High-specification holiday accommodation and fishery for sale in Suffolk
Nestled on the Suffolk/Norfolk border, Weybread Lakes presents a unique waterside holiday letting opportunity with impressive owner’s accommodation. This peaceful retreat occupies grounds of around 13 acres, with five luxurious lodges and a day-ticket carp fishery. The farmhouse is an attractive 5 bedroom period property and there is a further 3 bedroom annexe, as well as planning permission for an additional dwelling.
Set in its own grounds, Mill Lane Farmhouse is a stunning Grade ll listed building which is thought to date to the late 15th or early 16th century in parts. Sheltered beneath a part-tiled, part-thatched roof, the beautifully appointed accommodation features 5 bedrooms and retains many fine period features with exposed beams and original fireplaces. Finished to a very high standard throughout, the generous kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the home, with a spacious dining room, sitting room and a study.
Neighbouring the farmhouse is a substantial detached 3 bedroom annexe of timber construction, entered via a striking glass hallway. This leads into the spectacular open-plan kitchen/living/dining room with a vaulted ceiling and galleried landing, with a snug, TV room and shower room also on the ground floor. On the first floor are two ensuite bedrooms, a further bedroom, and another room accessible from the snug.
The profitable holiday accommodation comprises five timber lakeside lodges that offer contemporary comfort and a rustic retreat, each benefitting from a private jacuzzi hot tub and a Finnish sauna. Centred around one of two lakes which is only available to lodge guests, each timber cabin features a modern, open-plan interior and benefits from a private swim.
One of East Anglia’s most picturesque coarse-fishing venues, Weybread Carp Fishery operates on a day-ticket basis with the lake extending to 2.2 acres and predominantly stocked with big mirrors, common carp and a handful of ghost carp. With depths of up to 10ft and 9 purpose built swims, there are around 200 double figure carp with thirty in excess of 30lbs and several over 40lbs.
There are two well-maintained single storey outbuildings offering a combination of storage, a workshop, gym and staff room. To the north of the carp lake is a grass paddock and woodland spinney extending to approximately 2.4 acres. There may be potential for additional holiday accommodation on this land, subject to planning. There is a barn with Class Q planning permission granted for the conversion of the former poultry building to a 4 bedroom/2 bathroom property with open-plan ground floor accommodation.
