The equestrian elements of this impressive almost 6 acre (5.85) (STMS) property comprises of:

Fields and Land

The property’s fields are split into a large rear hay field of approx 2.5 acres, grazed on from post hay cutting in mid summer to Christmas, and 2 front fields, 1 larger and 1 smaller, together approximately 2.5 acres. These front fields are currently connected and used as one in the spring and summer. All fields have electric fencing and hedgerow protection on the perimeters.

The entire equestrian aspect originally had dykes around all sides, providing superb drainage all round. The previous owner filled the arena side dyke which is now used as part of the winter grazing/ hard standing space of approximately 1 acre, made-up of the concrete yard, the gravel driveway, arena and stables which can all connect to make a varied roaming space with shelter in the winter months, invaluable for horses and carers to make winter a very easy time on this property.

Barns and Stables

The buildings form a three sided sheltered yard of 2 large barns measuring 11'10" x 38'9"
with concreted center with drainage, 1 barn housing the mains water and electric supply with various external outlets,
and
4 stables, 2 are extra large stables measuring 14'6" x 14'7"
and 2 are regular stables measuring 11'5" x 11'1" 1 stable has doors on both sides making it a field shelter or walkway for optional field and yard access.

All stables and 1 barn have night-time motion sensors providing gentle red light for horses to better see their environment which switch off for sleeping and laying down.
A fifth stable is easily established in the barn with night light sensors.

Arena

An olympic sized 60 m x 20m space with cockle shell surfacing used by current owners as an arena and all year turn out area.

Hacking and Riding

The property is in the heart of excellent hacking routes with many extended circuits that can easily take 2 or many more hours to complete, with a surplus of canter opportunities. Road work can be light or extensive to suit, all along single or double track roads that are considered very light to light traffic volumes with a variety of vehicle type and many pull over points for horses to get off the road altogether. Local indoor arena for hire a 5 minute ride away is available at £15 per hour at Chestnut Farm.

Current owner experience with keeping horses in many southern and central English counties comments the outstanding ability for dyke drained routes to be superb ground for hacking in winter months and the traffic to be the politest and most considerate of all.
