THIS private equestrian estate is up for sale for a price of £3,750,000.
The house, plotted in the heart of The South Downs National Park, extends to approximately 67 acres in total, includes an attractive farmhouse, a detached one bedroom bothy and an extensive, purpose built equestrian complex comprising 54 stables and staff accommodation.
The estate, known as Exton Stud House, is an unlisted four bedroom family home, has its own access off Allens Farm Lane with The Bothy, which has potential use as an annex to provide additional income, situated behind the main house. A further nine bedrooms, by way of two apartments, provide additional accommodation that has been used by staff.
With some updating, it is said that the equestrian complex could be developed into ‘one of the area’s premier equestrian facilities’. Laid out to provide the best possible care of race and competition horses, the main yard is made up of 54 stables, an indoor school, outdoor arena and numerous facilities which include a semi-covered walker, solarium, wash bays, grooming bays, tack rooms, laundry room, feed stores, rug room, staff room and other stores. The majority of the stables are well lit and supplied with individual drinkers, which is a well suited breeding facility.
Whilst the land is mainly dedicated to railed paddocks for equestrian use, there is a large bank that provides some stunning views of the surrounding area as well as small area of woodland that was replanted by the vendors when they bought Exton Stud.
Geoffrey Jones, in the farm agency team at Savills Winchester, who is handling the sale, says: “The sale of Exton Stud is an incredibly exciting one. Already enjoying a beautiful setting in the heart of the South Downs, with some updating the equestrian complex at Exton Stud could be developed into one of the area’s premier equestrian facilities – not to mention the potential revenue streams available via the existing accommodation, buildings and land.”
Viewings for Exton Stud are strictly by appointment through Savills only.
