Freehold Garden Centre with Retail, Trade & Storage Consent — Reading, Berkshire

A freehold garden centre in Reading, Berkshire, run as a family business and trading from a site within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site holds permissions for retail, trade and storage use, and separately carries planning permission for four storage units at its southern end together with an access road. SITE AND INFRASTRUCTURE - Large glasshouse - Three polytunnels (large, medium and small) - Brick-built building with staff facilities - Mains power and water distributed across the site - Large customer car park to the front TRADE The business sells plants, composts, nutrients, fertilisers and general garden products, and reports a customer base drawing from a wide catchment. Turnover and profit are not disclosed in the public advert and are available from the seller on request. WHY WE'VE INCLUDED IT Freehold horticultural sites with existing storage consent are uncommon in the Thames Valley. The storage permission is the most interesting feature here — it offers a buyer an income stream that is not dependent on seasonal retail footfall, and it may support a valuation above what the trading accounts alone would justify. POINTS TO VERIFY IN DILIGENCE - Current status and expiry date of the storage planning permission - Basis of the £1.8m freehold guide, and what stock at valuation adds on top - Trading accounts for the last three years, and seasonality of margin - AONB constraints on any further development of the site ———————————————————— SOURCE AND ATTRIBUTION This is an aggregated listing.
