OVERVIEW
An exciting opportunity to acquire a ring-fenced equestrian property with established use, offering significant potential for renovation and enhancement. Set within approximately 19.38 acres (7.85 hectares), the property includes two outbuildings, a 20m x 40m arena, and well laid out paddocks. Ideal for those seeking to create a bespoke equestrian facility in a peaceful rural setting.
SITUATION
Bouts Farm Stud is situated on Bouts Lane, just outside the sought after village of Inkberrow, Worcestershire. The property lies within the Wychavon District. The area is known for its attractive countryside, strong equestrian presence, and excellent access to local amenities. Approximately 1.2 miles away, Inkberrow village offers a primary school, village shop, pub, and GP surgery.
The nearby towns of Redditch, Evesham and Worcester provide a wider range of services, shopping, and schooling options. Transport links are convenient, with access to the A422 and A44, connecting to the M5 and M42 motorways.
Redditch and Worcester railway stations offer regular services to Birmingham and London.
LOT 1 – EQUESTRIAN YARD WITH ARENA AND PADDOCKS
Approx 15.74 acres (shaded green on sale plan)
Lot 1 is accessed directly from Bouts Lane, leading into a spacious yard area that includes a mobile home and two former broiler sheds, repurposed for equestrian use. The mobile home is serviced with mains electricity, mains water, and private drainage.
To the west of the mobile home are two large buildings previously used as broiler sheds. These have been converted into stabling, featuring internal Monarch stable fronts. One shed is connected to mains water, while the other has an electricity supply. Although the structures themselves are in poor condition and require refurbishment, some of the internal stables are in a usable condition, and the property’s established equestrian use supports further development.
Beyond the yard lies a 40m x 20m arena with a mixed sand surface. The surrounding land forms a single block, subdivided into smaller paddocks, with water troughs supplied by mains water. Boundaries are defined by post and rail fencing and mature hedgerows. While the fencing is currently functional, some maintenance and repair would enhance its condition.
The former broiler sheds offer scope for continued equestrian use or present a redevelopment opportunity, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. The existing buildings comprise of:
- Broiler Shed 1 (Approx. 11m x 77m)
- Broiler Shed 2/Stable Block (Approx. 11m x 58m)
(* all building measurements are approximate)
LOT 2 – PASTURE LAND
Approx 3.64 acres (shaded blue on sale plan)
Lot 2 comprises a single, well-contained parcel of Grade 3 agricultural land, currently laid to permanent pasture. The land is enclosed by a combination of mature hedgerows and post and rail fencing, offering natural shelter and privacy. Access is available via Lot 1 and through adjoining land.

PLANNING HISTORY
In 1999, approval was granted for change of use from a poultry farm to a children’s riding school and livery yard. In 2008, enforcement action was taken regarding the stationing of a mobile home on the land. A subsequent planning application was submitted which resulted in permission for the siting of the mobile home in association with the equestrian business.
