A RESIDENTIAL farm and equestrian holding - where racehorses were once trained - is on the market in Dorset. 

East Hill Stables, in Piddletrenthide, Dorchester, includes a large family farmhouse, 24 stables, straw barn, tack room, fodder an machinery barn and gently sloping ring-fenced pasture land. 

Rooster Booster, 2003 champion hurdle winner, was once trained on the property by Richard Mitchell, and he was also bred by Richard and his wife Elsie. 

Now, the 57.22 acre farm is on the market with Symonds & Sampson for a guide price of £1,450,000. For more, click here. 

The farm is subject to an agricultural and equestrian occupancy condition. It is suitable for those who would like to keep horses, or set up an equine business, or alterntively, buyers who may wish to keep livestock. 

Inside the farmhouse, which would benefit from some modernisation, there is a large sitting room, open plan kitchen and dining room and five bedrooms. 

There is also a double garage, with a recently refurbished first floor that includes a bathroom and fittings for a kitchen and office.
