Longview Stud

Introduction

Longview Stud offers a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a stud on the edge of Newmarket next door to Tattersalls and near the Racecourse.

Longview Stud consists of a house and a cottage, 20 boxes, an agricultural storage barn, Claydon horse walker and approximately 1.8 acres of grass paddocks. The site has been run as a small private stud, but is eminently suitable for use as rehabilitation centre, almost adjacent to Tattersalls.

Through separate agreement one can rent an additional 7.05 acres of land to the south of the holding owned by the Jockey Club (shown on the plan edged blue).

Location & Situation

Longview Stud was the home of the late Leslie and Betty Ward who purchased the property in 1998. The stud has been in active operation since then providing a successful breeding history. The Wards bred several successful horses including Mister Music, a two-time winner at Goodwood.

Longview Stud is right on the edge of Newmarket, the headquarters of the British horseracing industry and home to The Jockey Club, the Rowley Mile and July Racecourses, world class training facilities, Tattersalls, and several highly specialist veterinary practices.

Cambridge lies approximately 13 miles to the west and Bury St Edmunds approximately 15 miles to the east which provides a wider range of services and amenities.

Newmarket Station is situated 0.5 miles away offering direct train services to Bury St Edmunds and Cambridge. Cambridge provides transport links to Stansted Airport, London Liverpool Street and London Kings Cross.

The site itself is situated on the southwest of Dullingham Road, opposite Tattersalls with fantastic views across to the Links and Dullingham village.

The yard and main house benefit from individual gated access points onto Dullingham Road.

Longview House

Longview House is a large, detached bungalow with 3,499 sq. ft. of floor space. The house comprises; a large entrance hall, kitchen, drawing room, dining room, study, cloakroom, master bedroom with large ensuite bathroom and dressing room and a second bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The southern façade of the property has large windows to take advantage of the view over mares and foals in the paddocks. Although the house is ready for occupation, it would benefit from modernisation or redevelopment. The property has been owner occupied and is currently vacant.

Longview House and Lodge have separate accesses. The house entrance is secured by an electric gate, and the property has ample parking and a double garage which has an internal access door.

The Lodge

The Lodge is a three-bedroom house of about 1,474 sq. ft. The Lodge is to the north of the site and shares an access with the stable yard. The Lodge has been used for accommodation in conjunction with running the stud. On the ground floor are: an entrance hall and WC, living room and a large kitchen / dining room with double doors opening out into the courtyard garden and the stable yard. On the first floor: the master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a large, fitted wardrobe, two further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

Mains Gas, Mains Water, Private Drainage

The Yard (20 Boxes)

The yard has 18 boxes in three traditional timber stable blocks each with 6 boxes, a stable building of Cambridge brick under a pantile roof with two large boxes, a six bay Claydon horse walker, a loading ramp, muck store and an agricultural storage barn. The stables need to be updated but give the footprint for a smart set of stables. The land extends to 1.82 acres (0.74 hectares) and is divided into two paddocks with post and rail fencing and automatic water troughs connected to the mains supply.

Additional land

The Vendor has a grazing agreement with the Jockey Club for approximately 7.05 acres (2.8 hectares) of land to the south of the holding. We have spoken to the Jockey Club who have confirmed in principle that they would allow the agreement to be assigned to an incoming purchaser if required.

Alternative use

There is potential for the site to be used as a racehorse training establishment with the Jockey Club providing access around the Cemetery up to the Cambridge Road to the gallops (access will be subject to separate agreement with the Jockey Club).

Planning History

Planning Conditions - Planning consent for both the house and lodge was granted subject to equestrian (stud / training) occupancy conditions. Further details are available on the planning portal or from the selling agents.

Redevelopment - Longview House needs modernisation and offers an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to redevelop or redesign the property. The house has very large rooms which could easily be reconfigured to provide additional bedrooms.

In addition, the double garage is accessible from inside the dwelling and could be converted into useable internal floorspace. There is ample parking to the front of the property and direct access to the brick stable block which again has potential for an alternative use (subject to planning consent).
