Site of former caravan business near Alcester on the market for £1.7 million
THE site of the former Broad Lane Leisure caravan business in Kings Coughton has been put up for sale for offers over £1.7 million.
The business went into administration on 9th July and its stock of caravans and camper vans are being sold off by an auctioneer.
The firm’s former HQ includes a 1.85 acre site located on the A435 Birmingham Road where there is a 16,109 sq ft warehouse which was used as a showroom.
Toby O’Sullivan, director of Watling Real Estate, which has been appointed to sell the site, said: “This is a prominent strategic roadside location on the key arterial A435 Birmingham Road.
“It has a large yard and a low site cover of approximately 15 per cent, and provides excellent asset management potential including extension and redevelopment, subject to planning.”
A planning application was submitted in June 2020 by Aldi for a supermarket, but the application was later withdrawn.
Around 34 jobs were lost when Broad Lane Leisure called in administrators. The had been operating since 1971.
The failure of the firm was put down to a slowing down in the leisure vehicle market, despite a bounce back following the lifting of Covid restrictions.
