A SUPERB 100 ACRE STUD FARM WITH AN EXCELLENT FAMILY HOUSE AND FUNCTIONAL STUD BUILDINGS
Description
Introduction
Willingham House Stud is superbly placed to take advantage of Newmarket’s prominent position in the bloodstock world. For many years Willingham has been used for the boarding of broodmares and the preparation of their progeny for the sales. Immaculately presented, the stud is a real centre of excellence which a buyer can further develop due to the recent expansion of the paddock area.
Willingham House
Originally built in the 1970’s, Willingham House sits behind a high hedge well set back from Willingham Green Road. In superb condition, the house has been fastidiously maintained. Built of brick under a tiled roof, it is an excellent family house with flexible accommodation with up to 7 bedrooms including the annexe, which is currently incorporated into the main house. High ceilings throughout give the house a light and airy feel. The hall, kitchen and utility have stone floors. The well fitted kitchen has an oil fired Aga and electric hob and oven.
On the first floor are six bedrooms, 2 two of which have en-suite bathrooms, and 2 family bathrooms. Some of the bedrooms are dual aspect with views over the stud. A large office overlooking the stud could be converted to a seventh bedroom.
The house has a gravel driveway, with a separate entrance to the rest of the stud. There are excellent gardens surrounding the house, with a terrace accessed from the breakfast room and the side hall.
The Paddocks
Around 50 acres have been in paddocks for many years, a further 35 acres were acquired more recently and have been fenced and put down to grass in the last year. The stud now occupies most of the southern side of the village of Brinkley.
The main block extends to 98 acres in total, with a further 2 acres to the south, on the other side of Willingham Green Road.
The Land
Flat and gently sloping, the land has been meticulously maintained to create the perfect environment for the rearing of young horses. Classed as Grade 2 on the Agricultural Land Classification map, the soil is a highly fertile, lime rich loamy and clayey soil.
With a separate entrance, the stud farm buildings are in three main areas:
1) The Main Yard (22 boxes including 4 foaling boxes)
2) The Sand Yard (12 boxes)
3) The Isolation Yard (8 boxes)
