16 Acre Burial Ground for Sale in Sheffield

Silk Letting Ltd would like to proudly present to the market an extremely rare investment opportunity with a burial ground in Sheffield. This is long standing investment that can be passed down to many generations and give a family a business to be proud of. With 16 acres or tranquil fields protected by country stone walls this gives the perfect look for a respectful burial ground with years of character and charm.

The business currently already has pre-paid plots for both full burials and cremation plots with 60 already deposited and a completed 75 burials and cremation plots, taking up a small ¼ of an acre. This shows the astonishing amount of plots that can be purchased over the full 16 acres giving a massive profit over the years

Alongside the profit you could create with clients purchasing plots, but you can also gain profit from a compulsory York Stone Plaque for cremation plots that makes an extra £200 each plot. You will find some customers like to show their respects in different ways which is why the business offers Trees of Remembrance that come with a compulsory York Stone Tree Plaque at £150 per tree or a stunning bench for family and friends to sit and remember their loved one coming in at the price of £1,500. These are all extra incomes on top of the eyewatering profit of the plots alone.

This would be a huge unmissable investment for a new owner who is looking to find an income that will never decrease and always be in demand.

Location and Amenities

Embezzled in the countryside you are surrounded by stunning views and amazing uninterrupted landscape that offers the calming and peaceful location for people to pay their respects and lay their loved ones to rest. Overlooking the Peak District this burial ground covers a wide area for people who would use the services of the business, and with 16 acres it would be the place for their loved ones for years to come.

Growth Potential

The business currently has a website, but a new owner could create their own with the image they would want to give their business and make sure they advertise in the correct ways with local funeral homes. This can be done with advertisement leaflets and agreements with funeral homes to direct clients to the grounds.

Financial Profile

Turnover available on request.

This is a freehold sale meaning you will be purchasing the land and business.

Property

The land is protected by the Green Belt which means no properties can be built on the land with the exception of a tasteful memorial or a prayer room. This gives the new owner potential to increase the value and use of the grounds whilst keeping within the business needs and green belt rules. There is also planning permission for a chapel on grounds.

On a positive, the views are protected by the green belt meaning its settings will always stay the same for years to come.

There is a car park on the grounds for the public to use when a service is being held and a public gate to the front of the grounds for public to enter and visit their loved ones. This access gives right to public roaming.

Security Features

The land is protected by having a locked gated car park that is only opened when a service is taking place whilst also having decoy CCTV cameras around the land. These decoys are to make people believe it monitored, yet a new owner is more than welcome to install real CCTV if they feel the need to watch over the grounds.

Staff

The new owner will not have to worry about having help when taking over the business as there is a self-employed grave digger that the current owner uses to help with general land maintenance and the creation of plots when required.

The current owner has also offered a very honourable service to the new owner, as they will stay and help for up to 12 months to make sure a new owner can understand the structure of how the business runs. This generosity gives potential to save you the uncertainty and will help build a strong knowledge of your growing opportunity.

Reason for the business sale

The reason for this business being for sale is due to the current owner retiring after many dedicated years.
