Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-known and highly regarded licensed cattery, located in a popular location on the southern tip of the Cotswolds. It also has a rapidly expanding catchment area.
Recently achieved 5 Star License on 2019 Regulations, will last 3 years until the next inspection.
The property occupies a plot of approx 0.6 acre situated in a idyllic, peaceful yet accessible semi-rural setting amongst open countryside with delightful views yet just a 30 minute drive to Bristol and a little further to Gloucester. The business is also within 20 miles of Bath
There is superb potential to extend under permitted development rights or subject to planning approval.
