Catkins

Catkins is a substantial detached 5 bedroom bungalow occupying a secluded plot of just under 2 acres and provides spacious accommodation currently lending itself to dual occupancy. The main part of the dwelling has three bedrooms whilst there is a good sized 2 bedroom integral annexe which has its own living/dining room, kitchen and en suite bathroom. The two parts of the accommodation are joined by a boot room with a single connecting doorway. Having a dual occupancy facility fits perfectly with a multi-generational family who might want to run the cattery together.

Outside

The property is approached through secure entrance gates with a tarmac drive providing customer parking bays and then leading to the bungalow where there is a large parking area, giving access to a Double Garage which is divided into two parts, comprising a workshop with a small office to the rear and a single garage with shelving. To the rear of the garage is an open fronted section opening to the rear garden. There is a lawned garden to the front with further lawned areas to the side and rear, where there is also a patio.

Cattery

The cattery has been running for over 30 years, and is licenced for 76 cats, there are 22 double bays including the isolation bays, 13 single bays and 5 family bays. The cattery has a long standing and loyal customer base many of whom travel long distances to bring their cats for boarding. Catkins is ideally located between London and the Channel Tunnel/Dover so is an easy drop off being within easy reach of both the M20 & M2.

The cattery is generally full in July, August, September and October and particularly busy at Easter & the October half term holiday and other seasonal times. Gross income figures and net profit figures will be available at the time of viewing. In addition to the 40 ‘bays’ the cattery also comprises a reception building with kitchen & WC together with litter and feed stores.
