Business for Sale Overview:
This is an exceptional opportunity to purchase an established and well run family business with huge potential for growth, set in amongst the grounds of a beautiful Georgian Country Farm. The current owners bought the premises and land in 1995 and have invested heavily and sympathetically, creating a wonderful combination of businesses all within a compact “Village” style environment.
The idyllic setting provides luxury accommodation for up to 14 people, a restaurant/ tearoom which can cater for up to 80 people at any one time, and shops which sell arts, crafts, gifts and food, with a separate clock maker and workshop attached. There is ample living accommodation for two families, adjoining the guest house block, and the Georgian Farmhouse. Alternatively this living accommodation could be utilised in other ways for expansion.
