Leeds, West Yorkshire, ID 169228
Freehold marina located on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, offering offline moorings in a tranquil waterside setting while remaining conveniently close to Leeds city centre. The marina provides over 1,000 ft of moorings suitable for a variety of boats, set within well-maintained green surroundings that create a peaceful environment for boat owners and visitors. The business has been established for approximately 30 years and has been under the current ownership since 2001. It benefits from a strong and consistent demand for moorings due to local shortages, resulting in full occupancy and a waiting list for berths. The current turnover has been intentionally maintained below the VAT threshold at around £85,000, although there is significant potential to increase revenue under new ownership. There are no Canal and River Trust fees payable for the canal connection. Facilities include a log cabin office on site, suitable for use as accommodation, along with a large 18m x 11m portal frame workshop or boatbuilding shed. The site is secured with CCTV and a remote-controlled gated entry system. There is also previous lapsed planning permission for potential redevelopment, including a residential dwelling, café, and chandlery. The sale is prompted by the owners’ retirement, offering an opportunity to acquire a well-established marina with clear scope for expansion. Asking price: offers over £850,000.
