Caravan park sold for £2.25m

A caravan park in Allonby, Cumbria has been sold from an asking price of £2.25m.

Real estate advisers Colliers International, acting on behalf of longstanding private owner, sold the 5.5 hectare Manor House Park complex, which has 188 static caravan pitches, hard standing pitches for 20 touring caravans and a bar and restaurant to Lyons Holiday Parks – its 10th such facility in the North West.

Manor House Park has spectacular views and is located on the outskirts of the tourist village in West Cumbria and in the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between the seaside towns of Maryport and Silloth.

Richard Moss, head of UK Parks Agency at Colliers International, achieved the sale and said: “We witnessed significant demand for this substantial holiday park, partly because of its size and stellar coastal location. 

“The disposal of Manor House Park provides further evidence of positive market conditions for those wishing to sell with no shortage of buyers for quality sites in strong locations. We wish Lyons Holiday Parks all the best with its latest acquisition.”

Joseph Mound of Lyons Holiday Parks said: “We are delighted with our latest acquisition which takes our expanding group to a total of 10 holiday parks and almost 4,000 pitches. We will look to further expand the business and continue to provide high quality holidays to our customers; old and new.”
