"Queen Alexandra Stables, the historic home of Gay Kelleway Racing, has a rich heritage dating back to the late nineteenth century. Originally part of John Lambton, 3rd Earl of Durham s Harraton Court Stables, these stables have been a haven for successful horse racing. Named after Gay s triumphant victory at Royal Ascot in the Queen Alexandra Stakes, the property has a long history of producing group and major handicap winners. Recently renovated to a high standard, it now offers an exceptional blend of residential and racing opportunities.
Nestled in the peaceful village of Exning, on the northern outskirts of Newmarket, Queen Alexandra Stables enjoys a secure location on Chapel Street. It s conveniently situated near Newmarket Heath Training Grounds, accessible via the horse walks owned by Jockey Club Estates. For potential buyers seeking additional income, the property offers the opportunity to rent out the adjoining cottage and yard separately, enhancing its appeal.

The stables have undergone thoughtful upgrades and boast an immaculate main cottage, a one bedroom annexe, a one bedroom cottage, and a total of 34 boxes cleverly arranged within a compact yet practical space. The facilities include a lunging area and a Claydon Derby Exerciser that can accommodate five horses.

As you arrive through the gated entrance on Chapel Street, you ll be greeted by a spacious gravelled parking area. Further gates lead you through the traditional yellow and red brick frontage, forming the Trainers House and Head Lad s Cottage, into the charming courtyard.

The Trainers Cottage features a modern kitchen, a vaulted living room, a separate dining room with folding doors that open to the attractive side courtyard, two spacious bedrooms, and a newly fitted, large bathroom suite. The adjoining one bedroom annexe can be used as additional staff accommodation or incorporated back into the house for family use.

The Head Lad s Cottage provides charming one bedroom accommodation at ground level. Subject to necessary planning consent, it could be integrated back into the main house, offering additional possibilities.

The Training Yard is thoughtfully designed, featuring a main courtyard with eight traditional boxes and the yard office. A deceptively large timber framed barn houses 14 internal boxes and a tack room, while the side yard holds ten boxes and a feed room.

The convenient location of the Head Lad s cottage makes it ideal for accommodating a second trainer. Queen Alexandra Stables, with its rich history, top notch facilities, and peaceful location, offers an exceptional opportunity for both residential and racing enthusiasts. The property is further enhanced by an all weather lunging arena at the front, providing an ideal training space for the horses. Don t miss out on this remarkable chance to be a part of this legacy.
