Take a look inside former Newmarket home of a champion racehorse trainer available for £2.75m
A Suffolk house that was formerly the home of a champion racehorse trainer is now on the market.
Mesnil Warren, on Bury Road in Newmarket, was originally owned by George Lambton, who was a British thoroughbred racehorse trainer in the early 1900s.
The property, dating from the latter part of the 1800s, is now on sale with Savills with a guide price of £2,750,000.
Mr Lambton was British flat racing Champion Trainer in the 1906, 1911 and 1912 seasons and had Mesnil Warren extended for him in 1925 by Sir Edwyn Lutyens.
The well-known English architect was commissioned to design a large extension to the house to provide extra guest bedrooms and further staff accommodation,
The property is home to eight bedrooms and has views over Newmarket heath and Warren Hill gallops.
Constructed of brick under a tiled roof, the house has extensive accommodation laid out over three floors.
A particularly nice feature of the property is the main drawing room which has a tall, panelled ceiling, open fireplace and wide bays to front and rear.
There is also a floodlit hard tennis court situated in front of the outbuildings.
