About this property

ESTABLISHED CATTERY & CAT CAFÉ BUSINESS WITH OWNERS’ ACCOMMODATION - DEVON

A rare opportunity to acquire an established, fully operational cattery and cat café business, offered as a going concern and marketed with a clear focus on its commercial viability, income potential and future growth, rather than as a standard residential sale.

This property is intentionally presented to appeal to business owners, lifestyle investors and owner operators seeking a proven enterprise with on site accommodation, rather than traditional residential buyers. The emphasis is firmly placed on the trading business, facilities and income streams, with the substantial residence regarded as a supporting asset.

Located approximately five minutes from Newton Abbot, Moor View Farm offers a turnkey business operation with the added benefit of living accommodation, set within around one acre in an accessible semi rural position.

THE BUSINESS

At the core of the offering is the established Cool for Cats Café, a well-recognised adults only (16+) cat café attracting customers from across Devon. The café has built a loyal customer base and benefits from strong repeat trade, with its calm, therapeutic environment forming a key part of its appeal.

The business has received significant recent investment, allowing an incoming purchaser to continue trading immediately with no requirement for further capital expenditure.

Recent upgrades include:

Fully refurbished customer lounge

New cake display and professional catering equipment

Serviced commercial coffee machine

Modern EPOS till system and replacement computer

Purpose?built kitten room enhancing customer engagement and footfall

There is clear scope to further increase turnover through private bookings, themed sessions, retail activity or extended trading, subject to any necessary consents.

Secure new cat flaps throughout

Remote camera access and monitoring systems
