Summary - OLDFORD FARM, LULLINGTON LANE, FROME, OLDFORD BA11 2NF
1 bed 1 bath Guest House
Large freehold holiday-let estate with river frontage, barn redevelopment potential and immediate trading opportunity.
Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse with original character features
A rare freehold lifestyle holiday-let estate close to Frome, Riverside Cottage Holidays combines a Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse with seven converted stone cottages, sleeping up to 41 guests across circa 15 acres of gardens, paddocks and riverside. The site includes a sizeable steel-framed agricultural barn with separate access and strong redevelopment potential (subject to consents), ample courtyard parking and full fishing rights on the River Frome. Recent works include new boilers (programme underway), a new oil tank, new log burners and extensive exterior repointing using lime mortar.
This sale suits an owner-operator or investor wanting an immediately tradeable business; the cottages and farmhouse have been run as a family lifestyle operation and can be taken on as a going concern. The accommodation and grounds are presented to a high standard in many areas and offer clear scope to increase turnover through marketing, extended bookings or alternative use of the barn and additional land (planning dependent).
There are material constraints buyers must consider. The main house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate consenting and maintenance. The property lies in a high flood-risk area along the riverbank — parts of the grounds and lower paddocks are vulnerable. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect longer-stay guests or remote working customers. Heating is oil-based with large oil tanks on site and log burners in places; environmental and running-cost implications should be reviewed.
Overall this is a substantial, character-rich rural business with sizeable land, immediate income potential and redevelopment options. It will suit purchasers comfortable with listed-building responsibilities, flood-risk management and upgrading connectivity to fully realise the estate’s commercial upside.
