The property extends to approximately 8.5 acres, including grazing land which has been greatly improved over the past 20 years. Further land is available for purchase by separate negotiation, if required. The grazing land is divided into 3 fields, and provides ample summer grazing and winter turn-out for the three horses stabled on the property.

A stream (which eventually joins the River Medlock) runs through the ‘winter field’, and supports a variety of wildlife and plants.

The Paddock, adjacent to the stable yard, was reseeded in 2006, and was cut for hay on 30 July 2007. The yield, off approximately half of the field (the other half having been strip grazed), was 7 large round bales, which we estimate to be in the region of 2.75 tonnes per acre - well above average, even for southern, lowland pasture. The land is well fenced, drained and watered.

The extent of the curtilage and the land would enable further development (subject to relevant planning permissions and conditions). While there are currently only three horses stabled at Roundhill Farm the opportunity would exist to expand the equestrian potential of the property, which would easily support additional stabling and grazing.

(It's impossible to take a photograph of this building, lengthwise- it's too long!)  This large and well maintained barn is a Wareing building, with a concrete floor and large sliding doors to each end. Within the building there are two doored storage areas (one secure). Power, water and a telephone line are installed.

The barn, with immediate access from the stables and stable yard, would easily convert into an indoor arena or would provide additional stabling in the style of an American Barn.  The size of the barn would comfortably allow the addition of between 7 and 10 stables within the building, leaving ample room for feed, bedding and tack.  In the local area the charge for Do-it-Yourself livery is, on average, £20 per week per horse.  This potential, along with the 3 stables already on the property, presents a clear business opportunity for horse-lovers.
