Description

The Thornton Stud provides a purchaser with an opportunity to acquire a ring fenced equestrian unit extending to approximately 114 acres or more if a further 63 acres (separately available) is purchased with the benefit of separate access from Newsham Road to the west enhanced by the impressive and Listed West Gate.

The Stud comes with so much history and provenance and the sale offers an opportunity for a purchaser to build on that reputation and take the Stud forward once again. Alternatively the property could be a beautiful and manageable small private Estate generating income from the cottages and land or for an alternative equestrian business based such as an eventing or livery yard.

South Range

Land The land lies within a ring fence and is level productive grassland with well fenced and railed paddocks around the stud buildings. The site is enhanced by the approach along the treelined driveway and mature woodland setting. There is approximately 87 acres of grass with the potential to acquire a further 63 acres by separate negotiation if more land is required.

Also included:

Lime and Avenue Cottages
Situated to the west of Home Farm, a pair of semi detached two storey cottages containing almost identical accommodation which could subject to obtaining planning convert in to a substantial single dwelling if required. The accommodation in total extends to 2,286 sqft with each having three first floor bedrooms. There are lawned gardens to the front and rear.

West Lodge
A brick and slate built grade II* Listed detached former dwelling inside the West Gate. The property has been unoccupied for a number of years and is currently classed as redundant. The property offers the potential to be restored and made into an attractive residential property set behind the most impressive entrance gate.

The West Gate itself is separately Grade II*listed and is a particularly impressive feature of the property and can still be used as an entrance if required but has sensibly been further protected through the creation of a new separate driveway to serve the property.
