Description

This property represents a compelling investment opportunity in the equestrian sector, currently operating as a successful riding school. Located near Crook, County Durham, it features a three-bedroom main bungalow and an adjacent timber frame chalet-style dwelling, ideal for potential rental income or staff accommodation. The facility includes two substantial steel portal frame structures housing 18 stables and an indoor riding arena, alongside outdoor arenas and extensive paddocks covering over 12 acres. The main bungalow, constructed in 2007, offers a spacious layout with ample living areas and the possibility to enhance its current condition. The chalet could easily be converted back into a full-time residence if desired. The existing equestrian facilities are well-maintained but could benefit from modernization to increase capacity or improve operational efficiency. Additionally, with multiple outbuildings and ample land for grazing or further development, there is significant renovation potential here for those looking to expand their equestrian business or convert the property for alternative uses. Its rural location offers peace and accessibility to amenities in nearby towns like Bishop Auckland and Durham. This property stands out not just as a home but as an investment with multiple avenues for growth.
