The Business

The property has been in the same ownership since

1996 and the holiday cottage and apartment are let

out via a national agent, being “Cottages 4 You” and

are promoted via their website being

www.woodview-cottages.co.uk. The business is not

VAT registered and the separate paddock is let at

£300 per calendar month as an equestrian

smallholding. The gross turnover in tax year

2014/2015 from the cottage lettings and the paddock

was £14,000.

The former offices have the potential to be

converted into an extra two storey 1 bedroom

holiday letting cottage subject to gaining the

relevant planning consents. The new cottage would

have the potential to be inter-connected into

Mowhay Cottage if required. Trading information

can be provided to bona fide purchasers.
