The stabling facilities include a tack room and a total of 11 stables, each with automatic water troughs.
There is an outdoor floodlit arena (60x30m), with an Andrew Bowens wax surface with drainage systems, ideal for use all year round. There is also a magnetic gate system and large viewing mound for spectators.
There are six post and rail paddocks, each with automatic water troughs, double gates, and multiple access paths. As well as these individual paddocks, there is a large four-acre post and wire paddock used for herd grazing, as well as 30 purpose-built, fully flagged and numbered cross-country fences, including ditches and banks. This large field has access through double gates via court road, ideal for horseboxes and larger vehicles. Closer to the manége, this field also has a section which is used to lay a 20x40m dressage arena.
In addition to this field, is another 3.5 acres of land, which is currently rented from a nearby neighbour. Our client has confirmed this rental arrangement can continue for the future owner of Busy Bee Farm. All seven paddocks are safely secured by gates around the perimeter, as well as being visible from the house.
