Description

The site is the former paddock to Green Mile House and has planning permission for 31 holiday lodges in an attractive rural setting, surrounded by trees and hedges on all sides and with a pond set in the existing woodlands making an ideal environment for a holiday lodge park. The site with the benefit of the planning permission extends to approximately 5 acres with an additional 4.34 acres of woodlands, ornamental gardens, a former outdoor swimming pool and a disused tennis court all available by separate negotiation and offering potential for further lodges, subject to planning.

Planning permission was granted by Bassetlaw District Council on 14 September 2023 under the application no. 23/00405/COU for 'Change of Use of Paddock to Static Caravan Holiday Park'.
Condition 20 states: 'Occupiers of holiday lodges hereby permitted at the site will be restricted to maximum 28 day stay duration within any three-month timeframe'.

The land is situated on the Old London Road south of Barnby Moor and the straight mile main road leading from the A1 into Retford. The site is located at the southern end of the existing gardens to Green Mile House in a very accessible location 2 ½ miles from the A1 which provides access to the A1(M), M18 and the M1. The market town of Retford is 2 miles west of the site. Retford is a market town in the Bassetlaw District in Nottinghamshire. It lies on the River Idle and the Chesterfield Canal. Retford has a population of approx. 24,000 people and is located 26 miles (42 km) east of Sheffield, 23 miles (37 km) west of Lincoln and 31 miles (50 km) north-east of Nottingham.

We understand that mains sewerage, mains water and mains electricity are all available and within close proximity of the site. It is recommended prospective purchasers explore the supply and cost of
all the relevant services prior to making an offer for the land.

An additional 4.34 acres of land which extends the site into the ornamental gardens of the owner's house and includes a former tennis court and redundant swimming pool is available by separate negotiation. In addition, the owner will consider selling his house and stables with planning permission for 8 holiday cottages in the former stables.
