A perfect two-horse set-up with barn, paddocks and lunge pen for under £600,000

The city of Lincoln is 13 miles away. The central train station there has daily direct services to Nottingham (50 minutes), London King Cross (two hours), Leeds (two hours 22 minutes) and Leicester (one hour 28 minutes).

Fans of equestrian sport will find themselves a 24-minute drive from the Lincolnshire Showground, home to the annual county show in June and Lincolnshire Horse Trials. Burghley House, home of the five-star event, is just over one hour away by car.

Equestrian centres in the area include Arena UK (37 minutes), Willow Banks (46 minutes) and Sheepgate Equestrian (48 minutes).

If you’re into Western Riding, Oakridge Arena (31 minutes) offers shows and clinics and plenty of canine activities, too.

At the back of the property lie the equestrian facilities – two acres of neat post-and-rail paddocks and a lunge pen. There are two mobile field shelters in the paddocks, too. The current owners say there is a livery yard a short distance away where you can hire a 60x40m arena.

There’s an airy wooden barn with two stables, a hay store and tack room.
