Description

Externally the property boasts generous grazing paddocks, a fenced and floodlit sand menage, electric horse walker and ample stone yard space. The property has capacity currently to stable up to nine horses with generous and well-fitted loose boxes making it a ready-made facility for those seeking a manageable equestrian property in a second to none location.
