Willowsway Equestrian Centre is a fully equipped 15-acre equestrian estate between the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, offering operational facilities for commercial livery, training or redevelopment. The principal steel-framed barn provides 27 loose boxes, wash bays, a water therapy pit and office/kitchen facilities; a second barn adds seven further boxes, lab space and offices. A competition-standard 60m x 20m sand-and-fibre outdoor arena and a horse-walker complete the core operational setup, with mains water to paddocks and secure yard space for lorries and parking.
Extant planning consent (with commencement works approved) exists for an indoor arena with viewing gallery and amenities, safeguarding that development route. A one-bedroom staff cottage sits in the yard and is let at £600 pcm; it is subject to an occupancy condition restricting use to staff or guests connected with the business. A circa 4,000 sq ft traditional two-storey barn offers clear development potential but would require planning and refurbishment for residential or alternative uses.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important for buyers: the estate is freehold, has mains water and split-phase electricity, but much of the yard heating and main plant run on oil. No employees transfer with the sale; equine stocks are excluded. The property suits equine professionals, commercial operators or investors seeking a turnkey yard with expansion potential, or a buyer wanting a rural smallholding with substantial operational infrastructure.
