Summary - Temple Lane Farm, Temple Lane BA8 0JW
1 bed 1 bath Equestrian Facility
Purpose-built stud with barns, sand school and extensive water harvesting.
About 9.16 acres of ring‑fenced level pasture
A well-appointed, purpose-built equestrian holding occupying about 9.16 acres, Temple Lane Farm combines modern residential accommodation with substantial working facilities. The detached house (built 2012) sits beside two barns with internal stabling, a 20m x 40m post-and-rail sand school and multiple post-and-rail turnout paddocks, arranged for easy daily use. The site benefits from solar panels, a large rain-harvesting system (c.17,000 litres) and a private metered water supply, allowing extensive off-grid capability.
The yard has been run as a dressage stud and is laid out for foaling and youngstock: Barn 1 has two large foaling boxes plus three smaller stables; Barn 2 offers four large foaling boxes, one smaller stable, tack and rug storage. Planning history supports the equestrian use — including the 2012 consent that delivered the house and a 2020 consent for an equestrian storage building (commenced and still valid).
Practical strengths include level, well-fenced paddocks with water troughs and field shelters (available separately), a gravel south-facing seating area in a large enclosed garden, and off-street parking beside the stables. The house offers family accommodation over three storeys with a wood-burner sitting room, kitchen/dining space and four bedrooms across the first and second floors.
Important constraints are material to any purchaser: the dwelling is subject to an equestrian occupancy condition restricting occupancy to a person employed in the equestrian business at Temple Lane Stables (or qualifying dependants). Broadband in the area is slow and the property relies on an oil-fired boiler for primary heating; a gas-fired generator provides winter back-up. Buyers should factor ongoing yard maintenance, fencing upkeep and pasture management into running costs.
