The equestrian facilities are accessible from both the principal drive and the back drive. The stable yard features 14 loose boxes, tack rooms, feed rooms, and a five-horse horsewalker. There is dedicated groom’s accommodation within the yard, which provides an open-plan kitchen and reception room, one bedroom, and one bathroom.
Towards the southeast of the estate is an Olympic-size floodlit outdoor arena with a viewing platform and hut for spectators.
As part of the extensive equestrian complex across the estate, a cross-country course was meticulously designed by Captain Mark Phillips. This course has attracted a crowd of 10,000 attendees for a former horse trials held here.
The owners have established and operated a highly successful racing yard here, focusing on breeding, rearing, and training racehorses. The horses were exercised on the six furlong gallop, which rises to 200 feet through the estate’s 103 acres.
This estate includes a seven-bed unlisted manor house, surrounded by formal gardens, which is accessed through a private tree-lined drive. In addition, the estate is home to five cottages and flats, an indoor swimming pool, a pool house, and a tennis court.
An avenue of lime trees line the driveway to the principal house, Highwood Lodge, which spans 8,127 sq ft. It offers family accommodation across four floors, including a staff flat.
The landscaped gardens are extensive and include a terrace, an avenue of olive trees, fountain, a raised pond, stepped canal pond and more. The gardens have an irrigation system, are flood lit and there is extensive CCTV, together with an alarm system.
