About this place
Chippenham Hall stands within 300 acres of parkland near Newmarket, on the Cambridgeshire and Suffolk border.
The Grade II listed house and its gardens are privately owned and now run as a wedding and events venue.
The 35 acres of gardens hold RHS partner status and are known for their seasonal flower displays.
Visitors can also stay overnight in five en-suite rooms converted from the estate's old potting sheds.
History
Chippenham Hall has stood at the heart of the Chippenham estate for long enough to earn Grade II listed status, though detailed records of its early building history are not widely published. The estate has remained in private hands, with the surrounding parkland and gardens developed over time into their current 300-acre form.
Architecture
The house is Grade II listed, a country house set within landscaped grounds rather than a grand showpiece building.
Gardens & grounds
The 35-acre gardens hold RHS partner garden status and include a working cottage garden alongside a wider 300-acre parkland setting.
