An exciting and rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique woodland and lakeside retreat, extending to approximately 9.7 acres, offering an established holiday letting business with three beautifully presented timber lodges, a private fishing lake, extensive woodland and riverside walks, together with further development potential.<br/><br/>Formerly a quarry, the site has remained in the same family ownership for approximately 40 years and has been extensively transformed and enhanced over the last 11 years to create an idyllic countryside escape. The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped and developed, taking full advantage of the naturally sheltered setting, established woodland and picturesque surroundings.<br/><br/>Positioned around the attractive private fishing lake are three substantial, well-constructed timber holiday lodges, each providing comfortable and beautifully maintained accommodation with its own veranda overlooking the water and surrounding countryside. The lodges offer welcoming open-plan living accommodation with vaulted ceilings and exposed timber beams, creating a warm and characterful environment perfectly suited to holidaymakers seeking a peaceful rural retreat.<br/><br/>The site has operated as a successful holiday letting business, attracting approximately 100–120 stays per annum across the three lodges. A substantial proportion of bookings are now generated through returning guests, with the business benefiting from an established reputation and excellent online reviews. This provides an appealing opportunity for purchasers seeking an existing lifestyle business with potential to further develop and expand its offering.<br/><br/>In addition to the established accommodation, planning permission has been granted for a further two units, offering an opportunity to increase the existing holiday letting capacity. There may also be scope for additional lodges, glamping accommodation or yurts, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.<br/><br/>The surrounding grounds are a particularly special feature of the property, with an extensive network of pathways winding through the woodland and alongside the river, providing opportunities to enjoy the natural surroundings and abundance of wildlife. The private fishing lake provides a wonderful focal point for the development, with the lodges positioned to enjoy views across the water.<br/><br/>This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautifully established rural holiday retreat, combining an existing income-generating business with approximately 9.9 acres of picturesque Devon countryside and exciting potential for further development.<br/><br/> Waldon Valley Lodges occupies a peaceful rural setting on the site of a former working quarry, conveniently situated near the popular village of Bradworthy, which offers a range of everyday amenities including a traditional village pub.
