With plenty of parking for a lorry, stables, storage barns, an all-weather menage, and fenced paddocks along with an all-weather turn-out, it is the perfect setup.

Whilst the facilities were constructed by the current sellers for equestrian purposes, the barns would also lend themselves to storing classic cars, or equipment, offering the potential for several alternative uses such as annex accommodation.
