REDUCED: LOVELY SPACIOUS FAMILY HOME IN STUNNING SUFFOLK COUNTRYSIDE

A deceptively spacious family home offering flexible accommodation set on the edge of this delightful pretty village with uninterrupted views over open rolling countryside. The property is presented in good order throughout and set in secluded grounds of approximately 1 acre(stem) adjoining farmland.  3 double bedroom suites with full e/s bathrooms, two further bedrooms, family bathroom, lounge, snug, kitchen/breakfast room, study/office and stunning views. Close to charming and picturesque historic market town with trainline serving London. 

This 5* rated business is well established and enjoys an excellent local reputation with glowing Google reviews from a wide and wealthy demographic including, Bury, Sudbury, Lavenham, Long Melford and surrounding villages. It is currently licensed by for 30 dogs and 14 cats (see note below)  with a six figure income and a higher than average occupancy rate providing an impressive net profit.  The units are well maintained and spotlessly clean throughout and the business offers scope to further improve in younger hands.  After 18 happy years the vendors are now planning to retire.  

Post covid the owners decided to reduce numbers and run the business without staff  that they could manage at family level. Accordingly, much business has been turned away - the grooming parlour is now closed and this could be rented as a stand alone unit, the Doggie Day care Business has also ceased which generated a significant amount of income.  The vendors advise that the largest local Day Care unit has recently closed so demand is very strong in the area.  In addition and as with many other areas, new housing developments in the area are generating a lot of new business. Based on average occupancy rates using the original numbers incised this would increase the turnover for dogs by another £40k and cats by a further £28k.  Grooming would also add significant income.  A major benefit of this fabulous kennel boarding business is that it is currently operating as a separate entity to the boarding cattery business providing the major bonus of a DOUBLE VAT THRESHOLD.   The business is ripe for significant growth in younger hands. 

AGENT’S NOTE:  Pre-covid the business was licensed for 40 dogs and 28 cats and these numbers could easily be re-instated.
