Situation
The development is in a peaceful and beautiful countryside setting on the outskirts of the rural hamlet of Pentridge, close to major road, rail and port links for convenient access. Cranborne Chase is one of only 14 International Dark Sky Reserves in the world, and as such the area is highly popular with stargazers. Dark Sky Reserve Status is awarded by the International Dark-Sky Association, which officially recognises areas that are naturally dark at night, free of light pollution. This means that Cranborne Chase is one of the best places in the world to view the beauty of the night sky including our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
For further details about the individual lodges and the business please click on the property brochure below.

Whitey Top Country Lodge
A detached four-berth luxury holiday lodge. The accommodation is all on the ground floor and comprises an open plan living space with Freeview television & electric fire. There is a dining area, kitchen with electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There are two bedrooms with a king size double and two single beds.

Stargazer
A totally new concept, this lodge has a bedroom on the mezzanine floor, for relaxing in bed and at the same time stargazing, as well as having a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, luxury all over bodyshower, kitchen, open plan living area and under cover terrace.


Location
The Cranborne Chase National Landscape is a chalk plateau in central southern England, straddling the counties Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire. The plateau is part of the English Chalk Formation and is adjacent to Salisbury Plain and the West Wiltshire Downs in the north, and the Dorset Downs to the south west.


Attractions
The medieval city of Salisbury is 11 miles away with its beautiful gothic Cathedral, restaurants and great shopping. Blandford Forum is 13 miles away with further shopping, recreational and business facilities. Martin Down National Nature Reserve is 2 miles from the lodges. Other attractions include, The Tank Museum, Monkey World, Paultons Park, Peppa Pig World, Longleat House and Longleat Safari Park. The World Heritage sites of Stonehenge, the Jurassic Coast are nearby, and the New Forest National Park is just 20 minutes' drive away.


The Business
The holiday lodges boast an impressive occupancy rate, with bookings coming in via cottages.com, hoseasons.co.uk and the current owner's website, whiteytoplodges.co.uk. Demand for the cottages is strong, prompting the addition of the third lodge, Stargazer this summer, and a fourth with planning consent.

The existing turnover of approximately £70,000 per annum is expected to reach £100,000 per annum with the addition of Stargazer, and with the development of the two traditional properties there is further potential for significant growth in the future.

Accounts are available on request, subject to the interested party entering into a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

(Hot tubs are not included in the sale but are subject to separate negotiations)


Further development
Planning consent to further develop the site has been granted under Dorset Council planning reference P/VOC/2022/05057 for two further traditional dwellings and a laundry room facility. There may be scope for one of the units to provide Manager's/owner's accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
