If you’ve ever daydreamed about running your own picturesque holiday park in the countryside, then you’ll want to take a look at Grasslands, a 9.77-acre site in East Winch, near King’s Lynn, that is currently for sale at a guide price of £850,000.
The park has been well-looked-after and expanded over the years by the existing owners and includes a unique four-bedroom residential property, ten electric caravan pitches, two holiday lodges with planning permission to build a further eight, and three fishing lakes.

Located just two miles from the village of Gayton, which is home to a number of shops, services and a pub, and seven miles from King’s Lynn, Grasslands offers tranquil rural living with easy access to the beautiful Norfolk coast.
At the heart of the site and to the south of the two-acre Mallard Lake is the timber-framed residential property. This includes an extensive kitchen with modern, country-style units, a central island and a range cooker on the ground floor, as well as two reception rooms, a study and a utility room.
On the first floor you’ll find a galleried landing, a family bathroom and four good-sized bedrooms, two of which have en suites. The master bedroom also boasts its own private balcony with impressive views over Mallard Lake.
Outside, the property is approached by a separate driveway and features an extensive patio and garden which is perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxing whilst looking out over the lake.
There is also an additional building in the grounds of the property which offers extra storage space.
Also on the site are two permanent two-bedroom holiday lodges which overlook the lake known as Heron Pool. One of the lodges has been sold off and so is not included in this sale. However, it does pay a ground rent of £2,750 per annum, which would transfer to the new owners of Grasslands.
Selling agent Savills says the second lodge is to be sold with the rest of the holiday park with vacant possession (not subject to an occupant or a tenancy).
Planning permission has also been granted to build an additional eight holiday lodges on the site, presenting a great opportunity for growth. Further details of this agreement can be discussed with Savills.

The site also has five caravan pitches separated by privet hedges which offer privacy for guests, and a further eight seasonal pitches are situated around Heron Pool, making them great for keen anglers and birdwatchers. There is also ample parking around the site.
Three well-managed fishing lakes are also found on the site, which Savills says have “received extensive maintenance and restoration over the years”.
Mallard Lake is the largest and features three islands that attract a variety of wildlife, while the 0.75-acre Heron Pool has a number of purpose-built timber platforms for two anglers to share around its banks.
Kingfisher Pond is the newest fishery on site. It is approximately 0.5 acres and a flourishing crucian carp water. All fishing lakes provide a mixed fishery including carp, roach, rudd, bream and tench.
With well-connected tracks to all the lakes, carefully maintained vegetation and greenery across the grounds, mature trees and plenty of wildlife to see, Grasslands is a relaxing, rural site with loads to offer to someone who is eager to take on an established holiday park.
