The equestrian buildings include an international sized Indoor Arena, grass jumping arena, canter track and paddocks, all set within approximately 13.77 acres on the western edge of the village.

Location and Situation

Access to the main communication networks is good with the A1 motorway less than 4 miles to the west and the main east coast railway line at York served by a branch line station in the village itself.

Home Farm
A private driveway leads to a gravelled parking and turning area in front of the house which lies in an elevated position set back from the road. The two storey house which is believed to have been built in 1887 in mock Tudor style has brick elevations at ground floor level and exposed timbers and white painted render to the first floor under a pantile roof. The accommodation which includes four bedrooms is shown on the floor plan and extends to approximately 2,800 sq ft (260 m²) with well proportioned rooms in addition to which there is further accommodation in the detached Garden Room. Ground floor - An oak front door leads to the staircase Hall featuring oak panelling and bannisters. The Hall leads to a Study with wood burning stove and the large Lounge also with a wood burning stove set within an attractive stone surround. The large Dining Kitchen has a bay window with doors leading to the garden. There is a central island and granite worktops. Fittings includes the Siemens split level oven and Hotpoint four ring electric hob, dishwasher and large fridge-freezer. A walk in pantry is a useful addition.

Indoor Arena
A particular feature of the property is the international sized Indoor Arena built in 2015/16 adjacent to the southern boundary of the property and accessed via a landscape track from the stable yard. The Arena is an 11 bay building measuring approximately 65 metres x 33 metres with a pitched, curved, linsulated sandwich panel, laminated timber roof and coloured profile sheet cladding with central glazed ridge. There are two sets of full height doors. Incorporated within the building are both ground floor and first floor viewing galleries fitted out to a high standard. The 60 metre long Arena has an Andrew Bowen 2012 surface and Equa-Flow system which harvests water from the Arena roof and irrigates the surface. There are curved kick boards to the perimeter, built in sound system and mirrors. There are jump storage areas at the southern end.

Paddocks
There are 12 main paddocks along the western boundary of the property between the stabling and arena. Each paddock has well maintained fencing with water connected and a central walkway between the paddocks. There are five additional paddocks adjacent to the eastern boundary with a further two in front of the East Barn and Home Farm houses respectively.

Canter Track and Jumping Arena
Situated between the stable yard and arena is a 3 metre wide exercise track with aggregate base and sand surface around the perimeter of an open grass showjumping field.

Pond
A wildlife pond west of the arena provides ecological habitat and functions as a balancing pond collecting water from the jumping field and paddocks and arena roof which is then used to irrigate the arena surface.
