Kennels and cattery business with residence and land in Poulton-Le-Fylde for Sale.
Located in an affluent enclave on a very private lane, close to the tidal banks of the River Wyre, yet easily accessed from the A585 which feeds directly into the M55 motorway. The property is well located in a semi-rural location, surrounded by open fields to the rear and benefitting from close proximity to Poulton Le Fylde and Thornton Cleveleys.
The property
The property comprises of a detached, two-storey, three-bedroom house with single storey ground floor annex to the side. A private garden. Range of boarding kennel blocks and a cattery, accommodating 64 dogs and 15 cats plus a strays / isolation unit for 20. Approximately 4.6 acres of agricultural grassland / paddock. Combined, the primary detached residence, kennels and cattery and land area extend to approximately 5.28 acres (2.1 hectares).
Kennels and cattery
Reception office with parking. Three kennel blocks, mixed pen sizes and all with outside runs. Block A, 68 sq m with 15 pens. Block B, 37 sq m with 11 pens. Block C, 56 sq m with 20 pens. Two dog isolation units, 37.8 sq m. Cattery with seven pens. One cat isolation unit, 20 sq m. Ancillary areas and stores measuring 76.6 sq m.
The residence
Ground floor: Reception hallway. Open plan modern living kitchen, diner and lounge. Living room with patio doors leading to raised decked terrace overlooking the garden. Adjoining ground floor self-contained annexe with double en-suite bedroom, lounge area, kitchenette and study.
First floor: Three good sized bedrooms and house bathroom.
Two large, grassed and fenced paddocks, substantial hard standing parking and an additional potential building plot to the west of the property with access to Old Mains Lane.
The business
Currently, trade is derived from two sources, private pet owners and local authorities, each accounting for approximately 50% of revenue. The kennels and cattery take in strays from four local councils, Blackpool, Fylde, Ribble and Wyre Valleys. The business has a turnover of £172,000 per annum and shows excellent adjusted Net Profits of almost £62,000 per annum. The business has lots of capacity to take on more business as the demand is very high, but the owner chooses to keep the business manageable. More pets would require an additional staff member, and the owner prefers to be fully hands-on herself, with a small team of assistants.
The expansive estate will be of interest to potential buyers who have other recreational interests such as equestrian, as well as a passion for animal care. Alternatively, the business could be liquidated should new owners wish to own a substantial residential property on 5.28 acres of land, with potential to build an exceptional residence, develop the hard standing portions of the property, or seek planning consent to build on the adjoining street-side plot.
Development opportunity
The property offers clear development potential, particularly across the land occupied by the kennels and the adjoining substantial plot, extending to approximately 4.78 acres.
The owners would consider selling the kennels, cattery, and the land immediately east of the kennel blocks separately, if required, at a guide price of £475,000. This presents an excellent opportunity for developers seeking a site suitable for the construction of either one substantial residence or three generously sized homes. See Ernest Wilson ref 591591 for the development opportunity listing.
