An equestrian and lifestyle property in the heart of Hadrian's Wall country has gone onto the market for a shade under £600,000.
Cragside Stables, which currently operates as a riding school, overlooks the Tyne Valley from Bardon Mill and is set in approximately 28 acres of grassland and woodland. It also has accommodation, outbuildings and a range of equestrian facilities approximately one mile from Vindolanda Roman Fort.
The equestrian facilities include eleven stables, an all-weather riding arena and a range of outbuildings, stores and a large warehouse. A Scandinavian hardwood lodge makes up the residential accommodation and has views across the Tyne Valley from an elevated position.

In recent years, a successful online retail business has been run from the largest building on the site, and estate agents say that the property provides a real opportunity as both an equestrian business and it has the potential to benefit from the thousands of visitors to the area each year. They also say that the property demonstrates "immense opportunity" for retail, leisure and tourism uses, subject to any necessary consents.
Helen Forbes, a senior sales advisor at the Durham office of H&H Land & Estates, said: "This is a sizeable equestrian property, ideal for those looking for a ‘ready to walk in’ business opportunity or a change of lifestyle, with the additional scope for a variety of business uses. Such versatile and well-placed properties are few and far between and in great demand.
"This property is perfect for those who are looking for the ‘good life’ and want space for horses or other animals. Although the equestrian facilities are extensive, there are many ways in which Cragside Stables could be developed and as such we are expecting a high level of interest in the property."
Cragside Stables is being sold through H&H Land Estates with offers of more than £595,000 invited. For more information, visit the listing on the H&H website, email durham@hhlandestates.co.uk or call the Estates office on 0191 370 8530.
