About Netherfield Cattery:
Built and completed at the end of November 2013, our 5* licenced and fully insured 36 berth Feline Advisory Bureau standard cattery, boasts chalet pens with individually heated penthouse bedroom areas and large run areas. We can accommodate up to 45 cats and have large family pens that can hold up to 4 or 5 cats from the same household.

Each pen has a heated penthouse bedroom area that is insulated, fully enclosed and finished with a hygienic wipe-down surface. The penthouse is accessed through a cat sized entrance via a wide ramp leading up to it. The ramp forms a gentle route down to a 9 foot run, (in the majority of pens), that is both light and airy with individual lighting and the pens enclosed on 3 sides with full length sneeze barriers. A safety corridor runs the entire length of the fully insulated building, and has opening UPVC double glazed windows throughout for those hot summer days, and to keep out the chill in the colder months. All chalet pens have views over our large garden, with 7 having direct window views.

There are a number of items negotiable within the sale including a sign written Land Rover Freelander, a ride on lawnmower and hot tub and more.

For serious buyers, further information will be made available about the business, including profit and loss, please contact Hull Gregson Hull to arrange a visit.

Vendor Says - 'Our time at Netherfield with it's beautiful setting and unique accommodation, is an unrivalled experience. Built in 1966 with the unusual design of the bungalow thought out by my father and built by my stone mason Grandfather with his colleagues, this is a one-off residence with the added bonus of a well-established and highly regarded business. The wrap around extension was designed and built by us with our builder friend, so it portrays a very exclusive layout with the original hand carved 1966 date still on show in the kitchen.

Netherfield bungalow comprises of true Portland Stone interspersed with many unusual features such as a genuine Ammonite built into the wall and exterior chimney stack with Witches Stones jutting out. According to folklore, these small ledges were used by witches to rest on as they fly to their Sabbat and householders would provide these platforms to appease witches and avoid their ill favour! There is also a distinctive island in the kitchen made from cylindrically carved Portland Stone with a 2inch thick black marble top.

Our internal living space is out of this world, with large open rooms suitable for everyone. An opportunity to convert the largest bedroom into 2, is an added bonus, as well as having a large outside eating/seating area, the hot tub with pergola and the children's large play area.

We love the fact that behind us is agricultural land that flows right out to the cliffs, giving interrupted views throughout the seasons. With families of Skylarks, Pheasants and all types of wildlife, this really adds to the rural setting of our land to the rear and brings a tranquil calm.

We have built the Cattery business up to an extremely high standard over the last 12 years, and due to it's versatility, new owners could run it as a family business as we do, or have the opportunity to sit back and relax and let a manager run it for them. With a huge client base, anyone wishing to live here and run the business can start earning immediately with bookings already taken well into the next financial year.'
