A MARVELLOUS opportunity to run a thriving business in an idyllic setting presents itself with joint agents Greenslade Taylor Hunt and The Business Partnership.

Redlake Farm at Littleton, near Somerton, has plenty to offer and the scope to expand an already successful business. It includes holiday lodges, a caravan park and fishing lake. Offers in the region of £1.2 million are invited for the property and business.

Mandy and Barry Popham set it up from scratch four years ago, but now want to move to be closer to their daughter and young family.

“We love it, but it needs new energy to take it to the next level,” said Mandy.

The site is extremely popular with repeat business, including for the “Love Shack” – this provides glamping on the edge of the lake. The romantic accommodation features a double bed and no electricity in a superb setting and rents out for £65 a night.

Currently there are three new holiday lodges with hot tubs on site, which enjoy high occupancy levels even in low season – 80% in April – and bookings into next year.

The local planning authority is supportive of further development on the site and another six lodges could easily be added. Indeed there is a shortage of good quality holiday accommodation in the area.

Likewise there is planning consent to create a farm shop as another potentially lucrative income stream. There is no immediate competition in the area and the site entrance enjoys good visibility and ample parking.

Duncan Brown, Commercial Partner with Greenslade Taylor Hunt, said: “This wonderful property offers a couple, with or without extended family, a great opportunity for a lifestyle change. Our clients' established business is thriving and offers a number of opportunities to significantly increase turnover. We would strongly advise a viewing.”
