A superb established and profitable investment opportunity with a proven track record and future potential in an attractive Dorset country location.

Introduction - A premium holiday site with established income streams from index linked site fees together with two fully owned successful holiday letting barn conversions. Situated in the grounds of a former farmstead with outstanding southerly views, the site was developed in 2009 and has 14 privately owned quality holiday lodges and cottages. In the centre of the site, lies a former traditional stone piggery currently providing office, laundry and machinery storage. There is also potential for future development STP.

Situation - The site is gated with coded access. A gravel driveway runs centrally with the properties laid out informally on either side, with many retained character features including stone walls. The property lies approximately a mile from the popular village of Bradford Abbas within North West Dorset and close to the border with Somerset. The village has a good range of amenities including a Church, Primary School, Public House, Village Shop and Sports Centre. The historic abbey town of Sherborne is within 4 miles and Yeovil 3 miles both offering an excellent range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities. Mainline railway stations to Exeter and London Waterloo are also available from both towns.

The Business - There are currently three income streams, the first is ground rent for each lodge/cottage. The plot fees are reviewed annually in line with the Retail Price Index.
The two owned holiday cottages are let for holidays and have proved highly popular and produce significant income. The two cottages comprise:
Property 1 - 2 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sleeps 4
Property 2 - 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 2
Both cottages are finished to a very high standard with 5 star review ratings. They both include a hot tub and have ample parking and a sun deck at the front with views. There is also an electric vehicle charging point for the exclusive use for both holiday properties.
The third income stream is available from the tenant's property maintenance.
There is potential for further income from letting the tenant's properties.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
