The Property
Mount Pleasant presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a versatile agricultural and equestrian smallholding extending to approximately 36.20 acres (14.65 hectares) in a desirable and accessible Northumberland location.

The property comprises a well-equipped rural holding with an extensive range of modern agricultural and equestrian buildings, productive grazing land, a floodlit ménage and a residential static caravan pitch benefiting from a Certificate of Lawful Existing Use for permanent residential occupation.

Occupying a prominent roadside position adjacent to the A697, the property offers excellent accessibility whilst retaining the benefits of a rural setting. The holding is suitable for a range of agricultural, equestrian and lifestyle purchasers and offers significant future potential, subject to the necessary consents

Land and Buildings
The property extends to approximately 36.20 acres (14.65 hectares), including around 33.83 acres (13.70 hectares) of productive grazing pasture contained within a ring-fenced holding. The land is divided into a number of well-maintained paddocks suitable for livestock and equestrian use, with the majority benefiting from independent water supplies. Boundaries comprise a mixture of post-and-rail, post-and-wire and electric fencing.

Complementing the land is an extensive range of agricultural and equestrian buildings providing excellent operational flexibility. Together with the established equestrian facilities, including a floodlit ménage extending to approximately 917 sq m and a former lunging pen area, the property is well suited to a variety of agricultural, equestrian and rural business enterprises.
The existing buildings may also offer scope for conversion to residential accommodation or alternative diversified uses, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

The site also previously benefitted from planning permission for a rural worker's dwelling and garage under references A/2009/0510 and 15/02989/REM, although this consent is considered to have lapsed.
