Hillfoots Nurseries is a family run business. The main business consists of bedding plants, household plants and other garden centre products.

Tillicoultry sits on the edge of the Ochil Hills in Clackmannanshire, Scotland. Originally a manufacturing town in the 1700's, the town is now mainly a residential area within easy reach of Stirling and other main towns due to the great transport links and nearby arterial routes to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

There are various commercial businesses within the town including Sterling Mills, a large retail outlet operation on the edge of Tillicoultry, with occupiers including Costa, Next and a Nike Factory outlet.

A large traditional greenhouse building within an additional annex building attached constructed of corrugated metal panels. There are three poly tunnels outside for nurturing plug planting and saplings, along with other open gardens for small shrubs and saplings.

There is a workshop area that stores all the equipment for growing and tending to the fauna and flora.

We have been advised that all equipment within the business is owned outright and will be part of the sale.

Main plant machinery consists of the following:

Mowers: 1 x Torro Reelmaster 3100D, 1 x Ransomes Parkway 2250, 1 x John Deere 3235C 5gang

Ball picking machine Cubota722E

Forklift: Hyster180

Golf ball washing machine

£375,000 for the freehold interest of the land, nursery and driving range.

Attached to the nursery is a 15 bay golf driving range. Constructed of corrugated metal, the bays are furnished with Astroturf tees and they outlook southwards onto the 14 acre site of predominately flat turfed land. There is a waiting area with balls purchased in the main nursery greenhouse.

There is a small external toilet facility for ladies and gents.

There is an opportunity for an individual or couple to take over the unit and tend to the existing business whilst redeveloping and modernising it. The location of the business is stunning and it really would be a true lifestyle change for someone interested in horticulture.

The golf driving range requires minimal involvement from the owners and generates a substantial part of the present profit of the overall business. The range could be extended to cover the whole of the site, whilst sacrificing the nursery operation to concentrate on this area of the business.

Alternatively, the whole site could be of interest to a building company looking for land for residential or commercial purposes.

The business is currently run by the owners.

Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations (TUPE) will not apply in this transaction.
