Didlington Nurseries, Field Lodge Didlington, Thetford, Norfolk, IP26 5AT

Christie & Co are delighted to bring to market a well established and plant nursery based in South-West Suffolk, in the village of Didlington.
The nursery occupies an impressive four acre plot of land within a walled garden, offering a wide array of plants, trees and shrubs as well as other goods such as compost, decorative stone and garden tools from its on-site shop.
Located adjacent to the nursery, is a freehold residential property with a tenant in situ, representing an opportunity for additional recurring revenue with minimal associated costs.
This site is currently run by the owner who wishes to retire and seeks a purchaser to realise the value of his investment and ensure the continued success of the business.

Didlington Nurseries is located in the village of Didlington, which is 11 miles North-West of Thetford and 29 miles West of Norwich.
According to the latest census data 210,201 people live within a 25km radius of the garden centre and local demographic analysis shows favourable conditions for garden centres with above average home ownership and owner-occupied housing.

The site is maintained to a high standard. Within the 4-acre walled garden are facilities including the main brick building used as the selling area, a number of polytunnels and glass houses, as well as a generous customer car park.
There is a freehold property located next to the site which would form part of the sale of the entire freehold. This property benefits from a tenant in situ generating an income of £12,000 of revenue per annum and has an agricultural tie.

The business would make an excellent acquisition for a trade buyer seeking to expand their existing network; or for an owner-operator to acquire a long-established nursery with a strong reputation for supplying a wide range of quality plants at competitive prices.
The business benefits from consistent and predictable revenues and is well located in a prime South-West Norfolk position with ample on-site parking. Set on an impressive freehold plot the opportunity also includes a residential property offering potential recurring rental income or onsite owner accommodation.
The nursery has achieved positive results with minimal online presence and no website, presenting a clear opportunity to grow revenues through enhanced digital visibility, including the potential introduction of an e-commerce platform. Revenues are currently generated primarily through direct-to-consumer sales; however, there is significant scope to expand a complementary B2B revenue stream by partnering with and supplying garden centres, commercial entities and landscaping companies.
It is anticipated that a purchaser would acquire the entire share capital of the Company, with offers expected to be based on an adjusted net asset value together with an element to reflect the goodwill of the profitable trading nature of the business.

The business is run by the owner with the assistance of 3 full-time Nursery Workers.
Full details of the staff that will transfer under TUPE can be provided.

Monday – Sunday 9.00am – 4.00pm

The rateable value for the year beginning 1st April 2026 is £4,150.
