The property is well located for both the Bury Side Gallops and the Racecourse Side Gallops, these are well accessed via the extensive network of horse walks spanning the town.

HISTORY

The original Holland House Stables was formerly known as Lansdowne House, owned by Jack Watts in 1920 before changing hands in 1957 to Basil Foster and renamed in honour of chaser ''Joe Holland' who provided Foster his first success after commencing training in 1955 at Enfield.

The property suffered fire damage and was eventually demolished providing a level site with road access from Rowley Drive and immediately adjacent to the Rows horse walk linking Racecourse Side and Bury Side Training Grounds.

LOCATION

The property is near to the town centre and within close proximity to the Rowley Mile Racecourse and July Course beyond, together with Tattersalls Sales Complex. Newmarket is world famous as the headquarters of British horseracing with around three thousand horses trained in and close to the town. It is also home to many racing institutions including the National Stud, the National Horseracing Museum, Tattersalls and The Jockey Club, with some of the finest racing in the world

staged at both racecourses. The town provides a good range of amenities including schools, shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities, including health clubs, a swimming pool and golf club; Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds offer further amenities.

There is excellent access to the A14 and A11 (M11). There is a branch line connection from Newmarket to Cambridge and Ipswich. Cambridge, Audley End and Whittlesford Parkway offer direct rail lines in to London, with the fastest trains taking under one hour.
