 Situated between Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket, Horsepool is a restored 16th century timber framed farmhouse set in 16 acres of private grounds. The house is tucked away in a dip in the undulating Suffolk countryside; approached down a quarter mile track flanked by oak trees. Formerly owned by, and on the boundary of The National Trusts' Ickworth Park Estate there are 360-degree views of rolling open countryside and woodland with no other property in sight. There are extensive lawns and the grounds are host to a variety of wildlife including green woodpeckers and fallow deer, which are regular visitors to the pond and often sighted from the house.

Out and About:
You are free to make use of the 16 acres of grounds, ideal for energetic children and pets, or stroll into the surrounding woodland and onto the National Trusts' Ickworth estate where there is a 7 mile circular walk, deer enclosure, landscaped gardens by "Capability" Brown and the eccentric house itself with its central rotunda and curved corridors. Just 4 miles away is historic Bury St Edmunds with its famous abbey and magnificent cathedral. Here you will find a charming Georgian theatre, a host of ancient pubs and first class restaurants in one of the most unspoilt market towns in the country. If you follow racing, Newmarket racecourse is close by and you can easily get to Cambridge, Ely and The Fens.
Day trips could take in Norwich, Southwold, Aldeburgh, Great Yarmouth and the Norfolk & Suffolk Heritage Coastline. The closest tube station on the London Underground is within an hours drive, London Stanstead Airport is less than that. And if this is all too much, why not just enjoy the peace and tranquility at Horsepool itself? You will most certainly feel that you have "got away from it all" here.
