An outstanding equestrian property situated on the outskirts of the Market Town of Melton Mowbray boasting first-class equestrian facilities to include a main barn with 12 stables, an indoor ménage with Andrews Bowen Wax Surface and staffroom area. A secondary barn with 7 stables and storage sat in approximately 9.31 acres of grassland. Having previously operated as a working equestrian yard, with the two-storey, kitchen, office, feed room and grooms’ bedsits and viewing area are yet to be completed, this property now offers the discerning equestrian purchaser the opportunity to acquire a most ideal range of facilities whilst retaining the ability to make the property their own.
Equestrian Facilities The clever and neat design of Springfield Stud offers vast opportunities to complete the well-constructed buildings to personal specification and to suit a range of equestrian disciplines.
The main barn (48.5m x 31.5m) is a steel framed Graham Heath building. At the heart of Springfield Stud the barn benefits from concrete panel and timber cladding to three elevations and ventilated box profile tin cladding to the rear elevation to offer greater air circulation to the ménage. The main barn further benefits from CCTV.
Steel sliding doors off of the large parking area provide access to the main stable yard. The main yard comprises of a washdown area (2.76m x 3.74m) with timber partitions, a yard toilet (1.48m x 2.33m), a lockable tack room (2.22m x 2.33m), with ample storage for all equestrian equipment, the staffroom area, 12 stables and ménage.
The Cheval Liberte Stables (3.70m x 3m) benefit from concrete flooring throughout and offer light and airy accommodation due to the building’s skylights and the large passageway. The rear of the building offers ample space to create more stabling while also providing useful hay storage and access on to the muck heap area through the steel sliding doors at the rear of the building.
The ménage can be accessed via a further set of steel sliding doors or via the main yard. Benefitting from an Andrews Bowen Wax Surface the indoor ménage offers ample space for training and is separated from the main yard with concrete panels and is surrounded by 1.2m wooden panel kick boards. With further sky lights and ventilated cladding unlike most indoor facilities the ménage offers a light and airy schooling space, further enhanced by the LED lighting to allow training to continue throughout the winter months.
The two-storey staff and area with planning for kitchen, office, feed room and grooms’ bedsits and viewing area are yet to be completed but offer any potential purchaser the chance to put their own stamp on the main yard and explore the potential for the building to benefit from the long reaching views over the Leicestershire countryside.
Accessed via the main entrance and with a hardcore surround the second stable barn is a steel framed building with box profile cladding and a steel sliding access doors. The cladding is ventilated to two elevations to allow the building to benefit from greater air flow, the building further benefits from LED lighting and a mains water and electric supply. With hardcore flooring and offering an additional 7 stables (3.47m x 3.5m), space for a tack room (3.36m x 3.47m) and toilet (1.2m x 3.34m) the second barn complements the main facilities.

The traditional ridge and furrow further allows the land to benefit from natural drainage making it most suited to equine grazing.
