Rosewood Stud is on the market with Savills with a guide price of £4.25m. Let’s take a look around…
The equestrian facilities includes 27 stables, including foaling boxes and an isolation yard. The facilities have been built to a high standard to include an Olympic-sized indoor arena and an outdoor arena.
One American barn is accessed via double sliding doors at both ends, and is insulated so it remains cool in the summer months and provides protection from the chill in the winter. Inside are six boxes, a vet area and a wash bay.
The central stables incorporate five boxes. There is a clock tower on top of the building, creating a focal point for the yard.

The second American barn is of similar construction to the first, with nine boxes, a feed area and space for hay storage.
The indoor arena has an in-built viewing gallery and is fully lit with a Martin Collins Polytrack surface and access doors at either end.

The outdoor arena is floodlit with a tarmac membrane with Robert Brazil Softrack rubber surface.
There is also a five-bay covered Claydon horsewalker, a lunge pen, and a seven-box isolation yard.
The land is post and rail fenced and most of the paddocks have a mains water supply. The sandy soil is classified as Grade 3 and is suitable for all year turn-out and grazing. The property is completely free from any form of public access.
Rosewood Stud House is the main residence and is an imposing family home of almost 6,000 sq. ft. with adjoining staff accommodation. It has three large reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, five bedrooms and three bathrooms.

In addition, there are a further five dwellings within the estate including the 6,800 sqft manager’s house, the groom’s cottage, the former tack room and a pair of detached bungalows.
In recent years, Rosewood Stud has been managed as a cherished family estate where the occupiers have sought to diversity the property into a livery, wedding venue and holiday lodges. It is understood that not all historic uses obtained the necessary planning consents. Rosewood could continue in its recent use, subject to those consents being granted, or revert to its historic use of breeding throughbreds or sports horses.
