Go the distance: North Yorkshire property could be a savvy buy for horse racing fans with deep pockets

Gallop up to Nun Monkton in North Yorkshire, where this sure-fire winner sits in 101 acres with room to stable 50 horses, plus barns, paddocks and an all-weather track previously used for harness racing, with a spectator stand, clubhouse and river frontage.

Your own “stable” has 3,000sq ft of living space to play with, including four bedrooms, a huge kitchen/breakfast room, sitting and dining rooms and a snug.

They’ve all been given a groomed finish with wood floors, while bi-fold doors open to the garden.

The nearby village has a 20-acre green grazed by cattle, with a duck pond. In spring the locals disport themselves around England’s tallest Maypole.

The package is for sale for £1.85million. Through Jackson-Stops (01904 200067).
