DescriptionCadmore Lodge is a substantial country house hotel and established events venue set within approximately 38 acres of private grounds, approached via a long tree-lined driveway which opens out to extensive parking and a secluded, tranquil setting.
The property offers a rare combination of existing hospitality infrastructure alongside significant consented development potential. A central feature of the estate is a sizeable lake, with the surrounding grounds comprising a mix of woodland and open grassland, formerly laid out as a nine-hole golf course, creating an attractive and versatile environment suited to a range of commercial uses.
A key component of the offering is the benefit of planning consent (APP/J1860/W/21/3273533) for the development of 25 holiday lodges within a designated area of the grounds. This provides a compelling opportunity for a purchaser to create a high-quality lodge park, complementing the existing hotel and events business and enabling the development of multiple income streams within a single destination.
LocationCadmore Lodge is situated in the heart of the “Three Counties” – Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire – an area renowned for its countryside, tourism appeal and strong leisure market.
The property lies approximately two miles from the historic market town of Tenbury Wells, known for its traditional character and agricultural heritage. The highly regarded town of Ludlow is located around 20 minutes away, offering a well-established reputation for food, drink and tourism, with a range of Michelin Guide restaurants and popular annual festivals.
The property also benefits from convenient access to the M5 motorway network, providing connectivity to Birmingham, Bristol and beyond, along with access to both Birmingham and Bristol airports.
Internal DetailsThe hotel comprises 27 en suite bedrooms, 22 of which are completed and finished to a high standard. Five additional bedrooms have been created within a recent extension and are currently incomplete, presenting an immediate opportunity to increase room capacity and revenue.
The property offers a wide range of public areas, including a bar, restaurant and function/event spaces, together with a commercial kitchen, reception and office facilities. A swimming pool is also incorporated, enjoying views across the lake and grounds.
In addition, the site includes a characterful thatched mill house with a mezzanine level, historically used as bridal accommodation, further enhancing the property’s appeal as a wedding and events venue.
Fixtures & FittingsFixtures and fittings are included in the freehold sale, with the exception of items personal to the current owners. Further details are available from the selling agent.
External DetailsThe grounds extend to approximately 38.09 acres and provide a diverse and attractive setting, including woodland, open grassland, a lake and ample on-site parking.
The layout of the estate allows for a clear separation between the existing hotel operation and the area allocated for the consented lodge development, while retaining the overall character and amenity of the wider site.
The OpportunityCadmore Lodge presents a unique opportunity to acquire an established hospitality asset with significant asset management and development potential.
The combination of an existing hotel and events venue, together with planning consent for 25 holiday lodges, offers the potential to create a diversified leisure destination. The setting and scale of the property are particularly well suited to the growing demand for UK staycation, lodge park and retreat-style concepts.
There is clear scope to enhance and expand the existing business, increase accommodation provision and further develop the events and leisure offering, or alternatively to reposition the asset to suit a purchaser’s specific operational model (subject to any necessary consents).
