Established Niche Market Woodcrafts Business For Sale

Business description

A long established, well-known and extremely well equipped niche market Woodcrafts business occupying a stunning trading position in Eyam Hall Craft Centre at the heart of the beautiful, historic Peak District village of Eyam.

Peter Laurence Woodcrafts is a multifaceted business, specialising in the creation of beautifully crafted hand made wooden Rocking Horses of the very highest quality, alongside the retail of a very wide selection of imported unique wooden products including fine furniture, animal sculptures and ornaments etc. The business is famous for ‘Arabella’, the beautiful rocking horse who has been the star of many shows and exhibitions across the UK.

Whilst this business will naturally appeal to a skilled craftsman such as our client, we feel that it is ripe for development in a number of areas, as neither the Rocking Horse nor the imported products aspects of the business have ever benefited from the marketing and advertising necessary to move it to the next level.

The business has been operated by our client since 2002, and is now offered for sale due to his impending retirement. We feel that this is a realistically priced opportunity offering significant scope for further development by the enthusiastic and suitably skilled new owner.

Premises: Spacious, superbly equipped retail and workshop premises of approx. 1072 sq ft, briefly comprising:
Ground Floor: large sales area with customer service counter, stock display shelving and racking. Good size workshop, extremely well equipped and fitted with a range of high quality woodcraft machinery and tools. This area could be used for additional sales area if required.
First Floor: Mezzanine stock display area and separate administration office area.
Please Note: Included within the asking price for the business is all of the fixtures, fittings, furniture and equipment (with the exception of ‘Arabella’), along with a signwritten Toyota HiAce 2.4 Diesel Van with Full Service History.
Viewing: Please contact this office and we will arrange a suitable appointment time for both parties.
Offers: All offers are for the leasehold, goodwill, equipment, fixtures and fittings and should be made to this office.
Finance: If you need help or advice please contact us. Our in-house Finance Department specialises in arranging the funding for all types of business purchase.
Terms & Conditions: Please read our Terms & Conditions overleaf before proceeding.
