize clad storage building and animal shelter in the corner. From here a gate leads into the separate paddock with separate road access through an adjoining gate.

Outgoings - The business ratable value is £10,000, although currently exempt.
