Description

An outstanding holiday lodge investment and lifestyle opportunity, with expansion potential, set in approximately 1.78 acres, including two timber lodges, established access and infrastructure, together with planning permission for additional holiday lodges, all enjoying outstanding elevated views over surrounding countryside.

Description - Halls are delighted to offer Brynallt Country Park, Welsh Frankton, near Ellesmere, for sale by private treaty.

Brynallt Country Park presents an outstanding leisure and tourism opportunity comprising an established holiday lodge site extending to approximately 1.78 acres, together with two timber lodges, private access and infrastructure, and the benefit of planning permission for an additional 7 holiday lodges.

The property enjoys a particularly appealing elevated setting with far-reaching countryside views, whilst remaining conveniently located just a short distance from the North Shropshire Lakeland town of Ellesmere.

The site offers purchasers a number of potential opportunities including continuing to operate the existing holiday lodge business, expanding the lodge accommodation subject to the benefit of the existing planning consent, or creating a private countryside retreat with income potential.

A site viewing is essential to fully appreciate this rare opportunity.

Lodge Accommodation - The site currently includes two timber lodges designed to provide comfortable holiday accommodation within a peaceful countryside setting.

The original cedar lodge has been successfully operated as a holiday let for a number of years and has generated consistent visitor demand.

A second, more recently constructed lodge of a similar size but finished to a more contemporary specification provides additional high-quality accommodation and enhances the site's income potential.

Both lodges are positioned to enjoy attractive views across the surrounding countryside and provide private accommodation within the wider site.

Site & Land - The property extends in all to approximately 1.78 acres.

The site is approached via a private drive leading to an established access track passing through double opening gates and continuing through attractive grounds to the lodge area.

The land is very well laid out with open grassland, mature trees and natural boundaries, creating a particularly pleasant setting for holiday accommodation.

Planning Permission - Full planning permission was granted for the erection of nine timber holiday lodges together with associated access and drainage infrastructure.

Planning Reference: NS/06/02150/FUL.

The planning consent originally provided for six two-storey lodges and three single-storey lodges positioned on the eastern side of the site.

Works previously carried out include formation of the access track, installation of drainage infrastructure and construction of several concrete bases.

Interested parties should make their own enquiries with Shropshire Council Planning Department regarding the status and implementation of the planning permission.

Situation - Brynallt Country Park is situated on the outskirts of the hamlet of Welsh Frankton approximately 2 miles from Ellesmere within the popular North Shropshire Lakeland area.

The market town of Ellesmere provides a range of local amenities whilst the surrounding countryside and meres make the area particularly attractive to visitors and holidaymakers.

The property is conveniently located within commuting distance of Ellesmere, Llangollen, Shrewsbury and Chester.
