Summary
Wavering Brook is a recognised and long established stud farm that benefits from an impressive range of stud and equestrian facilities. The current owners have continued to invest in and enhance the property since acquisition, with improvements including the creation of a bespoke tack room, the addition of both indoor and outdoor riding arenas, upgrades to the yard facilities, and most recently, the rejuvenation of the indoor arena surface.

Stud Cottage
Stud Cottage is a detached modern built dwelling providing comfortable and well-arranged accommodation over two floors. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two reception rooms and a large modern kitchen, providing flexible accommodation suitable for private residential use or staff accommodation.

The house benefits from a patio to the west, overlooking the surrounding grounds and providing an attractive outside seating area.

The Stud Buildings and Facilities
The stud buildings are arranged across a number of separate yard areas, providing a substantial level of stabling and supporting equestrian infrastructure. The layout offers flexibility for breeding, youngstock, training, isolation and general equestrian use.

Main Yard
The main yard is situated close to the entrance and includes three sections of brick render stables providing 13 double aspect boxes, together with a stud office incorporating a WC and shower. This office area may offer potential for alternative use or additional accommodation, subject to obtaining any necessary planning permission.

This area also includes a wash down area, bespoke tack room, feed room and rug room, providing a practical and well equipped working yard. An adjoining barn provides four foaling boxes and hay store in addition to the main yard area.
The main yard area includes a Claydon five horse walker and fully stud boarded lunge pen.

Outdoor Arena
To the south of the main yard is an outdoor arena measuring approximately 60m x 30m, with a Leisure Ride surface and training mirrors. This provides a valuable all weather exercise and training facility, complementing the indoor arena and the wider stud infrastructure.

Foaling and Weaning Yard
The Foaling and Weaning yard, formed from converted agricultural barns, provides eight standard stable boxes, two foaling boxes and one 12 ft x 12 ft stable box. There is also a steel framed hay barn, currently being used to wean foals. All the stables have water and CCTV.

Lower Yard
The Lower Yard is situated away from the main yard and benefits from separate access directly from the main road. The yard comprises 17 stables, together with a tack room, feed room and associated supporting facilities, as well as three fully stud boarded outdoor turnout pens extending to approximately 25m x 30m each. The Lower Yard offers the potential for a separate equestrian enterprise, breeding operation or isolation yard.

Indoor Arena
The lower yard also contains the indoor riding arena, measuring approximately 20m x 40m. The arena has a Martin Collins surface, which has been rejuvenated within the last year. Planning is understood to be in place to extend the indoor arena by a further 20m in length, offering the potential to create a significantly enhanced covered riding and training facility.

The Land
The land is arranged in a number of attractive and well managed paddocks, many of which are enclosed by post and rail fencing. The land is split into two principal parcels, with the main area lying around the buildings to the west of the lane, and a further area of paddocks situated to the east.
The land forms an attractive landscape of mature trees, hedgerows, stone walls and post and rail boundaries. The land comprises of free draining soil over limestone, which is well suited to equestrian use.

A particularly attractive feature is the lime tree avenue situated towards the centre of the holding, which provides a striking visual focal point and adds to the character and maturity of the property.

In all, the property extends to approximately 85.94 acres.
