BEDROCK CATTERY & KENNELS – ESTABLISHED 5-STAR LICENSED BUSINESS, THREE-BEDROOM DETACHED HOME & APPROX. 1.4 ACRES – MARCH, CAMBRIDGESHIRE

AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS. AN ENVIABLE COUNTRYSIDE LIFESTYLE. AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT YOUR OWN.

Imagine waking up in your own countryside home, surrounded by open Fenland landscapes, with no daily commute, no journey to the office and an established business waiting just a short walk from your front door.

For many people, it's the dream. At Bedrock Cattery & Kennels, it could become reality.

Next Level Property is delighted to present this rare opportunity to acquire an established, family-run cattery and kennels business, together with a substantial three-bedroom detached home, purpose-built animal boarding facilities and approximately 1.4 acres of grounds, occupying a peaceful rural position on the outskirts of March, Cambridgeshire.

This is not simply a house with kennels in the garden. It is a complete business and lifestyle opportunity, offering the chance to take over an existing operation with a 9-year trading history, an excellent reputation, an established customer base and bookings already secured for 2027.

Whether you're an experienced animal-care professional, an existing business owner looking to expand or someone dreaming of turning a lifelong love of animals into a rewarding career, Bedrock offers a fantastic opportunity to combine business ownership with countryside living.

THE BUSINESS – 9 YEARS OF BUILDING SOMETHING SPECIAL

Established approximately 9 years ago, Bedrock Cattery & Kennels has been lovingly developed and operated by its current owners as a small, family-run business, building an excellent reputation for the care and attention provided to its four-legged guests.

That dedication is reflected in the excellent reviews received through both Google and Facebook, with customers returning and recommending the business to others.

The business currently holds a 5-star animal boarding licence, with licensed capacity for up to 24 cats and 10 dogs. The existing licence operates on a three-year renewal cycle, demonstrating the established nature of the operation.

Importantly, the business is currently run by the owners themselves, without employees, making it particularly appealing to a couple or family looking to take control of their working lives.

And unlike starting a business from scratch, the opportunity here includes an established trading name, existing customer relationships, goodwill and an operational infrastructure already in place.

Turnover figures for the 2025/26 financial year are available to genuinely interested purchasers, and the sale will include existing bookings for 2027, giving incoming owners the opportunity to build upon the foundations already created.

For the right purchaser, this is an opportunity to take over a business that has taken more than a decade to establish.

THE CATTERY – PURPOSE-BUILT ACCOMMODATION WITH EXPANSION POTENTIAL

The cattery currently comprises 15 individual cat chalets, providing dedicated boarding accommodation within the established business premises.

The facilities have been thoughtfully arranged with security, animal welfare and practical day-to-day management in mind, incorporating secure internal and external corridor arrangements.

The current licence allows for up to 24 cats, and there is potential to increase the number of chalets from 15 to approximately 20, subject to the necessary consents and licensing approvals.

For an incoming owner with ambitions to grow the business, this offers an interesting opportunity to explore increased accommodation capacity while building upon the existing reputation and customer base.

THE KENNELS – COMFORT, SECURITY & ROOM TO DEVELOP

Alongside the cattery, the business operates purpose-built dog boarding facilities comprising five individual kennels benefiting from underfloor heating, helping provide comfortable accommodation for canine guests throughout the year.

The kennel facilities incorporate secure internal and external corridors, allowing animals to be managed safely and efficiently.

In addition to the five operational kennels, four further kennel units are prepared for potential expansion, offering another opportunity for an incoming owner to explore the future development of the business, subject to the appropriate approvals.

With existing licensed capacity for 10 dogs, the kennels form an important part of the overall business operation.

RECEPTION, KITCHEN, PREPARATION & STORAGE FACILITIES

The business benefits from a range of dedicated supporting facilities, providing the practical infrastructure needed for its day-to-day operation.

These include a reception area for welcoming customers and their pets, a kitchen, a separate preparation room and storage accommodation, together with additional sheds and useful outbuildings.

The arrangement allows the business to function independently of the main residential accommodation, helping maintain a practical distinction between home life and the working environment.

APPROXIMATELY ¾ ACRE SECURE EXERCISE FIELD

One of the particularly impressive features is the substantial secure exercise field extending to approximately three-quarters of an acre.

