The Land - 3.35 Acres

The land is suitable for sheep grazing and has a sited hen hut and storage sheds. Or could be used as an overflow for camping on the 60 day rule.

The Lifestyle

The owners of the estate have chosen to run the business on a lifestyle choice. Only operating 5 camping pitches instead of 10, only accommodating a select number of campers and only operating for 6 months of the year due to choosing to take the other 6 months as annual leave. It is felt that there is a greater business potential for Wharfe Camp being licenced for year round leisure facilities should the new owners so wish. There is also the opportunity to expand the camping & glamping, and to extend the house subject to relevant planning.

The house, business and land offer an excellent opportunity for the new owners to enjoy a lifestyle business, with a stunning location in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Full financial statements are available following a viewing.

The business has currently traded under the VAT threshold on a semi retired basis.
