Introduction

Tudor Racing Stables are a real opportunity for the racehorse trainer, point to point handler or pre-trainer as it is well laid out, and has both pasture and gallops extremely close to the stables. For the past 10 years it has been the base for Sophie Leech, who has trained National Hunt horses to run both in Britain and in France.

Location

Just off the A48, between Gloucester and Chepstow, Tudor Racing Stables are ideally placed for Chepstow and Cheltenham, with Hereford, Ludlow and Bath in easy reach. Just a few hundred yards to the A48, and only 8 miles from the dual carriageway, it is well placed for horsebox access. Trains from Gloucester to London take 1hr 45 mins.

Elton is in lovely rolling country between the Forest of Dean and the River Severn. Westbury on Severn is 1½ miles away, with a range of shops, a village school and a pub.

Description

Approached by a drive from Lumbars Lane, just off the A4151, Westbury on Severn to Cinderford Road, Tudor Racing Stables are built for ease of management with the trainer's house being part of the main quadrangle.

The House

The house has 4 bedrooms a box room, a bathroom and shower room. The reception rooms consist of the living room, the kitchen cloakroom and office. The office has its own doorway to the yard. See the floor plans below.

The Yard

There are 30 boxes in total. The main yard of 20 boxes has a tack room, feed room, and rug room. Behind the main yard is a range of 10 further boxes.

There is ample parking, and a muck heap outside the yard. There is a horsewalker, in need of repair, by the drive.

The Paddocks

Immediately by the yard are two good railed paddocks. To the left of the main gate are a further 15 acres of level grazing, divided into paddocks, and with a woodchip outdoor school, approximately 30m x 15m.

The Gallop

Opposite the main gate is the woodchip all weather gallop, recently topped up. This runs for 5½ furlongs with a gentle climb, on the collar for most of its length. This is a well proven gallop, good for general work.
