AN EXCEPTIONAL GRADE II LISTED PERIOD HOUSE SET WITHIN 4.2 ACRES (STS), ENJOYING VIEWS OF PADDOCKS AND COUNTRYSIDE BEYOND, WITH A RANGE OF EXTENSIVE OUTBUILDINGS INCLUDING STABLES AND BARNS (WITH CONVERSION POTENTIAL, SUBJECT TO PLANNING PERMISSION RENEWAL)
THE PROPERTY
The Thatches is a substantial and prominent Grade II Listed country house with extensive outbuildings and charming established grounds extending to 4.2 acres in all (sts). Formerly four cottages and now one dwelling, this timber framed property dates back to the 18th Century with rendered elevations under a thatched roof. The 3,529 sq ft property retains many of its original features including exposed beams and open fireplaces, whilst benefiting from impressive open plan living, separate ground floor bedroom suite (ideal for guests, a dependent relative or letting potential) and lovely views over the formal gardens and paddocks.
LOCATION
The Thatches occupies a picturesque rural setting, just three miles from Newmarket and highly accessible to Cambridge, the A11 and A14. Newmarket is set in attractive countryside on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border and is world famous as the headquarters of British horseracing. The town is Britain’s largest racehorse training centre and some of the finest racing in the world is seen on Newmarket’s two racecourses: The Rowley Mile and The July Course. Newmarket is also home to Tattersalls (Europe’s leading Bloodstock Auctioneers), veterinary practices of international repute, other bloodstock support services, the National Stud, the National Horseracing Museum and the Jockey Club. It also provides a good range of amenities including schools, shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities, including health clubs, a swimming pool and golf club. The picturesque market town of Bury St Edmunds and the University City of Cambridge with its burgeoning hi-tech and biomedical industries, science parks and reputable schools are within easy commuting distance with excellent access to the A14 and A11 (M11). There is a branch line connection from Newmarket to Cambridge and Ipswich, with a station at nearby Dullingham. Cambridge, Cambridge North, Audley End and Whittlesford Parkway offer direct rail lines into London, with the fastest trains taking under one hour. Stansted International Airport is approximately forty minutes drive.

Further equestrian facilities include an American Barn with 6 loose boxes (with light and power connected), stable yard with 5 additional boxes, store room and hay barn/cart lodge.
