Phocle Lake Accessed via a gated stone drive occupying a private and peaceful position. Acquired in 2016, the current owners have constructed three high specification lodges centred around a tree-lined mature lake, with planning permission for a further lodge. The lake extends to 1.3 acres, with the three bedroom Phocle Lodge overlooking the lake. In addition to the lodges, the current owners have invested in upgrading the infrastructure, services and access. Holiday Accommodation The lodges are bespoke finished by Pine Log, with upgraded integrated appliances and white vernis interior. All lodges are compliant with BS EN 3632. The three units comprise Kingfisher, Mallard and Skylark, with two 2 bedroom and one 3 bedroom unit with frontage on to the lake, car parking and private hot tub. The units have been finished to a high specification with open plan living area, timber decking with a high quality interior in a natural wood finish. The base for the additional (fourth) lodge has been implemented (2 bedroom), overlooking the lake between Mallard and Skylark. The low density of the existing units together with additional land on the eastern side of the lake may offer potential for further development, subject to planning. A laundry and storage building serving the lodges is situated to the rear of the dwelling.
