Description

A rare opportunity to acquire an established leisure and recreation site extending to approximately 8.36 acres (3.38 hectares), benefitting from Class F2(c) Use (Outdoor Recreation facility), situated on the edge of the thriving Mid Devon town of Cullompton. The property has previously been operated as a footgolf and laser clay shooting venue and offers scope for a range of community, sport and recreational uses within the existing use class (subject to any necessary consents), or alternative development subject to planning.

The site benefits from an extensive area of vehicle parking/hardstanding, and access directly from the public highway (Waters Lane) along the northern boundary. Within the site are various modest timber built structures, including an office/reception building for the footgolf, a detached toilet block with 2no. WC’s (incl. One for disabled use), and the laser clay shooting range building.

The property occupies an attractive rural position, enjoying views over the surrounding countryside whilst remaining conveniently accessible to Cullompton, Junction 28 of the M5 motorway and the wider transport network.
Situation

Situated between the M5 motorway and the B3181, the site is well placed for access to the surrounding road network. Cullompton lies nearby and provides an extensive range of day-to-day facilities and services, including primary and secondary schooling, supermarkets, healthcare facilities, independent retailers, public houses and leisure amenities. The town also benefits from immediate access to Junction 28 of the M5 motorway. More extensive commercial, educational and recreational facilities can be found in the city of Exeter, approximately 11 miles to the south, together with mainline rail services and Exeter Airport.
