Description

Riverside Cottage Holidays in Oldford presents a unique investment opportunity. This property encompasses a beautifully restored 17th-century farmhouse that now serves as the owners' residence, along with seven constructed holiday cottages sourced from original stone farm buildings. The main farmhouse features 7 bedrooms and will appeal to those looking to tap into the thriving holiday rental market; it previously accommodated up to 22 guests. With ongoing maintenance in place, including recent renovations of reception areas and kitchens, buyers can build on this foundation to enhance and expand the operation further. The property is situated on approximately 15 acres of land which includes formal gardens and paddocks, while also being bordered by the picturesque River Frome, offering full fishing rights. Currently adapted for personal use, there’s significant potential to resume or grow its holiday letting operations under the recent changes in legislation which allow indefinite guest stays. The property's proximity to Frome provides additional amenities and attractions that will draw visitors. Additionally, an expansive steel-framed agricultural barn exists on-site, currently utilized as a workshop but ripe for redevelopment into additional units or varied uses (subject to planning permissions). This feature alone enhances the overall investment potential. For those considering a lifestyle change or an extension of their business portfolio, Riverside Cottage Holidays offers a well-established base with clear avenues for expansion and improvement in both residential and commercial capacities.
