A former Thoroughbred stud — which has been pitted as one of the leading centres for sports horses in the south of England — is looking for a buyer to come and enjoy all its 121.7 acres has to offer.
Located 4.5 miles from junction 6 of the M40, Attington Stud is in the lee of the Chiltern Hills and is well placed for reaching both London and Oxford. Just outside Tetsworth, Attington’s nearest town is Thame. It is a quick drive to Oxford via the A40.
Equestrian centres within easy reach include: Checkendon EC (15 miles), Tudor Farm EC (10 miles), Widmer EC (12 miles) and Valley Farm EC (39 miles).
Sign up to the Thames Valley Riding Club who host a range of annual activities around the Maidenhead area.
Not that you will really need it, but there is additional cross-country schooling available at Lyneham Heath Equestrian, which is an hour’s drive away.
Hambleden show ground, known for hosting spring horse trails and several riding club and pony club events is a 30min drive from the doorstep (14.5 miles).
Sign up to BSPS Area 7 for your pick of local showing fixtures.
