Liskeard, Cornwall

Welcome to Rivermead Farm-an idyllic holiday cottage complex nestled along the tranquil River Fowey. Set within 17 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, woodlands, and water frontage with ½ mile of fishing rights, this unique property includes seven charming cottages, and a luxurious four-bedroom detached bungalow for the owners. The cottages are presented to a high standard throughout which reflects in the high repeat custom, and there is planning permission for 2 additional lodges, as well as previous approval for a swimming pool. This easily managed complex comes with a comprehensive handover, ensuring a seamless transition, and early viewings are highly recommended.

LOCATION

Rivermead Farm estate is situated in the idyllic hamlet of Two Waters Foot by the river Fowey and is ideally located close to the towns of Bodmin and Liskeard, with the coastal towns of Fowey, Mevagissey, Polperro and Looe nearby. All these places offer shops, cafes, pubs and supermarkets. Only minutes' drive away are both the A30 and A38 connecting all parts of Cornwall, and the M5 motorway for the rest of the UK. A main line railway station is also only a short drive away, connecting London and beyond. Locally, there is an abundance of recreational activities like golf, forestry walks, beaches, cycle trails and the internationally renowned Eden Project. The location offers a tranquil environment but benefits from all the creature comforts of facilities nearby.

BUSINESS
This successful, owner-operated business requires no additional staff, offering the freedom to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle while still achieving excellent bookings. The property boasts an enviable rate of repeat custom, which is no surprise given its outstanding accommodation, unique facilities, and stunning surroundings. There is scope for equipment and machinery to be included in the sale, making maintenance of the grounds both simple and efficient. Of the seven cottages available, only six are currently rented out, with the seventh reserved for friends and family. Trading is currently limited to approximately six or seven months per year by choice, but there is significant potential to extend operations for those who wish to maximise revenue. This is a rare opportunity to embrace a dream lifestyle in one of the UK's most sought-after locations. Trading accounts will be made available following a successful formal viewing.
