PROPERTY OF THE MONTH

A very pretty detached bungalow believed to have been built in 1937 of rendered colour-washed elevations under a tiled roof set in delightful grounds of around one third of an acre with far reaching views over the downs. The property benefits from full central heating, double glazing and is presented in immaculate order throughout with flexible accommodation which can provide a self contained annexe if required.

Located within easy access of Hailsham, a thriving family-friendly market town with a mix of rural charm and modern amenities with a great array of independent shops, services, eateries etc. including the main supermarkets - Waitrose, Tesco etc.   It lies roughly 7 miles north of Eastbourne and within the Eastbourne/Hastings/Tunbridge Wells triangle. The GP surgery is within walking distance as are two primary schools.  The cattery backs on to a large field where the owners walk their dogs along a footpath that crosses the downs all the way to Battle.

The boarding cattery business is very well established enjoying an unrivalled local reparation and has been run by the current owners for the past 23 years to an extremely high standard..  The cattery is in immaculate condition and spotlessly clean throughout with a delightful aspect over the stunning gardens and water feature.   Trade is drawn from a very well populated catchment area.

The cattery is currently licensed for 40 cats but has capacity for 60 cats.  The turnover on the reduced numbers is around £80,000 and is over 46 weeks rather than 52 as the cattery is closed from mid February to the end of March for holidays and maintenance work.

In addition to the cattery there is a very attractive GROOMING PARLOUR  on site with a separate entrance to the front of the property.  This could be incorporated as further accommodation if required. Although the GROOMING PARLOUR is not currently  operational due to ongoing health issues, it previously generated an additional income c£25k per annum.
