Description
THE OPPORTUNITY
A rare opportunity has become available to purchase the freehold of The Boat Yard. The premises is located on Annesdale in Ely’s Waterside area and is situated in a scenic position adjacent to the picturesque River Great Ouse. The total site measures 0.13 acres (0.053ha) and may be suitable for either residential or commercial development. Although the site’s development potential has not yet been explored, our client informs us the site does not fall within a flood zone and that the Local Authority may be open to granting planning permission.
The site would suit a variety of different uses: a bespoke ‘grand design’ style residential dwelling, Canalside hospitality venue or industrial premises. For further information regarding the planning process, please visit the East Cambridgeshire District Council planning portal at
The site is currently operated as a traditional boatyard and comprises an open plan, detached workshop and a cut (a small canal). The business specialises in narrowboat and widebeam fit-outs and repairs.
Our client has been involved in the business since 2002 and now wishes to sell the premises in order to retire.
