DM Hall noted that the golf course has been closed since 2020 because of the development of dwelling houses within the ground, but said it has been well maintained by the current owners. The course is said to include a number of attractive sloping fairways together with belts of established woodland. Planning consent has been issued for converting the clubhouse into residential use.
The proposed holiday park, which forms the eastern part of the property, has planning permission for the construction of 16 holiday lodges, the sites for which have been established and can be occupied for 11 months of the year. There is also approval for six glamping pods within a wooded site to the rear.
DM Hall said overall site lies in an elevated position, providing an attractive outlook over the surrounding countryside and good access from the public road.
Jennifer Campbell of DM Hall, who is overseeing the sales process, said: “This site represents an exciting and rare opportunity for the open market. While this property clearly has commercial appeal, one cannot ignore the appeal of a private residential estate. Who doesn’t want their own golf course!”
