4 SITUATION Located in a peaceful setting, rural but not isolated, and within easy reach of Tavistock town and the amenities therein. Tavistock is a thriving market town adjoining the western edge of the Dartmoor National Park and was in 2004 voted the winner of a nationwide survey undertaken by the Council for the Protection of Rural England involving 120 other market towns. Among the assets taken into consideration were history, architecture, community spirit, planning sensitivity, recreational facilities and individuality of shops and businesses. Additional facilities include a hospital, a bustling Pannier Market and a full range of schools both State and Private. Indeed Tavistock can claim to have everything adding up to a quality of life which would be hard to rival. Plymouth is only 15 miles away with fast Inter City rail links to London, Bristol and the North. There are also ferry services to Roscoff, Brittany and Santander, Northern Spain. DESCRIPTION A well regarded kennels and cattery business, run by a husband and wife team who have been successfully trading in this sector since The business is profitable and provides our clients with a reliable and predictable income - recent accounts are available for inspection upon request and subject to the signing of a confidentiality agreement.
