**Property Description:**
This is a unique opportunity to own a business that offers holiday accommodation in the form of four Canadian-style lodges, nestled on the water's edge in a picturesque 8.77-acre setting in North Devon. The property is situated 5 miles from the beautiful North Devon coastline, offering a tranquil retreat in a rural countryside environment, yet it is conveniently located for access to the A39, known as the Atlantic Highway, which provides easy access to both North Devon and North Cornwall.
The lodges are spread across two areas with a communal car park and offer stunning views over the two well-stocked lakes, which are rich in coarse fish such as Carp, Tench, Rudd, Roach, and Golden Orfe. The larger lake covers 0.7 acres and features a fishing jetty with 6 pegs and an island, while the smaller lake is 0.28 acres with an island and 5 pegs. Both lakes are connected by an equalising pipe and are currently fished exclusively by the guests staying at the lodges.
The mature woodland surrounding the lakes is home to a variety of native trees and provides nature trails for guests to explore, with the ground flora including wild daffodils, wild garlic, primrose, bluebells, and orchids.
The lodges themselves are finished to a high standard with double glazing, central heating, and modern interiors. Kingfisher and Heron Lodges each have a veranda, balcony, and a covered hot tub area, sleeping up to 5 guests across a king-size bedroom with en-suite and a twin bedroom with views over the lake. Moorhen and Mallard Lodges, built in 2010, offer similar amenities and sleep up to 6 guests, with an additional shower room.
The property also includes a timber laundry building equipped with power, lighting, two tumble dryers, a fridge-freezer, toilet, and sink. This setup caters well to the operational needs of the lodges.
The location offers easy access to local amenities, including the Coach & Horses pub in Buckland Brewer, the nearest village, and Great Torrington, which provides a range of shops, restaurants, and
