Detached home with stables in Newmarket for sale at £1.5m

The Lodge, in Bury Road, was formerly the home of champion horse trainer Geoff Wragg and his wife Patricia, and previously formed part of the Abington Place training establishment, which was sold following his retirement in 2008.

Geoff, who passed away in 2017, retained The Lodge as his home and the property is now up for sale following the death of Patricia last year.

The house extends to more than 4,000 sq ft and backs directly onto Warren Hill gallops, with paddocks, grazing land and six stables forming part of the grounds.

Entering through double doors, the reception hall provides access to the main living areas and the first floor.
