The county town of Taunton with an excellent range of shopping and recreational facilities is within easy reach.
The Property
Currently run as a successful livery yard with accommodation for 19 horses, Golden Lane Stables offers the rare opportunity to acquire a versatile equestrian holding in a convenient tranquil position. The property benefits from a range of useful buildings and an outdoor arena ring-fenced by its own pastureland. There is excellent outriding in the surrounding rolling countryside that can be accessed directly from the property.
The entrance to the stables is from a quiet country lane flanked by mature beech trees which provide privacy and shelter. Double wooden gates and a hunting gate lead to a large hard core turning and parking area. This opens onto the fenced and gated concrete yard with buildings on three sides, which comprise of:
Stable block 1 - A timber barn building with lean-to (17.37m x 10.62m) with corrugated sheet roof, concrete floors and lockable doors at one end. Containing 10 loose boxes with secure tack room at one end. There is an attached timber Open Fronted Store (4.37m x 3.43m) used for bedding.
Stable block 2 - A steel framed barn (11.31m x 10.85m) with part concrete block and part timber elevations and a profile roof, containing 5 loose boxes.
Stable block 3 - A timber stable block (14.43m x 4.72m max) under a profile roof with 4 loose boxes. There is an adjacent timber Open Fronted Store (4.37m x 3.43m) used for bedding.
Stores - A block and timber building with a rear lean-to (11.77m x 6.5m) containing 4 secure stores.
To the rear of the yard is the Olympic sized Outdoor Arena 60m x 20m with a sand and fibre surface.
Land
The majority of the well-drained gently sloping land is to the south east of the yard and is divided into a number of turnout paddocks. There is an access track which runs from the parking area parallel to the lane and continues around the paddocks. Despite it’s elevated position, the land is well protected by the surrounding trees with glimpses through to stunning panoramic views beyond. The lower land adjacent to the woodland, is steeper with an area of gorse bank. There are a further three smaller paddocks directly to the south of the main stable block.<br/><br/>
