SOLD - Mahon Kennels & Cattery, Ferryhill, County Durham

OUTSTANDING KENNELS BUSINESS AND RESIDENCE in Ferryhill, County Durham

One of the finest kennels and cattery businesses to come to the open market in recent times. A truly impressive country house set in extensive grounds totalling circa 1.1 acres with long distance views out toward the Cleveland Way area of natural beauty. Mahon House Kennels and Cattery boasts excellent reviews and prides itself in providing a warm, loving and safe environment for its clients beloved pets. Situated in a rural part of County Durham yet easily accessible from the A1(M) and A177 - an extensive catchment area which includes Bishop Auckland, Billingham, Darlington, Durham, Hartlepool, Newton Aycliffe, Sedgefield and Stockton-on-Tees. In-plan and in-build new housing projects promise to substantially expand the current customer client base. The kennels and cattery are registered for 60 dogs and 25 cats. The kennels are made up of enclosures to suit small dogs, large dogs and family groups of dogs. Both dog and cat enclosures have a heating supply. Outside covered runs for safe and secure exercise, plus a 30-metre-long grassy paddock for play. Spacious cat cabins have windows, shelving and cat flaps to covered, individual outdoor runs. Larger cabins for clients with several cats. To each block of kennels and cabins there is a specific feed prep and utility area. Other small pets such as rabbits, hamsters and birds can be catered for too. Large customer car park and reception block, with a professionally equipped wash and grooming room.

Running a kennels and cattery business was part of that dream. Our clients bought the property and business with one eye on retirement and with the idea that they would run the business on a fairly low-key basis to suit their intended lifestyle, however, their reputation has put them in very high regard with pet owners and subsequently the demand for their services is rapidly outgrowing their energy levels.

Ernest Wilson review of the year so far

The first 4 months of 2023 have been very busy with an upturn in enquiries, viewings and offers which is very encouraging.

Food businesses continue to be very popular but also lifestyle businesses are still in demand and have been so since the pandemic.

Many kennels and cattery sales plus husband & wife businesses like post offices, village shops are also proving extremely popular.

Banks still have an appetite for lending even though interest rates have increased, there are still competitive deals to be had, subject to status.

All in all, 2023 has stated in fine form and augurs well for the future of anyone looking to buy or sell a business.
