Business description

The Quarry is an operational quarry that produces dimension stone for use primarily within the building industry, but with an alternate ornamental use when polished. The stone is a fossiliferous limestone peculiar to the location, of particular interest because of its era of deposition, being in the late Jurassic or early Cretaceous period.

This type of dimension stone is widely purchased by the building industry and is recognised as one of England's foremost building stones and its very nature as a sedimentary limestone is very well suited to construction use.

The business derives its income predominantly from commercial sales, including repeat trade and corporate purchase for the building industry, and as a consequence of quarrying activity and in accordance with current legislation, the quarry is properly and satisfactorily registered with the proper authorities.

The business also includes the manufacture and sale of a unique product and this side of the business has a great potential for expansion.

The Quarry is a substantial operator in the region and extensive detailed background and product availability is provided via a dedicated website.

The valuation is based upon existing and future workings up to the approximate 14.16 hectares (35.00 acres).
