We are pleased to report that the market has responded warmly to our continued investment in residential properties across the Lancashire estates as we endeavour to establish a high quality standard that is consistent across the portfolio. There is still much to do in order to establish a good level of presentation across the wider estate and we will now be turning our attention to our farms and agricultural buildings. Thank you to all those who take pride in their properties and continue to treat them with the utmost care and respect. We must all play our part in looking after the Duchy inheritance so that these lands and properties can be enjoyed by future generations. Equestrian Excellence In Salwick Forrest Sport Horses at Pepper Hill Farm on the Salwick estate is gaining a reputation as a centre of excellence for all things equestrian. After moving into Pepper Hill Farm in 2014, co-owners Georgina Cook and Rebecca Melling immediately began transforming the holding, creating purpose-built stable blocks, tack rooms and a full size manège to provide an all year round facility for their horses and customers. CCTV cameras throughout the yard provide the highest levels of security and this year the team also installed a horse shower room and solarium. Today, the centre offers full livery, schooling and veterinary support to clients across the North of England. It has also allowed them to develop their growing horse breeding business.
