CoGoGo is delighted to welcome to the market this popular cattery business, which is ideally situated within approximately 3 acres of land in the village of Newton, near Preston. The business was established by our clients in 2013 and is only now being offered to the market, due to our clients’ family commitments. The business operates 7 days per week and generates a turnover in the region of £33,600, as per the 2017 accounts. The turnover is for the cattery side of the business only. Our clients’ offer cattery care facilities, with 14 chalets for the cats and 10 double kennels for dogs. The Cattery chalets are built on two levels with a private sleeping area in the upper level. The ground floor area containing scratch post, toys and eating area. The cattery is built to F.A.B specifications and to a very high standard. The premises are registered for 30 cats and includes a double isolation unit. The kennel building is built to Council specifications with 10 double sized kennels of which 3 are designated Whelping rooms. The building is well insulated and also contains a large play room and kitchen area with hot and cold water. The lighting for the building is to the latest LED quality inside and LED floodlighting outside. The building is fully alarmed with CCTV cameras. The building is set within a large grassed area for dog socialization and exercise. The Council planning permission at present is for a dog breeding establishment but the premises could easily be used for dog boarding / doggy day care or an extension to the Cattery business with the relevant permissions being sought. The owners’ accommodation consists of a large lounge with log burner, a dining room with patio doors into a private garden, a fully fitted kitchen with gas AGA, bathroom and 3 double bedrooms. The property is very well maintained and decorated to a very high standard throughout. We are advised that our client regularly turns away business as they didn’t have enough capacity, although there is a block of 3 large stables adjacent to the cattery which could be converted into further cat chalets and could increase the turnover significantly. The cattery has built up an excellent reputation within the area for the very high quality of care offered, which has resulted in a loyal client base, with a high amount of repeat trade and word of mouth recommendations. The cattery already has an excellent and very informative website in place to advertise the business at www.mayfieldcathotel.co.uk, as well as a page on the popular social media website Facebook and has excellent reviews. This is an excellent opportunity for a new owner, perhaps a husband and wife team or partnership, to take this cattery business to the next level, therefore early discussions with CoGoGo must come highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
