Meridian Business Sales are delighted to offer for sale this truly exceptional property and business which has a proud history dating back to the 1980’s. Since 1996 it’s been owned and run by our clients who are only now placing it on the market due to their strong desires for a lifestyle change. The business which is run and managed by our clients achieves a very respectful advised annual turnover of £69,000. This is derived from offering a very high standard of cat accommodation. The cattery is exceptionally well presented with our clients going to considerable expense and effort which has resulted in a 52 pen facility currently licensed for 80 cats with management office, stores and kitchen. The business has always enjoyed excellent levels of repeat trade. The business also sees a healthy amount of new visitors derived from good word of mouth recommendations and from the highly visible trading location situated on the A415. The opportunity is truly unique by having a luxury 5 bedroom family home including an outdoor heated swimming pool and tennis court, which represents an ideal opportunity for a bed & breakfast establishment (STPP). The property also offers a self contained 2 bedroom annexe and bed sit cabin which both have excellent rental potential of at least £13,000pa. Alternatively, they could be used for staff accommodation. Other facilities include a large garage/storage facility, well maintained open gardens and large front reception driveway. This is a truly exceptional property which offers an excellent lifestyle change opportunity.
