Description

Manor Fisheries offers an opportunity to purchase a spacious family home and coarse fishing lakes.  The house was built in the late 1980’s of exposed timber and brick with plaster infill elevations set under a Kent peg tile roof.  Internally the accommodation comprises many well proportioned rooms offering spacious family accommodation.

The Fishery

Set in delightful, landscaped grounds, the three lakes offer a tranquil fishing environment.

Specimen Lake 1

Extending to approximately 1.1 acres with 10 pegs.  Stocked with predominantly carp to 35lbs.

Specimen Lake 2

Extending to approximately 1.2 acres with 10 pegs.  Stocked with carp to 30lbs and catfish to 40lbs+.

Pleasure/Match Lake

Extending to approximately 1.6 acres with max. 40 pegs.  Stocked with a mix of silver fish, small carp and bream.

The current owner has managed the fishery on a low key basis with minimal publicity on a pre booking system.  A future purchaser could run the fishery on a commercial day ticket basis, form a syndicate, offer exclusive fishing with the ancillary accommodation or enjoy the lakes themselves.

The fishery and the accommodation have the potential to generate a good level of income.  

Outside and Gardens

Manor Fisheries is approached from the lane through a double wooden 5-bar gate over a gravel drive that encircles a central raised brick border planted with shrubs with plenty of space and parking for several cars.  The drive continues through a further gate and on to the fishing lakes. 

The gardens are laid to lawn with deep borders planted with interesting specimen mature shrubs and trees.  To the side is a kitchen garden with box hedging.  Close to the house, at the rear, is a terrace that runs the width of the property and which is in part covered by the first floor veranda.
