COMMERCIAL / EQUESTRIAN

Previously, Wentwood Lodge has been used as an equestrian centre with ample

opportunity to utilise the riding out in Wentwood Forest without crossing a main road. More recently the kennels were used for 30 breeding bitches and was fully

licenced. An application for a change of use to a cattery has been submitted and a decision awaited. Due to the historic uses the potential to utilise the property for a

range of commercial activities exists, subject to the appropriate planning consent.

Currently the buildings comprise:

Reception – Situated beside the entrance this building offers retail area with

kitchen, disabled toilet, study and four additional offices. Heating via electric wall heaters.

Ménage - Professionally built 40m x 20m, with a sand and rubber surface sand

post and rail perimeter fencing.

Kennel Block - Six large purpose built insulated kennels with adjoining runs with double fenced gated access to licence standards.

Steel Building – Containing 10 x whelping kennels with runs.

Barn - Large open-fronted steel barn.

Workshop

Two former breeding buildings containing further kennels with external runs are

well equipped for housing dogs or cats.

Hard standing/Parking - There is a large central area of hardstanding with

extensive parking and separate entrance off highway.

dwelling, visitor accommodation, reception, administration and dog viewing facilities, ref APP/G6935/A/13/2205180 subject to conditions including the

occupancy of the permanent accommodation being restricted to a rural worker and

conditions, ref 16/1081 subject to conditions including commencement of works within 5 years and the retail area shall be restricted to 10m2 with no restriction on
