Balaton Lodge, Newmarket

Proudly occupying an established and private plot, with impeccable grounds is this majestic six bedroom detached family home with an extensive floor area extending to some 6000 sq ft. Originally dating back to circa 1890 and once a famous racehorse training establishment, this sublime residential address was named after Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Europe. Providing a wealth of history, the property was subject to a total renovation and has been significantly improved during its current ownership. Retaining original charm and many architecturally striking period features, the property is complimented with opulent interiors and chic decor throughout. Beyond the front door, the entrance hall boasts elegant interiors, voguish wood panelling and ambient wall lighting. The ground floor accommodation enjoys generous proportions with four formal receptions rooms, incorporating a substantial drawing room/ lounge with dual aspect and bay fronted windows. A wonderful kitchen area has been fitted in a contemporary style and boasts quality throughout. A basement gym… has been created by the current homeowner. The dazzling study/ home office, professionally designed with bespoke feature wall, incorporating home library boasts sophistication. Down the hall is a practical laundry/boot room with external access, the ideal place for the dogs to dry and to drop off your muddy walking boots. An exquisite staircase leads to the first floor galleried landing. Directly off the landing, a wrap around main bedroom suite – and wow, this is something special. With the bedroom extending to 29 by 21 sq ft, there is a stunning dressing room area with mirrored wardrobes, complimented by a modern en-suite bathroom. There are two king sized bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms and a further three bedrooms, served by a traditional family bathroom suite. The current homeowners have also highlighted the potential development opportunity within the loft space, subject to the relevant planning consents. Outside, the property is accessed via electric wooden gates, with a sweeping circular driveway leading to a detached triple garage. The lodge boasts delightful wrap around grounds, with beauty at every angle.
