Summary - Eccliffe, Dorset, Equestrian 27 Acres SP8 5RE
4 bed 2 bath Equestrian Facility
Commercial livery yard with approved on-site staff homes and extensive facilities.
27 acres with 33 stables and 24 ring-fenced paddocks
An exceptional, fully operational equestrian centre set in 27 acres on the rural fringe of Eccliffe. The yard includes 33 stables across multiple American-barn and traditional blocks, two mobile homes (to be removed once new dwellings are built), an indoor arena (40m x 20m) with viewing gallery, a 60m x 20m international-size outdoor arena with floodlights and mirrors, a horse walker, lunge pen and 24 paddocks — all ring-fenced with good lorry parking and turning. The business is described as a thriving livery operation producing healthy income and is offered freehold with extensive outbuildings suitable for continued commercial use or competition yard conversion.
Full planning permission (ref P/FUL/2025/01180) has been granted for two dwellings: a 4-bed detached manager’s house (approx. 1,400 sq ft) and a 3-bed single-storey worker’s bungalow (approx. 1,368 sq ft). Occupation of the new homes will be restricted to persons employed in the equestrian business (or dependants/widows), enabling on-site staff accommodation while protecting the site’s equestrian use under local policy.
Practical notes: services include mains water and electricity, calor gas heating and a septic tank waste system. The site sits in a remote hamlet setting with fast broadband and average mobile signal, low local crime and easy access to Gillingham and the A303. There is a high flooding risk for parts of the holding — prospective buyers should check risk maps and insurance implications. The two existing mobile homes will be removed once the approved dwellings are completed.
This offering suits a buyer seeking an income-producing yard, a competition yard operator or an investor wanting an established equestrian enterprise with permitted staff accommodation. Material considerations: the planning occupation condition restricts future residential sale/use; parts of the site are at high flood risk and the septic tank and other services should be inspected prior to purchase.
