Historic Derbyshire estate and offices let in 10-year deal
A recently-renovated stable block transformed into modern offices in the village of Stenson, Derbyshire has new tenants.
The building has been leased by owners The Harpur Crewe to Spirit & Soul Equine Assisted Activity Centre, following a deal brokered by property agents Mather Jamie.
Spirit & Soul has taken on a 10-year lease for Canal Side Farm Office as well as the neighbouring stables and land, all of which form part of the historic Harpur Crewe Estate.
Formerly based in Kirk Langley, Spirit & Soul specialises in providing equine-assisted therapeutic services for individuals, businesses, families and local groups with complex needs who are overcoming difficulties such as trauma, cancer, stress and anxiety. The aim is to improve clients’ mental health and overall wellbeing, as well as to encourage personal development and team-building.
Sarah Stephens, managing director and lead facilitator at Spirit & Soul, said: “Between viewing the premises early this year and taking the lease on 1st March, Amy and the team at Mather Jamie have been absolutely fantastic and have bent over backwards to help us with everything, including securing the lease very quickly. We’re delighted with our new location and business has been very busy since moving here. The land has lots of potential for expansion, which is ideal as we hope to grow in the coming years.”
Amy Biddell, associate director at Mather Jamie, said: “The Estate owners were keen to diversify their mainly residential property portfolio and the conversion of the former stable building at Canal Side Farm into a modern office space has enabled us to achieve this.
“The lease of the office and adjacent land and buildings has successfully combined the different aspects of the site, creating a modern, commercial and appealing centre for Spirit & Soul to operate their equine-assisted therapeutic services, which are sure to continue benefitting a range of people.”
