A set of fishing lakes overlooking an iconic North East landmark have been placed on the market for nearly £2m.

The Angel of the North Fishing Lakes and Livery is currently listed on Rightmove for £1,950,000, and is being sold by H&H Land & Estates.

The property which includes a fishing business, retail unit, staff accommodation, and a livery business, is being sold as a whole.

Extending approximately 51.07 acres in total, the lakes are conveniently located just off the A1 and A1231, two miles from Birtley and three miles from Washington and overlooks the Angel of The North.

The bungalow, known as Bassetts Lookout, is a three-bedroom property overlooking the smallest of the fishing lakes.

The house is conveniently located adjacent to all of the business facilities, but its position on the site gives it a level of privacy.

It also includes two main stable blocks, a barn fitted out with further stables to make a total of 38 stables, and an all-weather, rubber and sand surfaced arena.

The land surrounding the stable blocks consists of 33.93 acres of grassland.

Started in 2004, the business is well stocked with the three lakes, approximately six acres of water in all, containing around £225,000 worth of Silver and Carp varieties.

Angel of the North Fishing Lakes and Livery's business is mainly run on a DIY basis, with clients paying for basic stable rental which includes the use of water and electricity.

The sellers wish to include all of the property, stock, fixtures and fittings, and most of the furniture currently in the bungalow and staff accommodation in the sale.

The business employs one full-time manager and one casual staff member who resides in the flat above the retail unit.

Accounts from the year ending April 2022 and April 2023 are available to view.

The site is served by mains electricity and water, with drainage to a septic tank located to the rear of the bungalow.
