Description

Situated in the idyllic Holyfield area of Waltham Abbey, this unique detached property offers an exceptional investment opportunity by combining an established fishing complex with a versatile mixed-use residence. Encompassing 1,739 square feet and set within 13.5 acres of serene landscape, this site includes three well-stocked lakes and a quaint bailiff's cottage integral to the business operations. The property enjoys a prime position adjacent to Lee Valley Park, providing direct access to beautiful natural settings, including picturesque lakes and the peaceful river Lea. Local amenities are conveniently close, such as the prestigious Lee Valley White Water Centre — notable for its role during the 2012 Olympics — as well as the Wildlife Discovery Centre and Animal Adventure Park. The nearby village of Nazeing features a variety of shops, dining options, and leisure activities like Nazeing Golf Course, suiting various lifestyle preferences. Commuters will benefit from proximity to Waltham Abbey and Cheshunt, both under 1.5 miles away. Cheshunt Station is less than a mile from the property, offering regular services to key locations including London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. Excellent road links further enhance accessibility with M25 (Junction 26) just 2.5 miles away. The estate is accessed via a gated entrance off Fishers Green Lane, ensuring privacy and tranquility. Holyfield Fishery presents an extraordinary chance to invest in both leisure and lifestyle; whether you envision this as a peaceful retreat or a profitable venture remains open for interpretation. Having been family-owned since 1981, this commercial coarse fishery consists of three lakes: Top Lake (1.5 acres), Match Lake (0.35 acres), and Main Lake (3.1 acres), all stocked with various fish species conducive for leisure fishing or matches. Additional features include outbuildings between the car park and lakes that house recirculation tanks along with kitchen/retail capabilities, large pergola areas, greenhouses, and about 2 acres of grass paddock land that might be developed for other uses subject to necessary permissions. Currently operating on a syndicate basis, Holyfield has previously functioned on day ticket terms; financial details can be provided upon request. Noteworthy amenities include private drainage systems along with mains water and electricity setup.
