Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
Keeper’s Lodge offers a distinctive rural project: a stone-built three-bedroom house, traditional courtyard buildings and stabling set within around 20 acres of Belvoir countryside. The house is described as requiring comprehensive internal renovation, giving a buyer scope to reshape the accommodation, while the grounds, mature trees and established boundaries provide an appealing setting. Full planning permission is stated for five holiday lodges and ten static caravans, subject to conditions and a Section 106 Agreement; the holiday-use restrictions and separate site-licence requirement matter to anyone pursuing that scheme.
The main drawback is value: at £1.5 million, the asking price is about £641 per sq ft against a local average of £261, making this a weak overall WHOTS opportunity despite its strong fundamentals and setting. The available images show some weathering or discolouration to roof surfaces, but do not establish whether repairs are needed; the interior is not shown, so the renovation scope cannot be assessed from the photos.
Key opportunities
- Create a refreshed home from the stone-built residence, with multiple reception rooms and an adjoining wing offering flexibility in the layout.
- Explore the permitted holiday accommodation scheme, subject to its conditions, Section 106 Agreement, holiday-use restrictions and required site licence.
- Make the most of the extensive grounds, mature trees, established boundaries and courtyard buildings to shape a distinctive rural holding.
Key risks
- Roof surfaces show some weathering or discolouration in the available views; whether repairs are needed is not established.
- The asking price is substantially above the local £/sq ft average, weakening the value opportunity.
