The cattery occupies an idyllic setting in the tranquil hamlet of Warmfield, between Wakefield and Normanton, at the end of a quiet lane, yet is also easily accessible as it's situated within close proximity of the connecting motorway network. The major commuter routes and neighbouring towns and villages are all close at hand. The business is therefore ideally placed for ensuring regular repeat trade, as well as attracting new custom from throughout the West Yorkshire and surrounding areas.
The cattery is the largest in the area and has been trading since the mid 1990's and in its present ownership for the last 4 years, (the owners are looking to retire). During this time this well known business has acquired a truly enviable reputation, boasting an extensive and growing loyal customer base, with excellent reviews and enjoys frequent referrals and recommendations.
The modern facilities are well appointed creating a warm, secure and clean boarding environment offering an outdoor area for cats, something which is very exclusive to the Yorkshire Region.
There is a doorbell entry system linked to an extensive CCTV security setup managed via PC and mobile phone. The CCTV system also includes CatCam!, a unique selling point that is a purchasable option allowing customers to log on to a camera and view their cat.
There is an automated online-booking system and the cattery is also managed using the same state-of-the-art piece of software which keeps up to date information on all the feline residents.
The business is successful due to the good name it has established over the years and represents a fantastic purchase for a couple, who can enjoy the lifestyle and financial rewards a business of this nature generates quite literally on a daily basis.
As of March 2023 there is currently £75k worth of advance bookings already scheduled for the year so a successful buyer would be able to 'hit the ground running' . In addition, the current owners live on Goosehill Lane in a different house so they would be available to assist with any teething problems that the new owners may have.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a first class business and a delightful 2 bedroomed cottage which is situated in such a pleasant setting.
