Description
LOT 1 STEEPLE CHASE FARM
Coloured red on the sale plan and extending to 179.38 acres (72.587 hectares) and comprising:-
The Grandstand
In 2023, Nick Dakin of Dakin Estates was granted planning permission on behalf of the Vendor to convert the grandstand into a single four bedroom dwelling to include a home office and garage. Planning permission was granted under reference number 23/03002/FUL.
NP Architects have designed a proposal that is both highly functional and retains a memory of its former use. The ground floor will comprise bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and a reception room. The first floor will include an open plan kitchen, dining and living room with a spacious terrace. Large windows will allow ample natural light into the property as well as framing the far reaching views over the wider farmland.
The planning permission allows for a building known as the Masters hut to be demolished and replaced by an outbuilding housing the home office, garage and ancillary storage.
Agricultural Dwelling
In 1990 and again in 1996, planning permission was granted to build a dwelling subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition, whilst these permissions were never enacted, it is likely that a further application may be granted.
Land and buildings
The majority of the land is classified as Grade 2 with areas of Grade 1 towards the western boundary and Grade 3 towards the southern boundary. The soils are described as being of the Milton Series but are variable, the majority being a freely draining loam with a heavier area of clay towards the southern boundary.
• The arable land extends to 111.12 acres and is split into 5 fields.
• The pasture and former racecourse extends to 61.42 acres.
There are two farm buildings located towards the western boundary:-

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
