SYMONDS & Sampson are bringing one of the largest fisheries in the region to the market. Coking Farm Fishery, at West Stour, on the edge of the Blackmore Vale, near Gillingham, represents an excellent opportunity for the lifestyle purchaser looking for something with commercial possibilities.

At the heart of the farm is a period, stone four/ six-bedroom farmhouse with an annexe having planning consent to extend into the adjoining stables and hayloft.

The fishery has been developed since 2006 as a profitable day ticket fishery for both pleasure and match anglers hosting a number of club competitions. Five beautiful landscaped freshwater lakes provide some 20 acres of water, one of the largest fisheries in the region. There is potential to develop the business further with a new, 30-pitch touring caravan park. The current owners also let a number of the traditional brick farm buildings to local businesses. There are also 60 acres of pasture land, the property extending in total to about 112 acres.

Andrew Tuffin, handling the sale, reports that his firm has valued a number of fisheries for various purposes recently but this is the first that has come to the market in 2009. “We expect a good level of interest in this unique opportunity,” he said.

For more information or specialist fishery valuation advice contact Andrew Tuffin in the Sturminster Newton office on 01258 472244.
