Set in the heart of Ashdown Forest, this former riding centre and stud occupies about 57 acres of pasture, woodland and three ponds with direct access to 6,500 acres of open forest. The property includes a very large main barn, lean-tos, a 60’ x 20’ sand school, three stables, three isolation boxes, an office, parking and two log cabins currently used for glamping. Mains water and electricity are connected, with additional private water supply and shared private drainage.
This is a versatile holding for equestrian use, small-scale commercial leisure (glamping) or an agricultural base. There is scope to increase income from additional log cabins subject to planning, and the site’s paddock layout and water supply make it practical for horse turnout or livestock. The sand school, substantial barn space and immediate forest access are strong operational advantages for outdoor or riding-related businesses.
Important practical and legal points are plain: any purchaser must apply for a new licence from the Conservators of Ashdown Forest to operate trekking or similar activities. Part of the property is communal freehold and some land is unregistered; sale is subject to existing wayleaves and easements. Shared private drainage and communal access arrangements mean management responsibilities and costs will transfer with the freehold share.
This is a rare, large-scale rural opportunity with clear commercial and lifestyle potential, but it suits a buyer prepared to manage licensing, communal ownership obligations, planning applications for additional cabins, and to verify boundaries and services prior to purchase.
