A superb Georgian style house with 205 acres
A superb Georgian style house built in the late 19th century with 205 acres of farmland and woodland close to Newmarket is on sale for the first time in more than 50 years. Moat Farm Estate is offered for sale in up to 6 lots and has a guide price of £4.3 million for the whole.
The estate includes the principal house with two Grade II listed thatched cottages and extensive outbuildings.
Simon Gooderham of the sole agents, Cheffins, says; “This is a delightful country estate with a six bedroomed house set in a stunning location just six miles south of Newmarket. The estate offers an excellent opportunity to purchase a substantial period house with land and these opportunities are rarely available in this area.”
The house is partly moated and set in delightful mature grounds with three reception rooms, study, kitchen and servants quarters on the ground floor. A fine staircase leads to a galliered landing giving access to the master bedroom suite with dressing room and bathroom. There are five further double bedrooms, all with feature fireplaces, and a family bathroom and separate wc.
The Grade 2 arable farmland is in a ring fence adjoining the house and provides superb views across the upper valley of the River Kennett.
The estate was created in the 19th century by Stephen Goodwin Howard who was a Newmarket magistrate and subsequently Liberal MP for Sudbury, Suffolk.
