Lying between Penrith and Carlisle, in the picturesque Cumbrian countryside, is an imposing property complete with equestrian facilities, which could make someone the perfect private or business yard.
Calthwaite Hall is nestled just outside the Lake District National Park, making it the ideal location for its park of holiday lodges, which has been developed over the past few years.
Equestrian centres in the area include: Newton Rigg College (8.4 miles), Greenlands (6.2 miles) and Inglewood (5.2 miles).
Just over an hour away is Myerscough College which has two indoor arenas and hosts a range of showing, dressage and British Showjumping fixtures throughout the season.
If you like to take in the action at the racecourse, head over to Carlisle Racecourse (9 miles) or Cartmel Racecourse (55 miles).
When the hunting season restarts, head out with the Vale of Lune pack.
Local riding clubs include Cumbria Riding Club or Lakes Riding Club, while your local showing area would be BSPS Area 1A or 1B.
