Home with 'unrivalled views' and tennis court on market for £1m

A home tucked away at the end of a private road has come on the market with a guide price of £1,000,000.

Sidehill House, in Heath Road in Newmarket, is thought to date back to the 1950s and has not been lived in for some years.

The home requires renovating and a comprehensive programme of upgrading and modernisation.

The main entrance leads to a reception hall with arches, stairs to the first floor and provides access to three reception rooms.

Beyond the kitchen is a boot room, various stores and a study.

On the first floor, the main landing gives access to three bedrooms, a family bathroom and the en-suite shower room from the principal bedroom then interconnects with the second landing.

To the rear of the gardens is a hard tennis court.

Property agent Lucy Banks, director in the residential sales team at Savills in Cambridge, said: “Thought to have been constructed in the 1950s, Sidehill House is in one of the best locations in Newmarket, with uninterrupted views of the heath.

"It has been considerably extended over the years but now requires a comprehensive programme of upgrading and modernisation, with great potential to be re-designed to suit either a family or perhaps for dual generational living.

"It’s a rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a large house on an amazing plot in a wonderful position.”
