Property description

Kenricks are pleased to offer this rare opportunity to purchase this unique well known and popular kennels and cattery business plus house for sale, which is situated in the popular Sea-side Town of St Annes on Sea within walking distance of the Town Centre and the beach.

The business has been owned by our clients since March 1986 but we have been informed that it has been trading for over 40 years.

In addition to the kennels and the cattery business there is also a dog grooming business operating from the premises and separate accounts are available. This business is included in the sale.

Business: We are informed trading accounts for the kennels and cattery for the year end April 2013 are approx £45,000 - £50,000. Trading accounts for the dog grooming business for the year end April 2013 show a turnover of approx £15,000 - £20,000.
