bah, i KNEW i'd find 'the project' after moving. i forced myself to avoid all estate agents etc as we were moving... and then... on my FIRST visit to rural & equestrian.. this pops up... we've been looking for a renovation project for SOOOOO long... we've searched in 4 counties... viewed over a hundred houses... and eventually gave up and bought a non-project house... ironically, this one is only a mile away from our current house...

Lol that is someone who puts the needs of the horses first check out the stables compared to the caravan and even the horse lorry has a fancy shed to stay in while the car is in a wooden lean too. Why are us horsey people all the same lol we live anywhere so long as the neds have the best

Not such a bargin, I live next door to it. The property is reinstatement only, is a candidate for spot listing, 8 pages of restriction on the planning. Cannot be underpinned but has to be tied, there is a convenant on what the land can and cannot be used for and knowing what it sold for as it used to be part of this property, it is highly overpriced. The cost of reinstatement is going to be anywhere between 100 - 150k and is in the current market fully done up is not going to be worth over 350k according to the agents. Plus the indoor school is a nissan hut so arches over so effectively you have 5m by 20 to ride in.

Shame it is on the market for so long as would love some nice horsey neighbours

Me and hubby have been to see it and it's in need of so much work it's unreal! It's so rundown and is way overpriced for the work that needs doing, it would end up an incredibly expensive property.

If only that was is Guernsey and at the same price, there is an old farmhouse down the road from me for sale with about the same amount of land but no stables and its between 1 and 1.5 million (it would be my dream to own and its only every going to be a dream unfortunately).

My family all live in Chatteris & I hate the fact that you can see the town from miles away on the drive up there. I like to have surprises around the corner!
