3 bedroom detached house for sale

The Norfolk Agents are pleased to offer the rare opportunity to purchase an established dog training and kennels business, occupying a private plot of around 2 acres and comprising a detached 2/3 bedroom bungalow, along with an extensive collection of other outbuildings. The current business (which has a 5-star rating) has focussed primarily on Gundog training and breeding; however, the site provides the infrastructure to greatly expand the commercial opportunities by offering boarding, day care or breeding services. The site is ideally located for major road networks in the local area, with direct access onto the A17 and only a 5 minute drive from the A47.

The current owners have made a number of significant improvements to the site in recent years, including 6ft perimeter fencing and a CCTV security system with motion detectors. Improvements have also been made to the living accommodation, which include an electrical re-wire and re-plastering and professional redecoration to much of the bungalow, with new floor coverings throughout.

The property is located on the opposite side of the main road to the main part of the village, where there are a range of amenities and only a 1 mile walk away from a great farm shop/butchers, bar and restaurant. With convenient access to the A17. Kings Lynn is only a 10-minute drive away, whilst Wisbech is approximately 10 miles to the south-west. The property is approached from Market Lane on to a private driveway, with generous parking space to the front of the reception block. The kennels are arranged in a linear fashion behind the bungalow, with a series of gated paths linking the buildings together. There is a formal lawn around the bungalow, with a private patio at the rear. There are various enclosures of grass/artificial grass, with gated access out to the main paddock which measures around 1.2 acres (sts).
