Outside
Yard:
The extensive training yard forms part of the ring fence of some 10 acres of land incorporating the house, hostel, office and numerous vehicle access points making movement and security superb. It is fully gated with security lighting and camera facilities throughout. All of the 64 boxes are of a good size and all incorporate mangers and automatic-feed water systems. There are numerous external water points dotted throughout and it is well drained. There is one large tack-room with secure racing livery storage and further hay and storage facilities interspersed throughout. Additionally, there are 2 larger barns, one currently incorporates weighing and spa facilities the other has more boxes.
One of the more unique features is the substantial barn incorporating a furlong gallop, lunge ring, 5-bay horse walker and storage. This is an open sided barn which could easily be re-worked to include indoor arena or riding school for dressage or other needs. The stable yard is also equipped with its own bulk diesel tank and pump. Again unique for many of the training yards in this area is the ability to directly access the Lambourn gallops in perpetuity. This legal right to walk horses to the gallops across the neighbouring fields allows the owners to ride out from the training yard to the gallops themselves for training purposes, usual fees apply for the gallops.

Additional Information
Additional note:
There is a historic lapsed planning application approval for an additional dwelling to be positioned on the edge of the land. We believe, that subject to delicate planning, that this could again facilitate an independent dwelling with separate access for either further trainers or owners. Please contact the agent for further information.
