We are delighted to announce the sale of our client's garden centre and growing nursery, which trades from a large plot within a scenic location close to a major South Essex High Street. The business has traded for eighteen years, building a good, local reputation for excellent customer service and quality of plants, but due to the sellers advancing years, a new dynamic owner could considerably increase the product range and boost income further. The overall site is around 3/4 of an acre and consists of a car park, three poly tunnels, one of which is heated, greenhouses, a shade house, and plenty of plant display areas. Additionally, there is a stable, and although the rear section of the centre is a little overgrown, it would make a perfect paddock area for a pony or goat. Without doubt, this is a fantastic opportunity to build a really impressive business for a nominal initial investment. As an indication of the established customer level, we are advised that the client sold 400 hanging baskets this season. An additional benefit of the business is a pitch at Pitsea Market, which is included in the sale. A van is available by separate negotiation if required.
Location wise, the garden centre is located on a made-up road with excellent walking and vehicular access. We anticipate significant interest and would suggest an early appointment to view.
