Description
Established some seven years ago from what started as a hobby and passing interest in landscape gardening, but which has now quickly outgrown its origins, just when the owners were about ready to retire. An outstanding opportunity for energetic and ambitious new owners to take this hugely popular business and take it to a much more commercial level. Already very profitable from just weekend openings, the demand and potential for growth is colossal. Run from a secure yard in North Yorkshire, the location is perfectly placed, directly off a major A road. This is an excellent location and popular with visitors and tourists alike.
An outdoor Aladdin’s Cave of unique garden architectural items, from an old tin watering can to an elaborate bespoke stone water feature. Reclaimed stone flags, antique chimney pots and ancient stone troughs are popular and highly sought after items. The website has a comprehensive list of items available and is constantly updated with unique items of interest. As well as the general public, the business is well frequented by landscape designers who have been commissioned to restore and create gardens in fine homes and estates. Builders also contact the owners directly, offering reclaimed stone and items from sites they are clearing. This provides very high re-sale profit margins. The business has over 7,500 followers on social media and the website includes an online shopping feature. A wide range of historic items are collected from around the UK and the owners visit large estates, architectural auctions, farm sales and private sellers. The sale price is very realistic and includes some £60,000 of saleable stock.
The yard is very well laid out and is an eclectic and relaxing walk through aisles of idea provoking, eye-catching items. A shipping container is full of items waiting to be displayed when space allows. A portable cabin provides an office with good Wi-Fi connection and the property has running water and a WC. Ample free customer parking. The rent is very reasonable and overheads very low.
EPC Exempt.
