A part of racing history: The original Whitewall Stables included the substantial stabling to the west of the property, now under separate ownership, and were established by John Scott, the “Wizard of the North” who, with his jockey brother Bill Scott, dominated racing during the 19th Century.

John Scott was the first independent public racehorse trainer and held the record of 40 British Classic winners for about 150 years, until this record was recently surpassed by Aiden O’Brien. The late Frank Carr trained at Whitewall Stables until the 1980s, when the larger property was divided into its current configuration. Many of the outbuildings and stables offered for sale were originally used for accommodation and storage as part of the larger Whitewall Stables property, and were only converted to stables in recent years.
