This project offers a unique development opportunity within the popular resort village of Woodhall Spa, which lies approximately 15 miles to the east of Lincoln on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
The property represents an opportunity to re-develop the majority of the original Spa building, an area around which the vibrant village of Woodhall Spa grew. The buildings' foundations were laid in the 1830s and the Pump Room with its beautiful decorative trusses was completed in 1838. The rest of the building followed and with the advent of the railways created a Victorian holiday destination where guests would come and "take the waters" in this very building.
The property forms the majority of what was the former Spa buildings in the village, part of which has now been redeveloped as a gym and beauty spa. The vacant balance of the property we are now offering for sale has been made structurally sound, secure, fully weathertight and ready for first fixing.
The site has planning permission for conversion to holiday lets, but could be suitable for a variety of other leisure and commercial uses and longer term it offers potential for an element of new build development on part of the site, subject to planning.
The plans that have been approved by ELDC allow for the creation of 13 bedrooms within the main building, with extensive outside areas. Access to the site is via a shared car park with the Kinema in the Woods adjacent. The buildings are predominantly laid out over ground floor, but the former water tower also has a first and second storey.
There is a separate self-contained single storey building of similar construction to the other buildings on the site, which is the former hydrotherapy pool and overlooks the first green of the Hotchkin golf course. This has Planning permission for conversion to a 3-bedroom holiday let.
This is a rare chance to revive a part of Woodhall Spa's history to bring it up to date for the 21st Century. The location and size of the plot offer the potential to create a commercial hub within a thriving and picturesque village, extremely popular with locals and visitors alike.
