A rare opportunity
The Pumping Station combines heritage character, a catchment that supports both destination and local trade, and a phased transformation across multiple revenue streams - on a single 13.3-acre estate with an operating wedding venue already in place.
The owner has appointed us to introduce the opportunity to a small number of established operators on a direct, off-market basis. Early conversations will shape the commercial structure and give prospective operators first position to negotiate terms.
A phased transformation
Four stages, designed to be operated under one roof.
PHASE 1
Weddings & Events
Venue Expansion
Expansion of the existing wedding venue and integration of the historic coal yard as a new events space. Capacity increases from 64 to 100 ceremony guests, and from 200 to circa 300 evening guests. Pre-application stage.
PHASE 2
Boutique Hotel
A new wing of 25–30 keys, physically linked to the pumping station and sensitively designed to sit within the parkland setting.
PHASE 3
Subterranean
Destination Spa
A spa developed within the Grade II listed filter beds and original water tank. Existing geometries are preserved; the build largely below ground.
PHASE 4
Lodge Accommodation
Standalone lodge accommodation set within the wider 13.3-acre estate, supporting the hotel and venue offer.
