This lovely family home with 6 stables, a big arena and paddocks could be yours – and it’s cheaper than you might expect...

Shire House is a double-fronted Georgian-style property with excellent equestrian facilities in a convenient village location – and it’s on the market for less than you might think…

This property is near to the village of North Scarle, which is between Newark (10 miles) and Lincoln (11 miles) and close to the well-served village of Collingham (four miles). The road and rail links are excellent with direct trains from Newark Northgate to London Kings Cross taking 73 minutes.

A number of high-profile events, including Burghley and Thoresby Horse Trials, take place nearby. Newark Showground is 15 minutes from the front door.

Other equestrian centres in the local area include Arena UK (20 miles), Vale View Equestrian (30 miles), Speetley Equestrian Centre (30 miles), Epworth Equestrian (30 miles) and Norton Disney (seven miles).

If you love your hunting, head out with the Blankney, South Notts or Grove & Rufford, while your local vet is Tower Equine (28 miles).

Southwell Racecourse can be found 17 miles away, while point-to-pointing takes place at Thorpe Lodge, also 17 miles away.

Shire House is on the market with Fine & Country for offers in excess of £750,000. Let’s take a look around…

The equestrian facilities to the rear of the property are securely located behind electric wooden gates. There are five paddocks with secure post and rail fencing on well drained pasture land – this property covers 4.14 acres.
