Delightful Dartmoor Visitor Attraction For Sale
HLL Humberts Leisure, chartered surveyors and specialist leisure business consultants of London has been instructed to market the Becky Falls Estate, a popular and profitable day visitor attraction business at the southern gateway to the Dartmoor National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (S.S.S.I.).
Becky Falls is conveniently located just 5 miles from the A38 dual carriageway, one of the main routes linking Exeter, Plymouth and the West Country and is well sign posted from all the nearby roads.
Set in some 60 acres within an ancient wooded, granite bouldered, valley just outside the village of Bovey Tracey, the essence of Becky Falls is to allow visitors the freedom to enjoy the wild and spectacular natural beauty of this tranquil Park. Rich in flora and fauna, it has been popular since Victorian times and this year celebrates the centenary of opening to the public.
Sympathetic development of well laid out and varied nature trails by the current owners, combined with a complementary range of modern visitor facilities makes Becky Falls a very attractive tourist business. There is the 120 cover Woodland Restaurant and Tearoom, a Gift and Craft shop, Pets’ Corner and Animal Enclosures. In addition, there are stables, outbuildings and parking for 300 cars and coaches.
Owner’s (or manager’s) accommodation is provided by a charming and secluded, traditional stone built, 3 bedroom, cottage. A former farmhouse is currently laid out for part residential and part commercial use. Both properties are used for holiday letting and have planning permission for extension and/or development into an Interpretation Centre.
Tim Smith MRICS, handling the sale at HLL Humberts Leisure observes: “Becky Falls is a very solid family business with a variety of sound income streams, set in an excellent tourist location. Sustained visitor numbers and trading figures over the years, coupled with the scope for further development, makes this an ideal ‘lifestyle’ purchase opportunity.”
The Becky Falls Estate is offereed for sale freehold, as a going concern, at a guide price of £1.5 million to include all trade fixtures and fittings.
