Seller Insight Situated between the thriving south Yorkshire villages of Wales and Kiveton Park is Horseshoe Lake, a very unique property that boasts an immaculately presented family home, a camping business and a fishing lake, all set within five acres of lovely grounds. I used to own a building company, but due to the stresses and strains of the job I was advised to change my vocation. I owned all of this land and loved fishing, so I thought it would be nice to earn a living from something I really enjoyed. Digging the lake, which covers around two-and-a-half acres, was the first thing to be done, then my wife and I decided to establish an orchard, and finally we built The Lodge, which has been a lovely home for the past ten years. Although both the fishing and camping businesses are run within the grounds of our property, the bungalow feels quite separate. It was built ten years ago and incorporates a wealth of green technology which makes it very economical to run, and in terms of the layout it s both spacious and very comfortable. We have three attic rooms, one of which is a complete blank canvass, and on the ground floor we have our lovely big kitchen/ diner, a cosy lounge and two more generous bedrooms, both of which are en-suite. Our garden is very secluded and as well as a good size lawn also has a decked terrace complete with plunge pool, which has been a real hit with the grandchildren. The remainder of the grounds is dedicated to the two businesses. The orchard is currently used as a campsite and despite it only being open for seven months of the year it has become a thriving business. We have regular visitors from all over the world as far away as Australia some who come to fish and others who come for weddings or to visit their children who are attending university. *

The living kitchen is definitely our favourite part of the house, says Marilyn. It s a lovely big sociable space that everyone gravitates to, and because it leads straight into the conservatory, it has a really nice connection with the garden.

We ve created both a camping and a fishing business, but in my mind there s still potential to do more. Alternatively, as it was for me, it could be a place where the new owners could come for a complete lifestyle change.

As you look across the lake there s nothing but rolling countryside, so we have the feel of being in the countryside, but with all the convenience of being close to places like Sheffield and Rotherham. We have a good bus service, the train station is just a stroll away and the Supertram is only a ten-minute drive from here. It s ideal.

Garage An integral single garage with power, lighting and an electronically operated roller door.

Horseshoe Lake Horseshoe Lake enjoys a private tucked away position which is highly commutable and is set within beautiful grounds of approximately 4 acres. The main attraction is the fishing lake s which are well stocked with coarse fish. All fishing pegs are easily accessible and wheel chair friendly. The caravan site sits within an enclosed orchard and all pitches are set between fruit trees and have electric hook ups. There are two flush toilets on site, both have wash basins with hot and cold water; and one shower. The business, which has a 10/10 rating on ukcampsite.co.uk, in terms of both fishing and camping is open for only 7 months of the year. The café facilities are offered only to customers to Horseshoe Lake. We would suggest the business is run in a relaxed manner with custom created by word of mouth or returning customers which would suggest a healthy increase in turnover potential is readily acheivable.
