Offers Around £345,000
A rare opportunity to acquire a detached three-bedroom freehold bungalow together with an established and profitable five-star licensed cattery, offering an attractive home-and-income lifestyle opportunity in Eastwood, Nottingham.
Cats @ Ratcliffe Luxury Cat Hotel has traded from the property since 2015 and has developed an excellent reputation, with approximately 90% repeat clientele, a 100% recommendation rate from 87 Facebook reviews and forward bookings into 2027.
The property and business are offered together as a freehold going concern, including the residential accommodation, purpose-built cattery, goodwill, fixtures and fittings.
THE PROPERTY
The residential accommodation comprises a detached single-storey bungalow of brick construction beneath a tiled pitched roof, with double glazing and gas central heating.
The accommodation includes:
Large sitting room with feature fireplace and French doors overlooking the rear garden
Rear sun room
Modern fitted kitchen with induction hob, extractor and integrated appliances
Three bedrooms
En-suite shower room
Family bathroom
Entrance hallway
Integral garage, currently used for storage
Partly boarded loft offering potential for further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents
The bungalow has an EPC rating of C (70) and is Council Tax Band C.
Externally, there is a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles together with an attractive and well-maintained rear garden incorporating lawns, mature hedging, fruit trees, paved pathways and a raised tiered area.
THE CATTERY
The purpose-built cattery is positioned within the rear garden and was constructed by specialist manufacturer Peticular Pens.
The facility comprises seven suites and is currently licensed for up to 18 cats. The accommodation includes four double suites, one quad suite, one larger suite capable of accommodating up to six cats from the same household, together with a separate isolation unit.
Each suite is individually thermostatically controlled and benefits from full-height sneeze barriers, exercise areas, cat trees, beds and toys. The facility is covered by 24-hour CCTV.
Ancillary accommodation includes a dedicated timber-clad business office with workstation, refrigerator and storage, a separate utility and food preparation area with fitted worktops, sink and washing machine, and an external wash-down and storage building.
The Valuation Office Agency records approximately 67 sq m (721 sq ft) of commercial accommodation, comprising approximately 49 sq m of cattery accommodation and 18 sq m of external storage.
THE BUSINESS
Cats @ Ratcliffe was established in 2015 and operates as a specialist cat-only boarding business.
The cattery holds a five-star rating from Broxtowe Borough Council under the relevant animal welfare licensing regulations and is licensed for 18 cats.
A key feature of the business is its established reputation for personal and specialist care, including administering medication where required. Approximately 90% of bookings are from returning customers and the business has forward bookings into 2027.
The business is currently operated by the vendor with no employees transferring.
For the year ended 31st March 2025, turnover was £38,366 with an adjusted net profit of approximately £19,364. The business is not VAT registered.
TENURE
Freehold.
The property and business are offered together at Offers Around £345,000, to include the freehold property, business goodwill, fixtures and fittings.
The residential property has been valued at approximately £316,000 within the asking price.
BUSINESS RATES
The commercial element has a Rateable Value of £2,500 and currently benefits from 100% Small Business Rates Relief, resulting in no business rates being payable by the present owner.
LOCATION
The property occupies a residential position on Ratcliffe Street in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire.
Eastwood benefits from good road connections via the A610 and Junction 26 of the M1, providing convenient access to Nottingham and the wider Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire areas.
The combination of a residential setting and accessibility has helped the cattery develop a broad and established customer base.
PLANNING AND LICENSING
The property is subject to an existing planning condition preventing customer drop-offs and collections on Sundays and Bank Holidays. The current consent also prevents further extension of the cattery.
The vendor believes there may be scope for a future owner to seek variation of these conditions, subject to the necessary planning approval.
The incoming operator will also need to satisfy the relevant requirements of Broxtowe Borough Council in relation to transfer and continuation of the cattery licence.
BUSINESS POTENTIAL
The business is established and profitable, with a substantial level of repeat custom and forward bookings already secured.
Further potential may exist through reviewing pricing, introducing online booking, increasing digital marketing and, subject to obtaining the necessary consent, expanding the cattery accommodation and capacity.
PRICE
Offers Around £345,000 Freehold
To include the detached three-bedroom bungalow, established cattery business, goodwill, fixtures and fittings.
