A popular caravan park has been sold with plans in place to expand its holiday offering.

Ashfield Caravan Park, located in Dalton Piercy near Hartlepool, was sold to developer Alex Stephenson Jnr following a marketing campaign led by GSC Grays’ Rural Business and Leisure department.

The park was listed for sale at a guide price of £2 million earlier this year, with the site covering approximately 11 acres.

Katherine Wigham, associate at GSC Grays, said: "Ashfield Caravan Park attracted strong interest because of the range of permissions already in place and the different options available for the future use of the site.

"The existing consents provide the new owner with a range of options for the future, including additional holiday accommodation, caravan storage and an owner or manager’s residence.

"Plans are already in place by the new owner to progress the static holiday caravan element of the park, alongside investment in improvements to the existing touring site."

The park currently holds planning permission for 105 touring caravan and motorhome pitches, 37 static holiday caravans, and storage for up to 143 touring caravans.

There is also potential to expand to 47 static units, subject to planning approval.

Additional facilities include a centrally located reception building with a licensed social club, an amenity block, staff accommodation, and an equipment store.

The site operates under a 12-month licence and includes permission for a four-bedroom owner or manager’s residence.
