A remarkable self-catering holiday let business, Riverside Cottage Holidays, is now available for purchase just outside Frome in the beautiful Somerset countryside. Nestled on 15 acres near the village of Oldford, this property features seven charming holiday cottages, a Grade II listed 17th-century farmhouse, an agricultural barn, and expansive grounds.
Constructed from traditional stone, the cottages boast high-spec interiors and private gardens arranged around a charming courtyard. The adjacent agricultural barn presents exciting opportunities for further development, adding to the business’s appeal.
The spacious farmhouse, with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms, showcases period character including an original bread oven and fireplace. Recent renovations have been made to the reception rooms, kitchen, and bathrooms, ensuring a blend of modern comfort with historic charm.

Interestingly, the property also encompasses an ancient Roman ford crossing the river, with some original stonework still visible, enhancing the unique heritage appeal of this exceptional site.
Owners Stephen and Maria, who acquired Oldford Farm in 2020, have thoroughly enjoyed running this lifestyle property but are now passing the torch as they prepare for retirement. They expressed pride in developing a family business rooted in a location that fulfilled their dreams, and now look forward to a new owner who can continue to expand and refine the business.

Set within picturesque surroundings, this established business offers a combination of historic elegance, high-quality self-catering accommodation, private grounds, fishing rights, and a loyal repeat clientele. With a market price of £2,500,000, it represents a unique chance to invest in a premier Somerset holiday destination with excellent lifestyle and growth potential.
