Established in 1973, the vendor bought the business in 2001. The business is situated on two Freehold plots of circa 1-1.5 acres in total. Due to the unexpected death of one of the owners the buisness has suffered and has been run at a very low level in recent months.
Site 1
The aquatic plant specialist business is recognised by the Royal Horticultural Society and sells to both the private and trade market, retailing to a customer base of private buyers and landscape gardeners requiring quality pond plants. The aquatics business is primarily a mail order business to a very niche market and is set up on one of the sites. This site houses a very large pond with the wide variety of water lilies and various lined water bases housing a variety of other aquatic plants, there are also covered areas of net tunnels and a growing room.
The stock is grown by the vendor and sold through the excellent website and is recognised for the prompt delivery service.
The quality stock consists of around 25 different types of lilies in total with over 30 alternative varieties of aquatic plants, 80 % of which are home grown. The variety includes Lilies, Deep Water Aquatics, Oxygenating Plants, Free Floating Plants, Marginal, Bog, Moisture and Shade Loving Plants. The business has in place excellent growing facilities, ensuring all plants are of the very highest quality and are offered at very competitive prices.
Site 2
The second of the two adjoining plots has a large barn in place that, with the correct planning permission could be re-developed into a high value 3- 4 bedroom property.
