A rare opportunity to acquire a detached two-bedroom freehold bungalow together with an established five-star licensed cattery, providing an attractive home-and-income opportunity within a predominantly residential area of Nottingham.
Glaisdale Cat Lodge is a well-established cattery operating from purpose-built facilities integrated with the residential property. The business is licensed for up to 30 cats and benefits from an established local client base, extensive historic booking records and a 4.2 out of 5 Google rating from 43 reviews.
The freehold property, established business, goodwill, fixtures and fittings are offered together as a going concern.
THE PROPERTY
The residential accommodation comprises a detached two-bedroom bungalow of brick construction beneath a pitched tiled roof.
Providing approximately 60 sq m (650 sq ft) of internal accommodation, the bungalow briefly comprises:
Two bedrooms - one double and one single
Reception room
Kitchen
Family bathroom
The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing throughout, with all mains services connected.
The bungalow has an EPC rating of D and falls within Council Tax Band B.
Access to the residential accommodation is via a side alleyway.
EXTERNALLY
The property benefits from a large front driveway capable of accommodating multiple vehicles, together with a secondary smaller driveway and additional roadside parking.
There are enclosed rear and side garden areas with secure gated access.
CCTV is installed throughout and connected directly to the bungalow.
Recent improvements include new ceramic flooring, new canopies and an upgraded CCTV installation.
THE CATTERY
The purpose-built cattery is of UPVC construction and has been designed specifically for the operation of the business.
The facility comprises:
Nine double runs, each capable of accommodating two cats
Four family runs, each capable of accommodating up to four cats
Separate isolation unit positioned at least 15 metres from the main runs
The business is currently licensed for up to 30 cats and holds a five-star local authority rating.
The cattery facility was purpose-built at a reported cost of approximately £86,000.
The current boarding charge is £15 per cat per day.
THE BUSINESS
Glaisdale Cat Lodge is a well-established boarding cattery which has traded from the property for many years.
The business operates by appointment only, with bookings currently taken by telephone. Extensive booking records have been maintained over a number of years.
We have been advised that the business is currently generating annual sales of approximately £35,000, with turnover historically exceeding £45,000 per annum.
Trading is seasonal, with peak periods including school holidays, summer and Christmas.
The business currently has very little online presence, presenting a clear opportunity for a new owner to introduce a dedicated website, online booking facility and social media marketing.
There may also be scope to review the existing pricing structure.
STAFFING & OPERATIONS
The business is currently owner-operated, with the owner undertaking four feeds per day.
A self-employed assistant works approximately two hours each morning, seven days per week, and has assisted the business for approximately 15 years.
The seller currently administers oral medication but does not undertake injections or diabetic treatment.
LOCATION
The property is situated on Graylands Road within a predominantly residential area of Nottingham, surrounded by established housing including bungalows and family homes.
The location provides convenient access to local amenities and main transport routes, making it readily accessible for customers dropping off and collecting their pets.
The business has operated from this address for many years and benefits from an established local customer base.
TENURE
Freehold.
The property and business are offered together to include the freehold interest, business goodwill, fixtures and fittings.
The residential property alone has been valued by a local commercial agent at approximately £240,000.
BUSINESS RATES & COUNCIL TAX
The commercial element has a current Rateable Value of approximately £2,750.
The seller advises that no business rates are currently payable.
The residential accommodation falls within Council Tax Band B.
EPC
The bungalow has an EPC rating of D.
The EPC records approximately 60 sq m (650 sq ft) of residential floor area.
FLOOR AREA
The residential bungalow extends to approximately 60 sq m (650 sq ft).
The Valuation Office Agency records approximately 90.47 sq m (974 sq ft) of commercial cattery accommodation.
The combined residential and commercial accommodation therefore extends to approximately 150 sq m (1,619 sq ft).
GROWTH POTENTIAL
The business offers a number of relatively straightforward opportunities for a new owner, particularly through the introduction of a dedicated website, online booking system, improved social media presence and a review of the existing pricing structure.
Planning advice obtained by the vendor indicates that additional cat runs are unlikely to be permitted due to space constraints.

Viewing is strictly by prior appointment through Everett Masson & Furby.
