Description
A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial freehold racing and equestrian estate extending to approximately 50 acres, comprising extensive commercial equestrian facilities, two detached residential dwellings and significant development potential.
Formerly operated as a professional racing establishment, the property provides a fully equipped training complex with capacity for up to 48 horses, alongside a comprehensive range of residential, commercial and leisure facilities. Of particular interest to developers and investors, the property benefits from planning permission for the construction of four detached executive family homes, each extending to approximately 3,500 sq.ft., together with consent to convert the principal facilities building into an impressive Grand Designs-style residence extending to approximately 8,500 sq.ft.
The existing estate includes a substantial five-bedroom owner's residence, a separate three-bedroom trainer's house, and a purpose-built facilities building extending to approximately 6,843 sq.ft., currently providing offices, owners' facilities, gymnasium, sauna, steam room and ancillary accommodation.
Equestrian facilities include three American-style stable barns providing 48 Monarch loose boxes, a covered horse walker, a floodlit outdoor arena, all-weather Polytrack gallop, grass gallop, wash bays, turnout paddocks and field shelters.
Occupying an attractive rural yet accessible location, the property offers an increasingly rare combination of an established equestrian business, substantial residential accommodation and significant development potential, creating a compelling proposition for developers, investors, housebuilders and equestrian operators alike.

* The Guide Price given is an indication as to where the Reserve is currently set. The Reserve is the minimum price that the auctioneer is authorised by the vendor to sell the property for. It is subject to change throughout the marketing period. Where the Guide Price is a single figure, the current Reserve will not be more than 10% above that single figure, and where a price range is given (i.e. £50,000 - £55,000), the Reserve will not exceed the upper level of the range. It is not necessarily what the auctioneer expects it will sell for.
We would like to point out that all measurements, floor plans and photographs are for guidance purposes only (photographs may be taken with a wide angled/zoom lens), and dimensions, shapes and precise locations may differ to those set out in these sales particulars which are approximate and intended for guidance purposes only.

Viewings are conducted entirely at the potential buyers own risk, these properties are not owned or controlled by Town & Country Property Auctions and the auctioneers will not be held liable for loss or injury caused while viewing or accessing the lot. Due to the nature of some auction properties, electricity may not be turned on, therefore viewing times are restricted.
