Buck Farm Barn is a rare 215-acre freehold equestrian holding in the heart of Berkshire’s polo country, offered as a large ring‑fenced block of pasture with direct road access. The site includes a cluster of farm buildings with potential for alternative uses and historic (now lapsed) planning consent to construct three polo pitches and convert buildings to ancillary accommodation — giving clear scope for a revival of an equestrian or recreational scheme.
The land lies on generally good loamy-over-clay soils and benefits from excellent transport links: close to Bracknell and Maidenhead, fast rail services (including the Elizabeth Line) and easy access to the M4/M3 corridors and Heathrow. For developers or equestrian operators the location, scale and proximity to major polo and racing venues are strong value drivers.
There are important constraints to note: permissions are believed to have lapsed, tipping and material importation occurred in large volumes (surveys confirm 873,662 m3 imported), and Environment Agency permits were surrendered. Recent technical reports (environmental due diligence, material classification, asbestos management and topographic surveys) are available and highlight recommendations to remove asbestos-containing materials in poor condition. A Material Classification Survey reported no significant contamination, but remediation and specialist input may be required before redevelopment.
This opportunity suits an experienced investor, equestrian business or developer ready to manage planning reset, site remediation and conversion works. The property offers scale and location advantage, but buyers should budget for restoration, remediation and the planning process before full use is realised.
