EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES

It is evident that much thought has gone into the creation of the equestrian facilities at Barnam which are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also practical.

First and foremost, the yard benefits from a separate entrance allowing for easy access for horse boxes and other vehicles. There is an extensive hard standing area for parking and storing wrapped haylage if required.

Moreover, there is also a large detached barn offering space for the storage of hay, bedding and even housing your lorry under cover. Within this barn are two internal 12' x 12' loose boxes and a tack room which benefits from a mezzanine storage area above. Additionally, at one end of the barn is a tractor store lean-to.

The main yard comprises of 5 12' x 12' timber loose boxes, a 14' x 14' corner foaling box, tack and feed rooms, yard WC and a day room with windows overlooking the 40m x 20m floodlit ménage with its sand and fibre surface. In addition, there is a useful 45' diameter round pen, fenced with post and rail fencing with a sand and fibre surface.

There is also a hard track that leads out to approximately 14 acres of immaculately well fenced gently sloping paddocks, each with mains connected water troughs. The yard has been beautifully maintained and offers superb facilities that any horse owner would be proud of.

The location the property sits in is fabulous, being only a 15-minute hack up to the moor, but also easily accessible in the lorry to the A38 for any competition rider.
