Business History
Meridian Business Sales are privileged to offer to the market this profitable, 300 year old Grade II listed, residential and commercial investment property which has been in the careful hands of our client for the last 16 years. The only reason this rare opportunity is being offered to the market is due to our clients desire to concentrate on other business interests. Since our clients took ownership of the property, they have transformed it from a B&B to a very profitable investment property comprising of both residential and commercial lets, which currently achieve an advised annual income of circa £130,000. The business can be run with little or no effort at all from anywhere in the UK or abroad as all rents are collected via direct debit. There is further scope to increase turnover as parts of the commercial property are still vacant in addition to which there is a further adjacent 1 acre plot which could offer scope for further development subject to any relevant planning permission. The main income comes from residential lettings which are on a 6 month assured short tenancy agreement, additional income comes from office and commercial unit lettings as well as a large yard area which is currently rented out to a local coach hire company for vehicle storage. The rear of the building has 12 further metal storage containers which are also individually rented out. Our clients have gone to considerable expense and effort on the presentation of the property and are very generously including fixtures and fittings in the sale price which is a huge plus for a new owner as additional funds will not need to be spent for some time. This is a superb investment opportunity, and as such Meridian Business Sales recommends early viewing.
