FULL DETAILS
Freedom Farm Stud has been developed in the last 20 years as a private stud producing and rearing high class bloodstock. With an attractive house it is also well suited for a broad range of equine uses. Whilst only 10 miles from Newmarket, Freedom Farm Stud is deep in rural Suffolk, and has lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Access to the A11/ M11 is extremely easy so it is ideally placed for those wishing to be in range of Newmarket, Cambridge, Stansted airport, and London. The property is well laid out for ease of management and the Listed farmhouse has been restored and extended by the current owner. The additional 97 acres of arable land are half a mile from the property and could be a useful addition to the stud. Further details are available on request.
