INTRODUCTION New Farm and Waterside Lodges offer an excellent opportunity to purchase a holiday letting enterprise with well-established holiday cottages together with the more recently developed holiday lodges. The property has excellent access to the A10 and A14 trunk roads with the nearby Milton Park & Ride providing easy access to Cambridge City Centre. The property is well located for the University City of Cambridge and the historic cathedral City of Ely which provide extensive recreational and tourist attractions. Waterbeach station (2 miles) and Cambridge North station (3½ miles) are both in close proximity.

The property is offered for sale either as a whole or in two separate lots.  

SELF-CATERING & HOLIDAY LODGE ENTERPRISE Waterside Lodges (Lot 2) - the lodges are a recent addition to the business, and the 4 completed lodges were built in 2018/19 to a bespoke design by the current owners. Each lodge is finished to a high standard with private parking, enclosed garden and decking area with hot tubs overlooking the fishing lake. There are two further lodges that have been constructed to a 'shell' stage and ready to be fitted out either by the buyer or seller, providing an opportunity to generate further letting income. The 4 completed lodges have enjoyed an occupancy rate of 90% in the first year, and the equivalent of 3 completed lodges produced a 12 month turnover of £113,000 (September 2019 - September 2020). The lodges have a Booking.com rating of 9.8/10.
