Kirby Bellars Nurseries offers the opportunity to take on and expand the existing nursery business along with the development of an on-site dwelling and areas to showcase produce.

There may be scope for associated alternative uses like hospitality and events to be run alongside the nursery in this serene setting. The premises has been the trading site for St Johns Nurseries (Kirby Bellars) Ltd, a respected horticultural business for almost 40 years.
