THE PROPERTY
Aynsley House is an impressive and prominent unlisted village house, situated within the Conservation Area. With a fascinating history and place in Dullingham and Newmarket
racing folklore, this grand Edwardian village house originates from 1910 and was commissioned and built by Elijah Moore – a renowned Newmarket turf accountant, who having amassed £3,000 from a single bet, duly named the house after the winning horse.
Today the property retains many features from the period, with oak floors, a fine carved staircase and open fireplaces.
Built of mellow red brick under a tile roof, with grand box bays rising two storeys, Aynsley House has been sympathetically extended in recent times with the addition of a garden room, creating an expansive split level open plan kitchen/dining/living area. With accommodation well-suited to family living and entertaining, formal rooms include a well-proportioned drawing room, dining room, sitting room and magnificent part-panelled billiards room, ideal for parties, a gym, hobbies or as a grand home office. A study, utility room and cellar complete the ground floor.
The first floor is arranged around a large landing with principal bedroom and en suite, guest bedroom with dressing room and en suite and four further bedrooms, two with en suite facilities and a family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
Aynsley House is set behind a substantial wall with heavy timber gates opening onto a double width gravel drive providing ample parking. Flanking this is an extensive range of single storey outbuildings supplied with three phase electricity divided to include an array of useful rooms including garaging, workshop, log store, studio, former stables and tack room.
At the top of the drive is the original water tower to the house, now used for garden storage, but for which a Certificate of Lawful Use has been obtained for residential use. The configuration of the building would create a very attractive annexe.
The formal gardens adjoin the house to the rear with terraced lawns, mature beds and borders and an array of mature trees. There is a privately located heated swimming pool and surrounding terrace and summer house.
There is a formal vegetable garden and green house, mature orchard and two ponds (one spring fed), together with a large pole barn / tractor shed.
The fenced paddock is located to the north east of the house with access from the drive and extends to 2.13 acres and from which there are delightful far-reaching views across the village and surrounding countryside.
