Description

Located on the outskirts of Eccliffe, around two miles from Gillingham and five miles from Shaftesbury, this approximately 27-acre holding is an established equestrian business with extensive facilities and consent for two rural workers' homes. The planning permission covers a four-bedroom detached manager's house and a three-bedroom detached bungalow for a worker, subject to the relevant conditions. The stated reference is P/FUL/2025/01180. The yard includes an indoor 40m by 20m arena with viewing gallery and mirrors, and an outdoor 60m by 20m arena with floodlighting and mirrors. Other facilities include a horse walker, lunge pen, multiple stable blocks, tack and feed rooms, workshops, staff and office accommodation, muck storage, and approximately 24 paddocks. There is also extensive parking and turning space for horseboxes and larger vehicles. The existing livery operation is described as fully operational, with the facilities also suited to other equestrian uses subject to any necessary consents. The land is predominantly pasture, divided into paddocks for grazing and turnout. The property is marketed by Paterson Estates Agents Ltd.

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a substantial equestrian operation rather than a conventional house project: around 27 acres, an established livery yard, indoor and outdoor arenas, extensive stabling and paddocks give it a distinctive working-holding canvas. The pasture appears maintained, and the visible facilities offer scope to continue the livery business or shape the site for another equestrian use, subject to any necessary consents. The listing also states that planning consent exists for a four-bedroom manager’s dwelling and a three-bedroom worker’s bungalow; check the permission, conditions and implementation status carefully. Some ancillary cladding and roof coverings look weathered, while the residential accommodation is not shown.

Key opportunities

  • Continue or adapt the established livery operation, supported by two arenas, extensive stabling, a horse walker, lunge pen and around 24 paddocks.
  • Make use of the stated planning consent for a manager’s house and worker’s bungalow, after verifying the permission and its conditions.
  • The maintained pasture, yard layout and generous horsebox parking provide a substantial base for a private competition or training yard, subject to any necessary consents.

Key risks

  • Some ancillary building cladding and roof coverings appear weathered and may need attention.
  • The residential accommodation is not shown, so its condition cannot be assessed from the available images.
