Equestrian facility

AGENT'S NOTE

Several of the buildings are in a suitable state for immediate use; however, some refurbishment is needed to all buildings and some buildings would benefit from a complete overhaul. It is our understanding that the buildings have planning for equestrian purposes and have been used as such for well over 10 years. The land has been divided into small turnout paddocks to control grazing on the land. There has also been a track system installed which gives good access to the land even in wetter conditions. The horse walker is operational. It represents an ideal opportunity for a trainer or for someone wishing to create a large, lucrative livery business.
