The Property

Set within the beautiful Tamar Valley, this exceptional equestrian centre offers a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established mixed-use property, combining a successful riding school, holiday cottage business, multiple residential dwellings, and extensive equestrian facilities across approximately 27 acres of picturesque riverside countryside. At the heart of the property is The Leppars, a spacious 3/4 bedroom farmhouse enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding land, arenas, and stables. Full of character and charm, the principal residence provides comfortable family accommodation with a farmhouse kitchen and breakfast room, conservatory, generous reception spaces, and a principal bedroom with en suite and Juliette balcony.

Further grooms’ accommodation adds to the versatility of the site.
