The Sangster family has this week confirmed that The Manton Estate, Marlborough in Wiltshire was placed on the open market at the end of April, after they appointed Strutt & Parker and Adkin to conduct the sale jointly.
The Estate is comprised of about 2,155 acres and is considered one of England's finest sporting estates. It includes the historic Manton House together with a secondary house, Manton Lodge, twenty-four cottages, ten flats and two hostels.
The Estate was purchased by the late Robert Sangster in 1984 and it has been run by his family since his death in 2004.
Guy and Ben Sangster, Robert's oldest sons, commented: “Whilst it is sad that the family are selling Manton after thirty years of ownership, we are all in agreement that now is the time for another chapter in the illustrious history of this Estate. We remain committed to racing and breeding, and the Sangster colours will still be seen on the race track. Since we have owned Manton we are proud that over fifty Group 1 winners, including ten Classics, have been trained here. The Estate is profitable. Brian Meehan and George Baker the two trainers who currently lease facilities at Manton will continue to have our full support and we will keep them and our loyal staff in touch as matters proceed.”
Strutt & Parker and Adkin, the joint agents will be offerring this unique Estate as a whole or in up to seven lots.
