A modern Shropshire equestrian centre together with 66 acres of land are to be sold in three lots at a public auction next week.

Shrewsbury auctioneers Halls are selling Lostford Stables at Lostford, Tern Hill, on behalf of Mr and Mrs R. Hughes at Tern Hill Hall Hotel, Tern Hill on Tuesday, March 18 at 6pm. Halls have issued a guide price approaching £500,000.

A well recognised equestrian centre in a quiet location, Lostford Stables has been built to a high standard and has excellent road links to the West Midlands and the Potteries.
