Description
The property comprises an equestrian centre which includes an indoor arena, stables, a farmhouse, a cottage, byre and a further building providing additional stabling all set in some 14 acres which is mainly divided to provide three paddocks, an outdoor arena and an extensive surfaced area for parking.
The FARMHOUSE is of traditional painted stone construction with a pitched slate roof. The accommodation, which requires renovation, particularly to the kitchen area, extends to TWO RECEPTION ROOMS, FIVE BEDROOMS (over 2 floors), KITCHEN, UTILITY ROOM and BATHROOM. The farmhouse forms the base of a Ushaped building with, on one side the byre - 113 sq.m (1,226 sq.ft) which is currently used a tack room and for storage whilst the other side comprises additional storage and part of the cottage. The block as a whole may offer potential for development subject to obtaining all necessary consents.
The COTTAGE extends to HALL, LOUNGE/DINING ROOM, TWO BEDROOMS, KITCHEN, UTLITY AREA and BATHROOM and is the subject of a Section 50 Restriction limiting its occupation to a person employed full time in connection with the agricultural unit and equestrian centre/riding school.
Adjacent to byre are purpose built stables with 24 boxes incorporating concrete floors and with a central yard. The stables area has direct access from the car park.
The indoor arena extends to circa 5,376 sq.m (57, 850 sq.ft) and is a steel frame building divided into a main arena, side arena and collecting ring. The building includes a café/bar/food serving area, toilets, showers, office/storage whilst in the main block there is a timber grandstand, judges box, first aid room and further office/storage space. The building may only be used for equestrian purposes. Adjacent to the arena is a further steel portal frame shed - 96 sq.m (1,030 sq.ft) which has been divided to create a further 6 horse boxes.
The facilities require some investment in the form of repairs and renovation but present a near unique opportunity to acquire a well located, equipped equestrian centre set within its own grounds.
