It is comprised of:
+ Open plan living space with a kitchen
+ 2 bedrooms
+ Shower room and WC
A large veranda is situated to the front of the gite overlooking the lake and the home swims.
Whilst the gite is well adapted for use by anglers it is also well suited for use as an off-season AirBnB location.

The Main Lake
Is a 2.5 acre lake with a central island feature and mature and very well maintained trees and bushes lining the margins. Breaks in the trees provide off-bank natural swims for fishing around the land. The lake itself is a fully legalised lake with closed-water status providing for 24hr unrestricted private fishing. The lake is known to have depths of up to 2m with the bottom of the lake being clay, gravel and silt. Following the most recent netting (2022) the lake is known to have 90 pristine carp with an average weight of approx 35lb (with at least two over 50lb) plus pike, rudd and roach.
The lake's water is via natural sources with minimal loss of water during the dryer summer months. The lake aeration (included in the sale) is via a solar-driven solution with the panels themselves installed on the island.
The lake is provided in a complete plug-and-play business ready state that would easily support a 32week a year premium carp fishing business.

To the side of the main lake is located an outbuilding for the storage of all angling materials and the preparation of bait and food materials for the lake. This has a connection to mains water and electricity.

Stock Pond
