THE BUSINESS

Our client has owned the business through 3 generations of the same family and has not been offered to the market previously though an agency. Sales are running at a steady and unstreched £400,000 inc vat but this should be considered as the starting block from which to build upon as the owners run the business along traditional family lines and to their own personal needs. The property is well suited for “branding” though it has to be said that it is also an ideal “Trophy “ buy.
