Description
IN SUMMARY
A RARE OPPORTUNITY to acquire an established FISHING LAKES COMPLEX set on the fringes of Norwich, offering a MAGICAL SETTING surrounded by unspoilt countryside. This unique property extends to APPROXIMATELY 37.91 ACRES (subject to measured survey), encompassing TWO WELL-STOCKED FISHING LAKES, mature MIXED WOODLAND, and open spaces for PARKING. The site enjoys EASY ACCESS to both the A47 and Broadland Northway, making it highly accessible yet wonderfully secluded. The two lakes comprise a dedicated CARP-ORIENTATED LAKE, ideal for specimen anglers, and a MIXED COARSE FISHING LAKE suitable for all abilities, creating a versatile destination for both leisure and commercial pursuits. Approached via a PRIVATE GATED ENTRANCE, the property features TWO DESIGNATED CAR PARKING AREAS, one accessed from a shared access via SHACK LANE, ensuring ample space for visitors and staff. COMMERCIAL PLANNING PERMISSION was obtained in 2010, presenting significant DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES for a range of leisure uses (subject to planning), such as holiday lodges, glamping pods, or angling-related enterprises. This is an exceptional proposition for those seeking a lifestyle change or wishing to expand an existing leisure business, with the added benefit of established visitor appeal and a tranquil, natural environment.
SETTING THE SCENE
A timber five bar gate opens to a private driveway, leading past vast woodland, where a parking area can be found. Lockable gates lead to the lakes and swims.
THE GRAND TOUR
The Carp Lake has been carefully stocked over the years with specimens originally up to 16lb, many of which have now matured well into the twenties. The lake also offers an excellent head of Tench, naturally present for decades, with their true potential still something of a mystery. Anglers can expect a strong stock of fish in the 8lb-12lb range, making double-figure catches a regular possibility.
The Mixed Course Lake provides a varied and exciting fishing experience, stocked with Roach, Rudd, Bream, Tench, Gudgeon and several large Carp. In addition, the lake benefits from an established natural stock, including impressive Pike well into double figures, with some catches in recent seasons recorded at just under 20lb. Perch are also present, along with the intrigue of what else this historic estate lake may still hold beneath the surface.
The lakes continue to evolve, offering a fantastic opportunity for anglers of all levels to enjoy quality fishing in a picturesque and well-managed setting. Equally, the walks throughout the site are truly magical, with an evolving tree-scape and an abundance of wildlife.
