Callington nursery sold to former teacher
Specialist property adviser, Christie & Co is pleased to announce the sale of Coombe Valley Nursery (Launceston) Ltd in Callington, Cornwall.
Mr & Mrs Ranson had operated the business since its opening in 2010 and are now looking towards retirement. The 33-place purpose-built nursery occupies a convenient and accessible position on the outskirts of Callington and is currently run under management.
