Tibenham > Norfolk

GUIDE £1,200,000 to £1,300,000: EMF presents an exciting holiday business opportunity in the charming village of Tibenham, Norfolk, nestled within the heart of East Anglia. This exceptional premises, showcasing stunning Grade II listed buildings, offers versatile possibilities tailored to your lifestyle and business aspirations. Whether you dream of living in the expansive main residence with its seven bedrooms, utilising the separate cottage and annexe for multi-generational living, or diving into the lucrative holiday letting market, this one has it all!

Set on nearly 3 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, complete with a serene pond and a babbling brook, the estate also boasts an inviting indoor swimming pool complex, perfect for guests or personal enjoyment. The idyllic surroundings enhance the property's appeal, making it a true hub of opportunity. Whether you choose to live onsite, partially let, or operate remotely, you can customise your investment to match your lifestyle while tapping into significant income potential.

In 2021, a private treatment plant for sewage was installed, ensuring efficient and environmentally friendly waste management. Heating throughout the property is provided by LPG, offering reliable warmth all year round. The setup is perfect for large groups, hen and stag dos, as well as individuals seeking a peaceful retreat. Currently, the property is listed on Airbnb and Booking.com, providing guests with a convenient and easy booking experience.

THE BUSINESS:

Currently, the owners enjoy the comfort of the main house while deriving a substantial annual income of approximately £80,000 to £90,000 from renting out the annexe, cottage, and pool house accommodations. The main house itself is available for rent at £1,400 per night during the owner's annual 6-week absence, with the annexe, cottage, and pool house fetching attractive average nightly rates of £80, £150, and £170 respectively.

With an occupancy rate hovering around 60%, there is ample room for growth. Previous operations approached an annual turnover near £200,000 when run solely as a holiday letting business, so we are advised. This presents an ideal scenario for potential owners interested in residing in the cottage, which can easily be made private and separate, while managing the lucrative holiday lettings across the rest of the site.