Providing generous outdoor space for exercise and activities, this enclosed area is a valuable asset to the boarding business, offering room for dogs to enjoy exercise away from the main kennel accommodation.

The field also contributes enormously to the overall appeal of the property, with its open surroundings, countryside outlook and sense of space.

For those who love animals, having this amount of dedicated outdoor space immediately alongside the business and home is a tremendous advantage.

THE HOUSE – A HOME TO CALL YOUR OWN

Of course, a business opportunity is only part of the story.

Included in the sale is a substantial three-bedroom detached family home, providing comfortable and versatile accommodation, allowing the owners to enjoy their own private living space alongside the business.

The ground floor offers a welcoming lounge with an attractive fireplace, a separate dining room, a fitted kitchen with cream shaker-style units and a useful additional reception/utility area providing extensive storage.

There is also a dedicated office, particularly convenient for managing the administrative side of the business, dealing with bookings and keeping everything organised without having to leave home.

A generous ground-floor bedroom adds flexibility to the accommodation, while the ground-floor shower facilities provide further everyday convenience.

Upstairs, two additional double bedrooms offer comfortable sleeping accommodation.

The overall layout is well suited to a couple or family looking to combine residential living with the demands and rewards of operating their own business.

And at the end of a busy day caring for other people's pets, there's something rather appealing about simply walking back through your own front door!

THE GROUNDS – SPACE, FREEDOM & COUNTRYSIDE LIVING

The entire property extends to approximately 1.4 acres, incorporating the house, gardens, business facilities and secure exercise field.

The residential grounds provide generous lawned areas, established trees, shrubs and planting, creating an attractive outdoor environment in which to relax and unwind.

There are additional sheds, useful storage areas, a polytunnel and spaces for growing plants and vegetables, adding another dimension to the countryside lifestyle on offer.

The grounds also currently accommodate alpacas, demonstrating the versatility of the outdoor space for those with a wider interest in keeping animals.

With generous parking, practical access and a range of established buildings, the property offers a level of flexibility that would be difficult to replicate in a conventional residential setting.

Beyond the boundaries, the surrounding Fenland countryside provides far-reaching rural views, big open skies and a wonderful sense of space.

A RURAL LOCATION WITH AN ESTABLISHED CUSTOMER CATCHMENT

Situated on the outskirts of March, Cambridgeshire, Bedrock Cattery & Kennels enjoys a rural setting away from the hustle and bustle of town life, while remaining accessible to March and the surrounding Fenland communities.

The location offers the best of both worlds: the peace, space and freedom associated with countryside living, combined with access to an established local population from which the business has developed its customer base over the past 9 years.

March itself provides a good range of everyday amenities, supermarkets, independent shops, schools and leisure facilities, together with a railway station offering connections towards Peterborough, Ely and Cambridge.

For someone looking to relocate and embrace a different way of life, the setting offers plenty of appeal.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON 9 YEARS OF HARD WORK

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Bedrock Cattery & Kennels is that the next owner won't be starting with an empty field, a business plan and a dream.

The current owners have already spent 9 years establishing the business, developing the facilities, building customer relationships and earning a reputation that has resulted in excellent reviews and repeat bookings.

The foundations are there.

The buildings are there.

The customer base is there.

And with bookings already in place for 2027, there is an opportunity for a new owner to take the reins and write the next chapter.

There is also the possibility of exploring further expansion of the existing facilities, subject to the necessary permissions and licensing, giving an ambitious purchaser something to work towards in the future.

For someone with the enthusiasm, dedication and love of animals needed to operate a boarding business, this could be a genuine life-changing opportunity.

MORE THAN A PROPERTY PURCHASE – A COMPLETE CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE

It's not every day that an opportunity comes along to purchase your home, your workplace and an established business together.

No daily commute. No separate business premises to travel to. Just the freedom to live and work in one countryside location, surrounded by space and doing something you genuinely enjoy.

Bedrock Cattery & Kennels offers the chance to take over a respected local business, enjoy a comfortable detached family home and embrace a rural lifestyle on approximately 1.4 acres.

Eleven years of hard work have created the opportunity. The next chapter is waiting for someone new.

If you've been searching for an established animal boarding business, a lifestyle change or the opportunity to become your own boss, this is one property that deserves your attention.
