Church Farm Stud is blissfully located, set back from Church Lane in Ripe, Nr Lewes. It features a detached three bedroom bungalow and circa 7 acres of garden and land, including traditional grass fields and turnout paddocks. So gloriously sited, this former stud farm, is an ideal working livery whilst offering considerable potential as a 'pre-training' establishment, with immediate access to public bridleways.

The property is within the Ripe Conservation Area but outside the South Downs National Park and High Weald AONB. It's described as having excellent communication links, with access to the A27, A26, and A23.

A superb opportunity to acquire an equestrian facility with an indoor school; manège; tack room, feed store and fifteen loose boxes. With 7 acres of pasture, and a detached two bedroom bungalow with attached one bedroom Annexe, this property offers huge potential for home and income either as a livery yard, Riding School or as a lock-up storage facility. The freehold is being sold by Private Treaty with vacant possession on behalf of the Executors.

The Bungalow and Annexe require modernisation and refurbishment with the opportunity for a
vaulted ceiling, and the potential to be reconfigured or extended subject to the appropriate
Planning Consents being obtained.

The Bungalow currently comprises Hallway with wall mounted meters; fitted Kitchen with pinefronted wall and base units with worktop over, space for under counter washing machine, free
standing space for cooker and fridge freezer, under counter Grant oil fired boiler; fully tiled

and rail fence. Laid predominantly to lawn with a mature Cherry Tree, wooden garden shed, there
is a full width paved terrace leading to the side double wooden gate offering vehicular access,
outside tap.
The water damaged Annexe has been stripped and relined and comprises functioning Shower
Room; Bedroom and open plan Kitchen/Sitting Room with French doors onto a small, fully
enclosed, South-westerly facing rear garden laid to lawn.
The stabling consists of twenty loose boxes constructed of brick with part tiled and part
corrugated roofs around a large concrete yard with through access to the indoor school and
paddocks beyond. There is also a separate covered stable block with a further four loose boxes
with corrugated roofing.

The indoor school is a portal-framed former agricultural barn with corrugated roof and elevations,
electric light and power with ample hard standing for horse box parking.
The post and rail enclosed manège is situated to one side of the bridle path that runs through the
property and is approached via a shared access.

Entrance to the acreage is through the yard and consists of traditional grass fields and post and
rail fenced paddocks with mature hedging to the borders.

This is a highly desirable and flexible property with huge potential in the much sought after village
of Ripe, those looking to establish commercial activities such as a professional dog training facility or substantial storage facilities, particular for vehicles or motor homes.
