If you are an angler, it is fair to say that at some point throughout your life you will have dreamed about owning a fishery, well now you have the chance.

It isn't very often fisheries come up for sale, and while we understand it won't be in everyone's budget, if you have been looking to purchase one this could be your best chance to do so.

A once established fishery in West Sussex has become available via auction on the 24th September 2025 at 2pm. At first glance, it is clear the fishery will require some renovations to restore it to its former glory, but with the right management and outlook, we think this could be turned into a cracking little venue for the right person.

We spoke to the Cheffins, the agents involved with the sale, who had this to say:

"An excellent opportunity to acquire a 5.85 acre parcel of meadowland and three established lakes located on the edge of the desirable West Suffolk village of Great Wratting."

"The two principal ponds extend to approximately 0.53 acres and 0.43 acres respectively, with a smaller stock pond of around 0.15 acres."

"The ponds have previously been operated as a day-ticket coarse fishery but have not been managed or fished in recent years. The land provides potential for reinstatement as a fishery, subject to the necessary consents, or for a range of alternative recreational, leisure and outdoor uses."
