What equestrian dreams would you live out here?

Ravensroost Stables is very privately situated from the road with double gates opening to the gravel track.

There are level paddocks which are currently divided into three, all of which are securely fenced with high hedging and post and rail, with water connected. The property offers four acres with two acres available by separate negotiation.

There are five stables which are set around a concrete yard. One of the boxes is a large foaling box.

There is a 20x40m outdoor school situated to the left of the track with rubber/sand surface and white plastic fencing.

The area also lends itself to lovely hacking with lots of bridlepaths and quiet roads within easy reach.

There is also a small building which can be used as an office space or a tea room.
