A substantial country home with links to Newmarket's horse racing heritage has come onto the market for £1.4 million.
Blandford Lodge, on London Road near Newmarket, is a five-bedroom detached home set in around 2.38 acres of grounds.
The property boasts around 3,600 sq ft of living accommodation, as well as approximately 4,100 sq ft of former stud and stable buildings.
That gives the home close to 7,700 sq ft of combined space, with a further 12 acres of neighbouring paddock land also available by separate negotiation.
The additional land is divided into three paddocks and could create a holding of about 14 acres if bought alongside the house.
Inside, Blandford Lodge offers five bedrooms and four bathrooms, alongside several reception rooms.
There is also a substantial kitchen and breakfast area, study and snug, while traditional features and fireplaces remain throughout the property.
But arguably its most distinctive feature is the collection of former stable and stud buildings.
According to selling agent Binks and Brown, research has identified an association between Blandford Lodge, Blandford Stud and Qualitair Stud Ltd.
Reminders of the property's equestrian past remain, including tall stable doors and heavily worn concrete floors.
The buildings could potentially be used for horses, garaging, workshops, storage, studios or working from home, subject to any necessary planning permissions or consents.
Blandford Lodge's position also puts it within reach of both Newmarket and Cambridge, while Audley End and Whittlesford Parkway railway stations provide direct services towards London Liverpool Street.
Nearby places to eat include The Three Blackbirds at Woodditton and The Packhorse Inn at Moulton.
The property is being marketed chain-free by Binks and Brown, with a guide price ranging from £1.4m to £1.7m depending on how much land is included.
It is freehold and has an EPC rating of F.
The property was listed for sale on October 8.
