Detailed Description

A stunning development opportunity which consists of circa 53 acres of land surrounded by a 130 acre lake. Full planning permission has been granted to provide high quality holiday accommodation in the form of 53 Mobile Holiday Homes and 48 Holiday Lodges which benefit from a 12 month consent together with a reception/managers unit. This planning was made live and confirmed by North Kesteven District Council.

Certain areas around the perimeter of the lake have received stone and gravel from the lake in order to provide all weather surfaced tracks whilst a 63 mm mains water supply is available on site and a 500 KVa 3 phase electrical supply is in place.

The property enjoys excellent access from the A1 and A46 yet provides an extremely tranquil and unusually secluded natural environment with delightful vistas that can only be truly appreciated from viewing the site.

Location

Thurlby Lake is located just off the A46 which runs from the
A1 near Newark on Trent to the City of Lincoln and then on to the East Coast. The nearby village of Witham St Hughes has good local amenities, including a public house, takeaways, primary school and a small supermarket. A wider range of facilities are found in the Cathedral City of Lincoln to the north west and market town of Newark on Trent to the West.

The location provides an ideal base for exploring the area including the historic City of Lincoln which boasts a magnificent Cathedral, Castle and Bailgate area as well as thriving City Centre. Further afield the Lincolnshire Wolds which are classed as an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) and offers some beautiful places to walk and explore along side the ever popular Lincolnshire Coast to the east.
