Riverside Cottage Holidays is a substantial, income-capable estate set in circa 15 acres with direct River Frome frontage and full fishing rights. The property comprises a restored 17th-century Grade II listed farmhouse (seven bedrooms) and seven independent holiday cottages arranged around a large stone courtyard — currently run as a family lifestyle holiday-let business and sold as a transfer of going concern.
The estate already benefits from recent investment: sensitive restorations to the farmhouse, new log burners and flues, new boiler and oil tanks, upgraded kitchen with underfloor insulation, and ongoing replacement of cottage boilers and appliances. The site comfortably sleeps 41, offers off-street parking (10–15 formal spaces plus courtyard parking), walled gardens and a large steel-framed agricultural barn with separate access — a clear redevelopment or additional income opportunity, subject to consents.
Important practical notes for buyers: the property is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and will complicate some works; it lies in a high flood-risk area, which affects insurance and use; and heating is oil-based (oil tanks on site). The business has scope to be scaled-up commercially — improved marketing, full-time management, or conversion options for the barn — but any structural or use changes will require consents because of the listing and location.
This estate suits an investor or owner-operator wanting an established holiday-let portfolio in a picturesque Somerset setting close to Frome. It’s a rare, characterful package with immediate trading potential and substantial land, but buyers should budget for listing-led maintenance, flood mitigation/insurance costs and ongoing cottage refurbishment.
