THRIVING GARDEN CENTRE BUSINESS IN CENTRAL ROSELAND LOCATION
Four bedroom detached house with orchard and large gardens, sales shop, four commercial polytunnels and one netted tunnel, various sheds/stores and large parking area.
Excellent unopposed position adjacent to the A3078.
Total site area approx 2 acres.
Part of site previously utilised for a cafe with temporary buildings.
Huge further potential.
Council tax- E. Freehold. EPC- E.
General Remarks And Location - The availability of this property affords a rare chance of purchasing a viable business in a superb trading position and with much further potential.
Roseland Plant centre and Leire House lies on the edge of the hamlet of Ruanhighlanes alongside the A3078 road which is the arterial route along the Roseland Peninsula linking St Mawes with the A390Truro/St Austell road. Ruanhighlanes is virtually the centre-point of the Roseland Peninsula and hence the business draws trade from the whole of the area and in most respects is virtually unopposed. The area is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOB) and the population is probably doubled during the summer months by the influx of holiday visitors. Because of the mild climate the season starts earlier and lasts longer than many other parts of the county and hence the passing road trade is continuous throughout the year.
The property comprises a detached 4 bedroom centrally-heated house together with large gardens, orchard and landscaped terrace, a sales shop, four commercial polytunnels, a further netted commercial tunnel, toilet block, various sheds and storage and a large parking area. The site has also been utilised for a cafe with temporary buildings and whilst this use has been discontinued there is huge potential in this respect.
The overall site extends to 2 acres or thereabouts with the house privately positioned towards the rear of the site and the trading area with public nearest the road frontage.
The Business - The business has been operated for many years originally opening in the mid 1980's as a farm shop and subsequently hugely expanded by successive ownership. It is primarily a Nursery concentrating on growing and selling plants and associated items but more recently it has diversified with the addition of a fishing tackle and equipment element housed in an adjoining building to the main sales area. A former cafe with temporary buildings accessed through the Nursery sales area was much frequented and subject to any necessary consent this could be re-established. A toilet block in this area remains as a permanent structure.
The business currently opens during the summer months from 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4 pm on Sundays. In winter months this is reduced to 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday only.
Details of trading figures will be available on request to bona fide applicants only.
The Residence - The house is set at the end of a private drive and is a two-storey timber frame building with rendered elevations and double glazed windows . It was built subject to an Agricultural Planning Restriction whereby an occupant must be employed in an agricultural, horticultural or forestry capacity. It is a comfortable modern home with plenty of space, full LPG gas central heating and ideal for family occupation.
