Lifehouse resort goes into administration
POSTED 23 Jan 2012 . BY Tom Walker
The Lifehouse spa resort near Colchester, Essex, UK is up for sale after the resort's owner Tangram Leisure went into administration.

David Thurgood, Jim Stewart-Koster and David Dunckley of Grant Thornton UK have been appointed joint administrators of Tangram.

The property is currently being managed by the administrators and Lifehouse continues to trade as normal.

The Lifehouse opened in December 2010 following an investment of £30m (€36.4m, US$46.9m). The resort is located within 135 acres of grounds and has 100 guest bedrooms.

The resort's 90,000sq ft (8,400sq m), two-storey spa has 35 treatment rooms, a thermal spa area, a swimming pool and an outdoor fitness circuit.
