Profitable mixed-use leisure complex for sale on the Suffolk Coast
Field Farm is nestled just under a mile from the charming Suffolk village of Wrentham, and within easy reach of the renowned coastal haven of Southwold. Representing more than just a rural property, it is a vibrant income-generating mixed-use leisure complex set within 16.9 acres of picturesque countryside.
Combining an established coarse fishery, flexible touring caravan and camping operations and practical commercial facilities, there is also an attractive residential dwelling. Field Farm offers a compelling blend of lifestyle and investment opportunity in one of East Anglia’s most sought-after locations.
Occupying an enviable position along the A12 corridor, Field Farm is easily accessible. The nearby village of Wrentham offers local amenities, including independent shops, pubs and a doctor’s surgery, whilst Southwold, famed for its sandy beaches and colourful beach huts, offers wider facilities along with traditional seaside charm.
The surrounding area has plenty to explore for families and visitors, such as Africa Alive wildlife park, Benacre National Nature Reserve and historic Henham Park. For those who prefer a quieter coastal experience, unspoilt Covehithe beach provides a more tranquil backdrop.
Field Farm Fisheries is around 2.8 miles from Covehithe beach, pictured in the distance.
At the heart of the property is Field Farm Fisheries, a popular coarse fishing destination comprising six well-stocked lakes and attracting both casual anglers and seasoned enthusiasts throughout the year. Demonstrating the level of care and investment already in place, each of the ponds has been carefully maintained with quality swims and modern diffuser-style aeration systems to ensure water quality remains high, whilst otter-proof fencing safeguards fish stocks. There is a substantial timber-framed barn which currently serves as a machinery store and tackle shop, supplying anglers with bait and essential fishing equipment.
Complementing the fishery, the camping and caravan site can accommodate up to 40 touring caravans, motorhomes, or tents, providing flexibility to operators and holidaymakers. There is an area of hardstanding with storage for up to 30 caravans, whilst facilities include electric hook-ups, a well-maintained toilet and shower block and even a glamping pod.
Marsh Cottage is a detached three bedroom property occupying an elevated position with views of the largest pond. Seamlessly blending character with modern enhancements, a stylish single storey extension was completed in 2020 and a spacious entrance hall and boot room added in 2025. The enclosed front and rear gardens provide a degree of privacy, with practical additions such as a twin-bay carport, timber tractor store and storage area.

The combination of angling, camping, retail and storage facilities provides multiple income streams, whilst it’s enviable location close to the Suffolk Coast ensures consistent appeal to visitors.”
