New plans have been set in motion to create a new community business and leisure hub in Northumberland.
Allendale Estates is aiming to create a thriving hub for businesses at Stocksfield Hall Business Park and has appointed commercial property consultancy Naylors Gavin Black to market the new development. The landlord hopes the new scheme will attract a range of occupiers and amenities including health and beauty, fitness and wellbeing, hospitality, arts and creative studio uses, as well as independent retailers and some light industrial tenants.
The plan is to mirror the success of South Acomb Business Park which has a range of office occupiers, as well as coffee shop Coffee Barn, and a retail offer including furniture and interiors shop, Jasmine & Lilah. The available units are based in converted agricultural buildings, ranging in size from 2,000 sqft to 14,864 sq ft. Allendale Estates says that whilst they could become offices, other uses are encouraged.

Naylors Gavin Black partner, Chris Pearson, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a new, lively business hub in Stocksfield, for residents and visitors. A similar development at Vallum Farm is now a buzzing visitor attraction and features a Michelin starred restaurant.”
Colin Davidson CEO at Allendale Estates, said: “The self-contained units are perfect for SMEs looking for a scenic, rural base. Allendale Estates is a diverse landed estate business with interests in farming, forestry, residential and commercial property and renewables. Conservation is at the heart of what we do, and we look to promote this further in the coming years.
“The new development opportunity will complement our office facilities at Bearl Farm and South Acomb business parks which are just a short drive away.”
