Eight 4 and 6 berth house boats/lodges set in 11.16 acres of picturesque marsh and woodland on the River Ant. Thriving business opportunity with enormous further potential
This long established holiday business has provided a significant income for many years and consists of 8 house boats all having picturesque river views, and access to, 11.16 acres of delightful river meadows and woodland. There is an extensive frontage onto the River Ant and there is a large car park, office and store. The house boats are connected to mains electricity, water and to a private drainage system. The River Ant has a reputation for fishing and you can fish from the houseboats or riverside (during open season).
