SOLD - Phoenix Marketing Products, Burton on Trent

LICENCED TRADE MARKETING BUSINESS in Derbyshire

Well respected and long established marketing company providing a wide range of advertising products promoting the brand of customer clients, particularly within the drinks industry (breweries and micro breweries, pubs and clubs, restaurants etc.), visitor centres and gift shops. The business is managed by our client but run predominantly by staff and is only now reluctantly offered for sale due to our clients long overdue impending retirement. Huge scope here for a younger new owner to really drive sales, particularly by transforming the business online offering to a full e-commerce site - currently all sales require human interaction. This would enable more time to be spent developing sales with account customers and canvassing for new sales. EASILY RUN BUSINESS WHICH HAS PROVIDED OUR CLIENT WITH A GOOD LIVING FOR OVER 30 YEARS. Business on lease. Ref: 585539

An attractive stone farmhouse thought to date back to 1850 which has been extended over its lifetime to provide extensive accommodation over two floors. The main house is currently used as a three bedroom home with three spacious reception rooms and two shower rooms. The entrance hall to the main house is vast and provides a great space to house a home office if required. The dining room is a lovely room, exposing the original character of the home with exposed stone work and a feature fireplace. To the rear of the main home there is also a delightful study / sun room which has sliding doors overlooking the pretty well stocked gardens the property provides. The large galley style kitchen also gives a great vantage point over the garden with its various windows looking out.

The annex gives versatility to the property as it can be integral to the main house or be shut off so this area is independent with its own front door from the driveway. The annex has two bedrooms, one single and one double with its own en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is adjacent to the handy bathroom. The annex kitchen gives an option to serve as a utility room to the main house should you prefer these areas to be lived in together and would only require a cooker and hob to be fitted. A superb lounge completes the annex accommodation with a vaulted ceiling and dual aspect windows offering a great area in which to relax overlooking the garden.

During the current owner’s occupation there has also been added a large two-bedroom Norwegian log cabin, which offers further accommodation for an elderly relative, guests or perhaps an income stream subject to relevant permissions. The cabin is fully insulated and offers a large sitting room, one double and one single bedroom, a wet room and its own kitchen, ensuring its layout is more than comfortable for all year-round use.
