Property Details

29.12 acres (23.92 hectares) of an operational Dimension Stone Quarry with aggregate crushing consent and future commercial development subject to planning. Freehold quarry with associated land. Includes trading business and assets. The Property is an operational dimension stone quarry that extracts and dresses Oolitic Limestone stone for use in specialist architectural projects and as a building and walling stone. Current permitted reserves are estimated to be in excess of 900,000 tonnes in total and this is comprised of approximately 245,000 tonnes approved under a recently reviewed planning permission and a newly approved extension yielding an estimated 665,000 tonnes. The quarry has a permitted output of up to 20,000 tonnes per annum split as 6,000 tonnes per annum of Doulting Stone and 14,000 tonnes per annum of aggregate that is able to be crushed under the new planning permission. The quarry consists of two distinct extraction areas with the southern part comprising the current working faces, the main cutting sheds, processing and stockpiling area and ancillary offices. The northern part of the quarry comprises an area of higher quality stone reserved for special projects and this includes the recently approved extension area and BNG/mitigation scheme. The remaining part of the Property includes a large steel frame workshop with offices and agricultural land to the south of the quarry with good frontage onto the A361 which provides potential for a new access as well as alternative commercial or industrial uses subject to planning. The Vendor owns adjoining agricultural land and woodland adjacent to the eastern boundaries which may be available for purchase by way of separate negotiation. Existing stock will be included in the sale, but any plant, machinery, fixtures and fittings not specifically mentioned are excluded from the sale price but may be available to purchase by way of separate negotiation. The Property is offered for sale due to the impending retirement of the current proprietor and ongoing projects remain unaffected by the sale and new contracts have recently been secured to supply Doulting Stone to projects nationwide. The Property and quarry operations offer a unique opportunity for the purchaser to further strengthen the profile for Doulting Stone into the future and expand operations in line with the new planning permission and additional stone reserves.
