Waresley Park, an outstanding country estate in Cambridgeshire, extending to about 120 acres, has just been brought to the market at a guide price of £6,500,000 for the whole. Together with a wonderful mansion house, large gate lodge, cottages, stabling and extensive equestrian facilities, Waresley is the most impressive equestrian estate to come to the open market in the UK this year. It is currently the home of the reknowned international 3 day event rider Eddie Stibbe.
The Estate includes an elegant house set in its own parkland. The well laid out accommodation comprises 3 reception rooms including a magnificent hall and conservatory, master bedroom suite, guest bedroom suite and 6 further bedrooms. The house has an integral guest flat and an indoor pool complex with many excellent features, it is beautifully finished and is in excellent order. The rooms enjoy a wonderful aspect and breathtaking views over the gardens, parkland, lake and cricket pitch which is let to the village club.
The Estate has exceptional secondary accommodation provided by the gate lodge, staff cottage and hostel. The stables number 55 and are complimented by some excellent training facilities including indoor and outdoor schools, dressage arena, two all weather gallops, grass gallops, schooling grounds and a cross country course laid out through the parkland. Recently the property has been used a training base for the British 3 day event team. Many famous names have visited and trained there including the current World Eventing Champion Zara Philips.
This year the Estate was used for the training and early work for the highly popular ‘Only Fools on Horses’ BBC hit. The facilities and accommodation were perfect for the build up and training giving the celebrities a great insight into the horse world.
Robert Fanshawe of Knight Frank’s Equestrian Property Department comments ‘This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a wonderful equestrian estate. Its provenance is renowned and it would make a fantastic home amongst the ‘blue riband’ of horse properties’
