Land For Sale £150,000
A very special opportunity to acquire a beautiful lake understood to date back over 100 years, well stocked with fish set in about 6 acres of broadleaved woodland. For sale by Private Treaty.
The large fishing lake at Coaxdon was used for many years by employees of the Axminster Carpet factory as a perk of their job. The site was originally known as Coaxdon Quarry and was developed as a fishery by the Dutfield family, who owned Axminster Carpets for many years
The lake was under stood to have been dug in about 1912 and extends to just over an acre. This established lake is well stocked with Carp, Roach, Perch and Bream. It has various fishing pegs around the lake.
The land is well served by good access and road frontage with a gate from the highway leading to a good hard turning/parking area and a track then provides access down to the lake. There is a small stone tower building and a large brick wall on the eastern boundary close to the railway line, these structures may have been connected with the quarrying on site or could be old kilns. The site is understood to have been used for Blue Lias Lime quarrying.
The remainder of the site is mainly mixed broadleaved woodland with some level clearing that the vendor has used for camping purposes, there is considered great potential for expanding this use of the site perhaps with a glamping or wild camping business.<br/><br/>
