The Vale of Glamorgan Council is inviting bids from parties who are interested in taking a 10-year lease of South Lodge, Windsor Gardens.

The South Lodge is located on the north side of Cliff Hill, at the southern entrance to Windsor Gardens.

The Lodge dates back from 1881 and was originally built as a park keeper's lodge for Windsor Gardens which it lies within.

The building is situated adjacent to the main entry point for the Gardens and will benefit from an external seating area.

The marketing proposal states that: ''Consideration will be given to a longer lease if a suitable business case can be made.''

The Council is seeking to market the leasehold interest in the building for the delivery of a catering opportunity or holiday accommodation from South Lodge located in Windsor Gardens, Penarth.

The announcement for the use of South Lodge came in July of 2019.

A report agreed by cabinet on June 17 2019 said: "Any future development proposals for South Lodge will need to respect its 'County Treasure' status, preserve and enhance the Penarth Conservation Area and the adjoining Grade II-listed Windsor Gardens.

"Given the views, South Lodge benefits from and the potential uniqueness of being a park keeper's cottage, it could have significant appeal in a range of markets.''

The strict deadline for submitting tender bids is 12 Noon on Tuesday 17 March 2020.
