The main attraction of this property is its three fishing lakes.
Currently operating on a membership-only basis, the fishery has a membership of more than 300.
Bear Estate Agents wrote: “Despite minimal investment and advertising, the business maintains a robust membership of 300 plus and offers additional income streams through horse grazing and pegging fees from matches.”
The lakes are fully equipped with electricity, year-round water filling systems, aerators, and winter circulation systems for all-year-round usability.

Accessibility features include designated parking, two disabled bays, and a large disabled swim.
Situated near the main residence, Lake One is fully enclosed with a gated entrance, a wraparound walkway, guest toilets, and visitor parking bays.
Lake Two, also accessible via a gated front entrance, features a wraparound path and two central islands.
A further path leads to Lake Three, which offers additional fishing spots.

The lakes present excellent opportunities for development, including the addition of resting bays, pods, or entertainment facilities due to the ample space between the lakes and the property boundaries.
The fishery business has untapped potential for expansion, with options to introduce day tickets, bait and food sales, lake hire, fishing tuition, and holiday accommodations.
Bear Estate Agents added: “With ample space for future development and an unrivalled location, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance.”
