Attractive stone 3 /4 bed farmhouse with a courtyard of four cottages, all with full residential use. Stable yard with 26 boxes, tack room and feed stores. In all approx. 22 acres
St. Leonards Equitation Centre was established by the current owners around 38 years ago and has, for over 33 years been a recognised BHS Approved Riding Centre providing lessons for all ages from the newest beginner to Olympic Medallists. It is a popular and respected centre which hosts a number of British dressage events annually.
The stable yard and storage is complemented by an excellent menage, second sand arena and turnout, jumping and grazing paddocks.
In addition to the very comfortable owners’ accommodation, there are four stone cottages (all with full residential use) presently used as holiday lets or occupied in conjunction with riding holidays along with an above ground heated swimming pool, sauna and Jacuzzi.
The long established paintball site brings variety to St. Leonards utilising in part the wooded areas adjacent to the river Kensey on which there are around 500m of fishing rights.
There is approximately 21 years remaining on a lease of a block of south facing solar panels being a 50kw array which provides free electricity for the complex through an underground 3 phase cable.
An excellent tarmac car park provides ample parking.
St. Leonards occupies a pretty setting just east of the town of Launceston, the ancient capital of Cornwall and just a few hundred yards from the river Tamar boundary with Devon.
Launceston provides an excellent range of social, commercial, educational and shopping facilities as does the town of Tavistock approximately 12.5 miles distant.
The main A30 dual carriageway lies within a mile of the property and gives excellent access west into Cornwall and east to the city of Exeter which provides intercity rail link, M5 motorway link and international airport.
The city port of Plymouth with continental ferry port is within easy striking distance as is the open moorland of Dartmoor National Park, Bodmin Moor and the north coast.
