The pond was originally dug as a borrow pit, to make the ramps for the adjacent bridge. The pond itself is over a hundred years old. The pond has been dredged and desilted, it is between 4ft - 6ft deep, has 17 concreted fishing pegs and is stocked with common & mirror carp, roach, rudd, pike & tench.
The site is enclosed by a post and rail fence, with a private gated access into a hardstanding parking area with a CCTV system. Planning Permission The fishery benefits from previous lapsed planning permission for the siting of 2 holiday accommodation pods, granted on 21st November 2022 under reference 22/0912/FUL. Full details of the application can be found at: applications/simpleSearchResults.do?action=firstPage

This fishing lake and holiday-pod site benefits from its exceptional proximity to Anglian Water's proposed new Lincolnshire Reservoir, planned to be located approximately 7 km south-east of Sleaford (halfway between Grantham and Boston).

The reservoir is being designed to store about 55 million cubic metres of water over a surface area of roughly 5 km, with the capacity to supply water for up to 500,000 homes (approximately 160-166 million litres per day).

Beyond water supply, the project includes a significant construction phase: including earthworks, embankments, pipelines, pumping stations, access roads and other infrastructure.
Having the lake and holiday pods so close means you are ideally placed to benefit not only from the long-term recreational and amenity gains (wetlands, wildlife, leisure access, trails, lagoons etc.) that the reservoir proposal promises, but also from the short- and medium-term demand for accommodation. During the construction phase of the reservoir works, large workforce numbers will be deployed to the area. The pods that could be on this site could serve as valuable accommodation for those workers providing strong income potential well before the reservoir becomes fully operational.

In summary: this isn't just a leisure/fishing site it's a strategic investment adjoining major infrastructure, benefiting from both leisure tourism and construction-phase lodging demand, with the potential for enhanced property value as the wider reservoir development becomes established.

The current owner purchased the lake with the vision of creating a leisure venue with holiday pods and has already invested in the development of the business. As part of this, a professionally designed holiday booking website has been created and will be included in the sale. This gives the new owners a significant head start, saving both time and expense, and allowing them to immediately benefit from an established, ready-to-use online presence to market the site and attract bookings, once the development is finished.
