BEST AND FINAL OFFERS BY NOON ON FRIDAY 21ST AUGUST 2026

A picturesque equestrian smallholding with permission for use as a riding school, with land extending in all to some 8.61 acres, situated in a superb location in between the villages of Ticehurst and Wadhurst in East Sussex.

DESCRIPTION

The Yard is situated in a semi-rural location in between the villages of Ticehurst and Wadhurst in East Sussex. The property offers a rare opportunity to purchase a well-equipped equestrian smallholding with permission for use as a riding school, with land extending in all to some 8.61 acres.

A secure gated access from the High Street (B2099) leads to a contained hardcore parking area. A further secure gated entrance leads along the driveway, which is lined with paddocks either side, to the yard, which is located at the rear of the site, away from the road. Situated around the yard are a significant range of timber frame stable blocks on a concrete base with concrete apron, providing 13 loose boxes, a tack room, together with a small pole barn to the rear for hay storage.

A 40m x 20m manège is also located adjacent to the stables, alongside a 20ft steel container and a toilet block, which will remain in situ.

Situated around the yard are six broadly level and well drained grazing paddocks, each with individual water troughs and sub-divided by stock proof fencing. To the rear of the yard is a small isolation paddock. Of the 8.61 acres, approximately 2.5 acres comprises woodland situated on the southern and western boundaries of the land.

Planning permission was granted under reference RR/2014/3109/P for the “Change of use of existing equestrian premises to a riding school”. This permission allows for five, one-hour, one-to-one lessons per day, 5 days per week.
